Wallpaper - Great Reef, Teal

Our Great Reef, Teal wallpaper captures the rich life of an underwater seascape, layering coral formations with swimming sea creatures across a deep marine backdrop. In this design, colourful reefs in warm red, orange, and green anchor the lower composition, while turtles, a stingray, jellyfish, and a spotted octopus move gracefully through the water above. Swirling current lines and fine painted textures give the entire scene a sense of gentle fluid motion. Printed as a made-to-measure, PVC-free wall mural on subtly structured paper, this design brings an engaging illustrative quality to feature walls.

In the room

We see this design working particularly well in a dining room, powder room, or home office where you want an expressive, immersive focal point. Because the composition builds from coral at the base to open water and swimming sea life higher up, it naturally suits a wider, uninterrupted wall. This allows the full variety of marine animals and delicate currents to be appreciated without tall furniture obscuring the intricate reef details below.

In a smaller space like a cloakroom or study, our mural wallpapers create an enveloping, jewel-box atmosphere. The deep teal and blue background gives the room a grounded character, while the lively movement of the animals prevents the darker palette from feeling heavy or enclosed.

Styling it

The rich illustration style lends itself beautifully to eclectic, vintage-inspired, or contemporary coastal spaces. We recommend pairing the wallpaper with clean, considered elements that let the artwork take centre stage:

• Use warm, medium to dark timber furniture, such as walnut or rich oak, to echo the natural heritage feel of the illustration style.
• Introduce understated warm metals, like aged brass or antique bronze hardware, to complement the red and amber tones in the coral.
• Keep surrounding textiles relatively simple and textured rather than heavily patterned, choosing plain woven fabrics in muted sand or deep marine tones to maintain visual balance.

Colour combinations

The foundation of our wallpaper is built on deep teal and dark ocean blue, energised by contrasting accents of coral red, warm orange, amber, and vibrant leafy greens.

When choosing paint colours for adjoining walls, woodwork, or ceiling surfaces, we suggest looking to the softer tones within the mural. A soft linen tone or pale sea-mist grey keeps the surrounding space light and fresh. Alternatively, pulling the deep teal or a rich charcoal blue onto the surrounding trim and skirting creates a sophisticated, cohesive backdrop that frames the wallpaper effortlessly.
