Wallpaper - Scallop Blues

Our Scallop Blues wallpaper mural, created in collaboration with artist Jeanette Vertentes, brings an expressive painted scallop shell to the wall at an impressive visual scale. Rendered with the textured character of oil paint brushstrokes and palette knife work, the shell features vibrant flecks of coral orange, yellow, violet, pink, and soft white against a layered background of deep ocean blue, teal, and navy. We produce this design as made-to-measure mural wallpapers printed on PVC-free paper with a subtle surface texture, making it straightforward to hang while creating a bold coastal focal point.

In the room

Because of its large central motif and painterly composition, we see this wall mural working best on a wide, relatively uninterrupted feature wall where the full fan of the shell can be seen without tall furniture breaking the silhouette. It feels right at home in a vacation home living area, a relaxed coastal lake house bedroom behind a low headboard, or a powder room and bathroom setting where an artistic statement adds unexpected charm. The rich teal and navy background grounds the space, while the bright pastel and warm accents within the shell catch the eye and draw focus into the center of the room.

Styling it

To let the dynamic impasto-style brushwork take center stage, we recommend pairing this design with furniture that has clean, understated lines. Light-toned woods like pale oak or bleached ash echo the sunlit, coastal feel without competing with the vibrant shell. Soft, unpatterned textiles in sand, ivory, or washed linen balance the painterly movement on the wall, while accents in brushed brass or warm ceramic can pick up on the yellow and coral brushstrokes scattered across the motif.

Colour combinations

The wallpaper itself combines a backdrop of deep ocean blues, teals, and soft aqua with lively touches of coral orange, warm gold, lilac, and creamy white across the shell. On adjacent walls, soft off-whites, warm stone, or pale sandy neutrals keep the room bright while allowing the blue tones to stand out. If you prefer a richer, more enveloping feel, drawing out the deeper teal or navy for woodwork and trim creates a cohesive, gallery-like surround.
