Wallpaper - Three Whales

Our Three Whales wallpaper by Yvette St. Amant brings a minimalist marine character to the wall with three stylised whales floating across a clean white backdrop. Each whale is defined by fluid, brushstroke-like stripes in layered tones of blue and navy, balanced with delicate line work along the fins and tails that suggests gentle motion. The open composition gives the motif an airy, hand-painted look that works beautifully in modern family living spaces or tranquil sleeping areas. Like all our wall murals, this design is made-to-measure to your exact wall dimensions on PVC-free paper with a subtle paper structure that is straightforward to hang.

In the room

Because of the generous white space around the swimming figures, we see this mural wallpaper working especially well as a focal wall in a nursery, children's bedroom or dedicated playroom. The distinct silhouettes introduce a gentle sense of rhythm without overwhelming the room, making it easy to place a cot, low bed or reading bench along the lower half of the wall.

In a bathroom, powder room or calm home study, the design creates an immediate feeling of openness. We would give the whales a relatively broad, uninterrupted wall area where the trio can float naturally across the room, allowing the horizontal flow of the artwork to visually lengthen the space.

Styling it

We like pairing this design with quiet, Scandinavian-inspired interiors that let the graphic nature of the blue brushstrokes take centre stage. Clean-lined furniture in pale birch, light ash or painted white wood complements the crisp background and keeps the overall mood light and uncluttered.

To echo the nautical theme in a subtle, contemporary way, you could introduce simple woven textiles, a soft textured wool rug or muted denim accents. Keeping surrounding accessories minimal ensures the expressive brushwork remains the main decorative feature of the room.

Colour combinations

The palette within our design centres on deep navy, mid-blue and soft watery tones set against a bright, clear white.

When choosing colours for surrounding walls, woodwork or larger furnishings, we recommend staying within crisp off-whites, very soft cool greys or pale ocean blues to preserve the design's airy character. For a slightly bolder look with grounded contrast, deep navy accents on cabinetry, doors or skirting boards tie directly into the darkest tones of the whales and frame the motif cleanly.
