Wallpaper - Whales

Our Whales wallpaper brings an artistic marine motif to life through four stylised whales arranged across a crisp white background. Created by artist Yvette St. Amant, the design showcases a watercolour-like wash in varying tones of navy and soft denim blue. Each whale silhouette is filled with distinct decorative patterns, from abstract mosaic-style shapes to vertical textured stripes and delicate fine-line fin work. This open, vertically balanced composition brings a calm, expressive rhythm to interior spaces. Printed as a made-to-measure mural, the wallpaper uses PVC-free paper with a subtle physical surface structure.

In the room

The generous white space around each figure gives this design a light, uncluttered presence, making our mural wallpapers particularly versatile across different room layouts. We find it works wonderfully as an accent wall in a nursery, toddler room, or children's bedroom, where the animal shapes feel playful without overwhelming the space. The clean, contemporary composition also translates well to a family bathroom, guest bedroom, or a relaxed coastal living room. Because the individual whale motifs have significant visual detail, the design benefits from being displayed on an uninterrupted wall, such as behind a crib, low bedframe, or sofa, ensuring the full silhouettes remain visible.

Styling it

We recommend keeping the surrounding furnishings relatively simple to let the intricate watercolour patterns take centre stage. Clean-lined furniture in light, natural woods or painted white finishes creates a fresh, Scandinavian-inspired look that complements the airy backdrop. Soft linen textiles or woven cotton throws in muted blue or off-white help build a cohesive, comfortable setting without adding competing patterns. For lighting, warm ambient lamps soften the high contrast between the navy tones and the white ground, highlighting the delicate blue gradient within each whale.

Colour combinations

The core palette of this wallpaper combines deep navy, marine blue, and soft diluted blues against a pure white background. To create a balanced room scheme, pair it with adjacent walls painted in soft off-white, chalky grey, or a very pale coastal blue. If you prefer deeper contrast, furniture or architectural woodwork in dark midnight navy anchors the room effectively. Warm accents like sandy beige or soft terracotta in smaller decorative accessories also offer a pleasing, natural warmth against the cool aquatic blues.
