Wallpaper - Into the Big Blue

Our Into the Big Blue wallpaper brings the tranquil expanse of open water into your home through an expressive oil painting aesthetic created by artist James Wiens. The composition features a solitary white sailboat gliding across vivid aquamarine blue and deep turquoise sea, offset by an open sky of soft clouds and pale azure tones. Visible painterly brushwork and layered palette knife effects give the horizon a serene, tactile appearance without overwhelming the room. Printed to order and made-to-measure, this PVC-free design features a subtle structure in the wallpaper paper that adds visual depth to coastal-inspired interiors.

In the room

In a living room or relaxed family space, we like giving this mural wallpaper a wide, uninterrupted accent wall where the sweeping horizontal lines of the sea and sky can establish a sense of calm openness. The lower two-thirds of the design are anchored by rich aquatic blues, which naturally grounds low-profile seating like a relaxed sofa or low credenza without hiding the focal point of the sailboat. For a holiday home, coastal cottage, or lake house retreat, the artwork works beautifully on the main wall of a lounge area, introducing colour while maintaining a serene and airy atmosphere.

Styling it

We recommend pairing this seascape with natural materials and light, unpretentious interior elements that echo its coastal character.

• Simple linen upholstery in off-white, sand, or soft oat tones balances the saturation of the turquoise water without competing for attention.
• Weathered, pale oak or whitewashed timber furniture complements the impressionistic brushwork and keeps the overall aesthetic relaxed.
• Muted nautical or French country touches, such as brushed nickel accents or woven wicker baskets, harmonise naturally with the maritime subject matter.

Colour combinations

The wallpaper is defined by its vibrant aquamarine and deep ocean blues, grounded by sandy neutral undertones along the horizon and soft sky blue and cloud white across the upper third. To complement the mural, we suggest painting adjacent walls and architectural trim in warm chalky whites, soft biscuit, or muted sand to let the vibrant sea tones remain the clear focal point. For accent colours in cushions, throws, or decorative ceramics, deep navy, seafoam green, or gentle terracotta tones tie the coastal palette together seamlessly.
