Wallpaper - Stormy Seas

Our Stormy Seas wallpaper brings together sweeping brushstrokes and rich painted textures in cool shades of sky blue, deep blue, and white. Created by Julia Purinton, this abstract oil painting design captures the dynamic, flowing movement of rolling ocean swells and drifting clouds across an open horizon. The contrast between deep blue patches and softer, lighter tones gives the artwork an expressive depth and a calm, tranquil character on the wall. Like all Wallism wallpapers, this mural wallpaper is made to measure to your exact wall dimensions and printed on PVC-free paper with a subtle physical surface structure.

In the room

We especially like how this design works in a living room where you want an artistic focal point across a wider, uninterrupted wall. Because the composition relies on broad, continuous sweeps of paint and atmospheric movement, giving the motif plenty of horizontal space allows the full rhythm of the brushwork to unfold naturally. We also see this working beautifully in a dedicated meditation room or quiet reading corner, where the cool palette and serene ocean feel can anchor a calming retreat. If your room receives generous natural daylight, the softer tonal transitions between the white and sky blue areas become particularly vivid.

Styling it

In contemporary and minimalist interiors, we suggest keeping the surrounding furniture visually grounded to balance the movement in the mural. Low-profile seating in simple silhouettes works exceptionally well, as it leaves the main body of the painted motif visible.

To maintain the tranquil character of the space, we would combine this design with natural, lighter wood tones such as ash or pale oak, which provide a warm organic counterpoint to the cold blue tones without competing for attention. Textured soft furnishings in unbleached or neutral fabrics also help soften the room while keeping the focus firmly on the artwork.

Colour combinations

The palette of our wallpaper centres on cool sky blue, deep oceanic navy, and soft white highlights. To create a cohesive room scheme around it, we recommend pairing the design with clean off-white or soft pale grey on adjacent walls and woodwork. If you prefer a richer, more enveloping feel, drawing out the darker blue tones through deep navy accent textiles or painted shelving can create a striking and sophisticated contrast.
