Wallpaper - The Octopus Beast II

In our Octopus Beast II wallpaper, a colossal red sea creature rises through stormy dark blue waters, wrapping bold tentacles around a classic sailing ship amidst flashes of lightning and textured grey clouds. Created with Wai Collective, the illustration pairs vivid maritime storytelling with the expressive visual character of a watercolour and ink painting. The high visual contrast between the deep scarlet octopus, the churning navy sea, and the stormy sky gives this mural wallpaper an adventurous, narrative presence on a focal wall. Made to measure according to your wall dimensions, this PVC-free wallpaper features a subtle paper structure that complements the dynamic, painterly strokes.

In the room

Because this is a large-scale, dramatic scene with strong narrative movement, we see it working particularly well as an accent wall in a living room, home office, or dedicated library. Giving our wall mural a wide, relatively uninterrupted wall area ensures that the full composition, from the rising tentacles to the stormy sky, remains clearly visible and easy to read. In a teenager's bedroom, den, or creative hobby room, the rich sea battle motif brings character and depth without overwhelming the surrounding space when balanced against neutral adjoining walls.

Styling it

We recommend pairing this wallpaper with rich, grounded interior elements that reflect its maritime atmosphere:

• Choose dark or warm wooden furniture, such as stained oak, walnut, or vintage timber, to echo the wooden sailing ship in the artwork.
• Introduce understated upholstery in charcoal, navy, or textured neutral fabrics so the graphic detail of the wall mural takes centre stage.
• Incorporate subtle brass or blackened metal accents across lighting and hardware to complement the dramatic stormy palette.
• Keep surrounding accessories curated and sculptural, leaning into an eclectic, maximalist, or moody study aesthetic.

Colour combinations

Our design is anchored by intense dark red and crimson tones set against deep navy blue, ocean teal, and moody storm greys. When painting adjacent walls or selecting room trim, we suggest pulling directly from these deeper shades with soft slate greys, inky blues, or warm muted charcoals. For a brighter contrast that still feels connected to the artwork, crisp off-white or soft stone colours work well to highlight the cresting white waves and lightning detail.
