Wallpaper - Crustacean Core

Our Crustacean Core wallpaper brings a playful, decorative character to the wall with illustrated orange crabs set within neat scalloped frames. Created by RNM Arts, the design draws on an ink drawing aesthetic with fine linework, textured shells, and raised claws rendered in warm rust and earthy tones against a neutral beige ground. The repeating grid layout gives the coastal motif an orderly, heritage-inspired structure, while subtle tonal shading brings definition to each individual crustacean. Like all of our wallpapers, it is custom made-to-measure and printed on PVC-free paper with a subtle surface structure.

In the room

We especially like this design in a kitchen or dining room, where its lighthearted marine theme adds personality without overwhelming the space. The structured, rhythmic repeat works nicely across a main dining wall, creating a distinct visual focus behind a table and chairs. Because the pattern relies on an organized framework rather than an uncontrolled scatter, it also sits comfortably on smaller wall sections, such as around a breakfast nook or alongside open shelving in a kitchen.

Styling it

The balanced geometry and warm rust tones pair naturally with traditional, colonial, or relaxed coastal interiors. We suggest leaning into warm-toned timber furniture, such as stained wood dining tables or painted cabinetry, to complement the earthy ink detailing in the shells. Keeping larger elements simple allows the illustrated repeat to take center stage, while simple ceramics or woven placemats echo the artisanal feel of the pattern.

Colour combinations

The wallpaper is built around warm rust, orange, and earthy undertones balanced by a soft beige backdrop. To highlight the design, pair it with off-white or sandy beige paint on surrounding walls and woodwork. If you want to draw out the warmth of the print, deeper terracotta accents, muted ochre, or warm wood finishes create a cohesive, inviting palette.
