Wallpaper - In The Blue

Our In The Blue wallpaper, created by Chris Paschke, brings the expressive motion of a crashing ocean wave directly into the interior. Painted in fluid watercolour and gouache-like layers, the motif captures the dynamic crest of rolling surf with sweeping indigo, cobalt, and sea-blue brushstrokes set against a soft, misty sky. Thick white crests and delicate water sprays create a striking sense of depth and movement across the wall. Printed made-to-measure on our PVC-free paper with a subtle surface structure, this design brings an artistic, coastal presence to any living space.

In the room

Because the cresting wave has such a strong, sweeping focal point, we see this working particularly well as a feature wall in a calm bedroom, a serene bathroom, or a dedicated meditation room. Placing the mural wallpaper on the main wall behind a bedhead or opposite an entryway gives the composition room to unfold without feeling crowded. In larger open spaces or holiday homes, an uninterrupted wall allows the full crest and the lighter upper sky to balance each other naturally.

Styling it

To let the expressive brushwork and deep oceanic tones take centre stage, we would pair this wallpaper with quiet, organic modern furniture. Low-profile silhouettes in whitewashed timber, natural ash, or matte black metal echo the coastal elements without competing with the dynamic wave. For soft furnishings, textured linen throws, undyed bouclé, or smooth woven textiles in crisp off-white and soft grey complement the foaming water and keep the room grounded.

Colour combinations

The design centres on a spectrum of ocean blues, from deep midnight and indigo at the base of the wave to airy cerulean and translucent sky washes, contrasted with bright white foam. Around this mural, we suggest styling with soft chalk white, muted dove grey, or deep navy on adjacent walls and woodwork. Subtle accents of sand, driftwood beige, or sea-salt tones help balance the cooler blue palette and tie the entire interior together.
