Wallpaper - Sea Life I

Designed by Lisa Audit, our Sea Life I wallpaper captures a drifting school of fish in fluid, watercolor-like strokes. Washes of soft aquamarine blue, gentle seafoam, and deeper nautical blues move gracefully across a light, airy background, giving the artwork a sweeping horizontal rhythm. We particularly like how the semi-transparent layers and varying color density evoke the gentle motion of ocean currents. Printed as made-to-measure wall murals, our mural wallpapers are PVC-free and feature a subtle physical structure in the paper that lends depth to every painted detail.

In the room

Because the composition relies on an arched, horizontal wave of swimming fish, we see this working exceptionally well across a wide, uninterrupted wall where the full movement of the school can unfold. In a bedroom, placing this design behind the bed headboard creates an expansive, tranquil backdrop. The airy negative space at the top and bottom also makes it a wonderful fit for a nursery, children's room, or playroom, offering visual interest without overwhelming the space. In a living room or bathroom, positioning the mural along a main focal wall allows the subtle gradient of water tones to bring a breezy, open feel into the interior.

Styling it

To complement the light, coastal character of the design, we suggest pairing it with clean-lined Scandinavian or contemporary furniture in pale woods like ash or bleached oak. Keeping surrounding textiles simple, such as unbleached cotton or washed neutral linens, preserves the serene atmosphere without competing with the watercolor shapes. For decorative accents, subtle touches of matte white ceramics or woven light wicker echo the organic, coastal mood while letting the aquatic blues remain the primary focal point of the room.

Colour combinations

The artwork centers on a refreshing aquatic palette, featuring soft aquamarine, translucent seafoam, and accents of deeper indigo and ocean blue. On adjacent painted walls, crisp off-white, pale chalk, or very soft sky blue will seamlessly extend the light background of the mural. If you prefer a richer look, pulling out the deeper navy tones for an adjoining accent wall, painted trim, or upholstery provides an elegant, grounded contrast against the softer blue washes.
