Wallpaper - Marine

In our Marine wallpaper, designed by Mercedes Lopez Charro, soft vertical strokes and layered ovals drift across the surface in a fluid, rhythmic composition. Cool teal, deep marine blue, and slate grey meet warm sandy beige and gentle off-white tones, creating an abstract design with a painted visual character and subtle translucent layering. The vertical movement brings an open, airy balance to the wall without overwhelming the room with sharp geometric lines. Our made-to-measure mural wallpapers are PVC-free and printed on paper with a subtle physical structure.

In the room

We see this wallpaper working especially well in spaces where you want a calm, contemporary visual atmosphere. In a bedroom, placing Marine on the wall behind the headboard allows the layered vertical forms to anchor the sleeping area while keeping the overall palette soft and restful. In a living room or open-plan dining space, the design has room to breathe across a wider uninterrupted wall, where the full rhythm of the brushstroke-like ovals can unfold. It also adapts nicely to compact areas such as a home office, study, or hallway, where the upward flow draws the eye naturally along the height of the wall.

Styling it

The balanced interplay of warm sand and cool oceanic blues makes this design remarkably adaptable across contemporary and mid-century modern interiors. We would pair it with clean-lined furniture in warm wood tones, such as teak or natural oak, which pick up on the beige elements in the pattern. Because the wallpaper carries a gentle visual movement, keeping surrounding upholstery and larger textiles relatively plain lets the artwork remain the focal point of the space.

Colour combinations

The palette in our design centers on cool marine blue, teal, slate grey, and pale sky blue, balanced by warm beige, sand, and creamy white. To complement the wallpaper on adjacent walls or woodwork, we recommend soft neutral tones such as off-white, warm linen beige, or a very pale grey. If you prefer to draw out the deeper accents for skirtings, shelving, or accent furniture, a muted navy or dark petrol blue creates a rich and intentional contrast.
