Wallpaper - Arnava

Our Arnava wallpaper captures the dramatic movement of ocean waves through an intricate, embroidered-looking textile aesthetic. Rendered in deep indigo, ocean blue, and off-white foam crests, the motif balances bold, sweeping wave forms with fine, thread-like visual texture. What we particularly like about this design is the visual depth created by the layered stitches and dynamic crests, giving the seascape an expressive, heritage character. Produced as a made-to-measure, PVC-free wallpaper with a subtle structure in the paper, it brings a distinctive artistic focal point to any interior.

In the room

Because of its bold visual movement and rich tonal depth, we see this design working especially well as an accent wall in a living room or a dedicated creative studio. The strong diagonal crests naturally draw the eye, so giving the wallpaper a wider, uninterrupted wall allows the full rhythm of the surging waves to unfold without being broken up. In a living room, placing it along the main wall behind a sofa anchors the seating area with dramatic presence. While the motif is expressive, the deep blue palette feels grounded, especially in spaces with generous natural daylight where the subtle variations between the navy and teal undertones become easier to appreciate.

Styling it

To balance the energetic movement of our mural wallpapers, we recommend keeping surrounding furniture silhouettes clean and grounded. Low-profile seating and unadorned surfaces let the graphic textile pattern lead the room without visual competition.

For surrounding materials, dark-stained timber or rich walnut creates a handsome connection with the deep indigo tones, while warm off-white or neutral textured upholstery mirrors the embroidered seafoam crests. Understated brass or blackened metal accents also work well, complementing the Art Nouveau and Japanese heritage influences within the artwork.

Colour combinations

The wallpaper is built on deep ocean blues, dark navy, and soft off-white crests with hints of earthy cream. When choosing colours for adjacent walls, woodwork, and large textiles, we suggest:

• Deep ink or midnight blue on adjacent walls or trim for an enveloping, dramatic atmosphere.
• Warm off-white or soft linen tones on adjoining walls to echo the foaming crests and keep the room balanced.
• Muted taupe or warm neutral accents in upholstery to soften the contrast between the dark waters and pale wave caps.
