Wallpaper - In The Curl I

Our In The Curl I wallpaper captures the dynamic, sweeping curve of an ocean wave in a fluid, expressive watercolour style by artist Chris Paschke. Rendered in a cool spectrum of aquamarine, deep sea blue, and frothy white highlights, the composition balances soft washes of colour with textured, painted splatters that suggest moving spray. What we particularly like about this design is how its sweeping motion brings an artistic energy to the wall without overwhelming the room. Made-to-measure on PVC-free paper with a subtle surface structure, our wallpapers are straightforward to hang and make an impressive statement in any space.

In the room

Because the composition depicts a single, expressive wave cresting across the scene, we see this wall mural working especially well on a wide, uninterrupted feature wall. It feels right at home in a tranquil bathroom setting, creating a serene, spa-like atmosphere behind a freestanding bath or across a main vanity wall. It also suits a dedicated meditation room or a calming bedroom wall where the sweeping blue tones can set a relaxed, dreamy backdrop. In larger rooms, placing this mural wallpaper where it can be viewed from a slight distance allows the full arch of the wave and the delicate spray details to be appreciated in their entirety.

Styling it

To let the artwork remain the focal point, we recommend keeping surrounding furniture and fixtures clean and understated. In a bathroom or meditation space, pair this mural with light, natural materials like pale stone tiles, brushed chrome or matte white brassware, and light-toned timber elements. Keeping larger furniture relatively low ensures that the dramatic curl and crest of the wave remain fully visible across the wall.

Colour combinations

The wallpaper palette centres on cool aquamarine, cobalt, deep ocean blue, and soft white foam. When decorating around it, crisp pure whites and soft chalky off-whites echo the cresting spray and keep the room bright. For a deeper, more atmospheric look, bringing in accents of navy, deep slate, or muted blue-grey on surrounding walls or vanity units complements the oceanic tones naturally.
