Wallpaper - Maritime XV

Created by Daphne Brissonnet, our Maritime XV wallpaper brings together intricate circular ceramic-plate motifs filled with nautical details against a deep navy background. We particularly like the balance between the crisp painted mosaic borders, braided rope rings, and central oceanic illustrations featuring starfish, scallop shells, and knotwork. The vibrant Mediterranean palette pairs rich cobalt and navy blue with clean white, sandy gold, and warm coral accents. Each medallion presents a unique ornamental composition, giving the overall design a playful, rhythmic movement across the wall. Made to measure and completely PVC-free, this design brings fresh coastal character to residential interiors.

In the room

The circular geometry and lively scale make this design an engaging choice for spaces where you want a spirited feature wall. In a bathroom or cloakroom, the Mediterranean maritime plates create a buoyant, decorative backdrop around a mirror and basin. We also see this working exceptionally well in a holiday cottage, pool house, or family dining area, where the overlapping medallions give the room an inviting, artisanal feel.

Because the motif carries a strong graphic rhythm with varied medallion sizes, it works best on an accent wall where the full circles can be appreciated without being broken up by tall, bulky storage units. Giving the design a relatively clear wall surface allows the playful starfish, shell emblems, and mosaic rings to set the mood of the room.

Styling it

To complement the rich coastal theme without overwhelming the space, we suggest grounding the room with clean, relaxed elements:

• Pair the wallpaper with crisp white painted woodwork, shiplap panelling, or chalky white cabinetry to mirror the bright white plate centres and keep the overall room light.
• Introduce natural materials such as woven jute, rattan, or bleached timber furniture, which echo the rope-inspired borders within the medallions.
• Use polished chrome, brushed nickel, or unlacquered brass hardware on taps and cabinet handles to add a classic nautical touch.
• Add small accents in terracotta or coral textiles, such as hand towels or cushions, to subtly pick up the warm tones within the starfish and border beads.

Colour combinations

The design is built around deep navy blue, bright cobalt, and Mediterranean azure, balanced by clean white and warm coral-red highlights. For adjacent walls, a soft chalk white or a very pale grey-blue creates a seamless, breezy transition. If you prefer a moodier, enveloping atmosphere, matching surrounding walls or architectural trim to the deep navy backdrop allows the bright ceramic medallions to pop with striking definition. Warm terracotta, sandy beige, and soft blue accents in surrounding soft furnishings will effortlessly tie the entire room together.
