Wallpaper - Narwhal Swim

Our Narwhal Swim wallpaper brings a gentle underwater story to the wall through soft watercolour-like narwhals, delicate coral branches, and small shoals of swimming fish. Painted in muted oceanic tones of teal, soft grey-blue, and sea-green against a crisp white backdrop, the repeating composition has an airy, fluid rhythm that feels both tranquil and playful. The varied scale of the swimming narwhals alongside the finer branching coral structures creates visual balance without overwhelming a room. Like all our wallpapers, this design is made-to-measure and PVC-free, with a subtle structure in the paper that gives the finished wall a refined, grounded feel.

In the room

We designed this motif with children's spaces and family rooms in mind, where a calming marine atmosphere can transform the character of the space. In a nursery, toddler room, or children's bedroom, the design works beautifully across a single feature wall behind a cot or bed, giving the room a clear focal point while keeping the overall impression light. Because the white background leaves plenty of open space between the illustrated sea life, it can also wrap easily around all four walls in a dedicated playroom or compact bathroom without feeling heavy or crowded.

Styling it

To complement the gentle aquatic feel of the wallpaper, we suggest pairing it with clean, simple furniture and natural textures that do not compete with the underwater illustrations.

• Choose pale, natural timbers such as light ash, birch, or untreated pine for cots, shelving, and low toy storage to ground the oceanic blues.
• Introduce soft, plain textiles in chalky off-white, pale seafoam, or warm cream for curtains and bedding rather than heavy secondary patterns.
• Keep wall-hung shelving open and lightly arranged so the branching coral forms and swimming narwhals remain visible behind everyday decorative pieces.

Colour combinations

The wallpaper itself is defined by a palette of soft teal, muted grey-blue, sea-green, and clean white. When painting adjoining walls, woodwork, or built-in storage, we recommend sticking to soft, understated tones that let the motif lead. A crisp chalk white or soft warm off-white keeps the whole room feeling bright and fresh. If you want a little more depth on surrounding surfaces, a muted pale aqua or dusty sea-mist blue on skirtings and architraves pulls the oceanic detail out into the rest of the interior seamlessly.
