Wallpaper - Turquoise Sea Waves I

Our Turquoise Sea Waves I wallpaper, created in collaboration with artist Silvia Vassileva, captures the quiet movement of the ocean through expressive, painterly brushwork. Across the lower half of the composition, layered strokes of cobalt, turquoise, and deep ocean blue suggest rolling waves tipped with pale crests, anchored by subtle dark undertones. Above, the expansive sky blends soft washes of pale powder blue, off-white, and faint hints of warm buttercup yellow. Printed made-to-measure on our PVC-free paper with a subtle surface structure, this design brings an open, horizon-led atmosphere to bedrooms, living rooms, and calm coastal interiors.

In the room

Because the composition is split naturally along a low horizon line, we find this design works exceptionally well on wider, uninterrupted feature walls. In a living room behind a low-profile sofa or in a bedroom behind the headboard, the lower band of blue anchors the furniture while the lighter upper sky opens up the vertical space of the room. The horizontal sweep of the brushstrokes can also help visually elongate a room, making it a great addition to a dining area or a dedicated home office where you want an uncluttered, expansive focal point.

In rooms with plenty of daylight, the nuanced interplay between the turquoise and pale blue tones becomes clearer, while warmer ambient lighting in the evening gently highlights the faint yellow notes in the sky.

Styling it

The expressive, impressionistic feel of the brushstrokes pairs beautifully with organic modern and contemporary coastal interiors that embrace understated, tactile simplicity. We would suggest pairing this wallpaper with furniture in light, natural woods like bleached ash or pale oak, which mirror the relaxed mood without competing with the blue tones. Upholstered pieces in textured cream, pale sand, or crisp white fabrics allow the ocean palette on the wall to remain the central feature of the room. To keep the focus on the artwork's fluid movement, choose simple silhouettes with clean, low lines rather than overly ornate or high-backed furniture.

Colour combinations

The motif itself combines a rich base of turquoise, deep navy, and cobalt with crisp white, soft sky blue, and subtle touches of pale warm yellow across the horizon. When styling the surrounding walls and woodwork, soft off-whites and cool chalky neutrals create a crisp, seamless transition that keeps the room airy. If you want to lean into the oceanic depths, incorporating accents or woodwork in soft slate grey, deep indigo, or washed seafoam blue will echo the layered brushstrokes in the water.
