Wallpaper - Blue Tide

Designed by Yvette St. Amant, our Blue Tide wallpaper brings expressive painterly energy to an interior with broad, sweeping brushstrokes in cobalt, deep navy, olive, and forest green. The composition balances weight and air: the lower section anchors the wall in richly layered strokes of dark blue and verdant greens, while the upper portion lifts into soft mint, pale sky tones, and open white paint marks. It has the visual presence of an abstract coastal landscape in motion. Produced as a made-to-measure, PVC-free design on paper with a subtle physical structure, it creates a striking feature wall in modern homes.

In the room

We love how this design naturally anchors a room while keeping the upper visual space open and airy. In a living room or dining room, we would give it a wide, uninterrupted wall behind a sofa or dining table where the full sweep of the brushwork has space to breathe. Because the darker pigment sits lower down and gives way to pale, airy washes towards the top, the wallpaper grounds furniture comfortably without making the room feel enclosed. In a bedroom, placing Blue Tide behind the headboard creates an artistic focal point that brings depth and rhythm to the wall. It also works beautifully in a bright home office or hallway, where the fluid movement and painterly scale can be appreciated up close.

Styling it

Because Blue Tide carries strong visual gesture and rich colour, we recommend keeping large surrounding furniture relatively grounded and clean-lined to let the mural wallpaper lead the space.

Mid-tone or dark timber pieces, such as walnut or rich oak dining tables and sideboards, connect naturally with the deeper blue and green tones in the base of the design. Clean upholstery in off-white, oat, or charcoal wool provides a crisp, quiet contrast against the energetic strokes. Matte black or muted bronze metal accents in lighting and table frames help define the room without competing with the organic, freehand character of the artwork.

Colour combinations

The artwork centres on a vibrant palette of cobalt blue, deep navy, sea green, olive, and crisp white, with subtle washes of pale teal and mint across the top.

To complement the design on surrounding walls, woodwork, or cabinetry, consider:

• Clean off-white or soft alabaster paint on adjacent walls and ceiling to echo the airy, open upper strokes of the motif.
• Deep navy, ink blue, or dark olive on doors, skirtings, or built-in joinery to pick up the grounding tones at the base.
• Muted sea foam or dusty sage for textiles or adjacent smaller spaces, creating a gentle, tonal transition that harmonises with the cool greens in the painting.
