Wallpaper - Under Water

Our Under Water wallpaper, designed by Beth Grove, brings together coastal treasures in a painterly watercolour style. The composition centres around natural driftwood branches intertwined with blue and neutral starfish, soft fan coral, sea grasses and a delicate conch shell. Rendered in earthy browns, slate blues, soft turquoise and pale sand against an off-white ground, the design balances detailed sea life with quiet open space. Like all Wallism wallpapers, this mural is made-to-measure to your exact wall dimensions on PVC-free paper with a subtle paper texture.

In the room

We see this design working particularly well as an accent wall in a bathroom, guest cloakroom or coastal-inspired bedroom. Because the motif anchors firmly in the lower and central portions of the wall with lighter coral silhouettes reaching upward, it gives the room a sense of height without feeling overcrowded. In a bathroom, placing the wallpaper behind a vanity or freestanding bathtub allows the marine details to take centre stage. It also sits comfortably in a tranquil holiday home living space where the gentle maritime theme adds character without dominating the entire interior.

Styling it

To complement the organic, weathered feel of the artwork, we would pair this wall mural with unpolished, tactile finishes:

• Combine with weathered driftwood tones, light oak or painted white tongue-and-groove panelling to echo the natural coastal aesthetic.
• Opt for soft, washed linen curtains and unbleached cotton throws that mirror the off-white and sandy base tones of the wallpaper.
• Introduce brushed nickel or muted matte ceramic accents to keep surrounding fixtures understated and calm.

Colour combinations

The wallpaper features a balanced palette of slate blue, soft seafoam, earthy driftwood browns, warm sand and pale off-white. When choosing colours for surrounding walls, woodwork or cabinetry, we recommend pulling directly from these tones. A muted slate blue or dusty coastal grey on adjacent walls creates an enveloping, cohesive atmosphere. For a lighter, fresher space, a soft chalky white or pale warm grey on the surrounding surfaces lets the artwork remain the clear focal point while tying seamlessly into the background.
