Wallpaper - Nautical Life VIII

Designed by Lisa Audit, our Nautical Life VIII wallpaper brings together a striking red lobster and a blue crab surrounded by delicate sea plants, shells, and starfish. Set against a soft, weathered pale striped backdrop, the composition balances bold marine crustacean forms with gentle watercolour-like details and painterly flecks. We especially like the visual contrast between the vivid coral-red tones and cool ocean blues, giving the motif an artistic, coastal character without feeling cluttered. Printed to your dimensions, our PVC-free wallpapers feature a subtle paper structure that gives each mural a refined finish on the wall.

In the room

In a kitchen or dining room, this design creates an engaging focal point that immediately establishes a maritime narrative. We see it working particularly well on a main feature wall behind a dining table or along a dining nook, where the generous scale of the lobster and crab can be appreciated in full.

Because the background remains light and airy, our mural wallpapers also sit comfortably in smaller spaces, such as a downstairs cloakroom or a holiday cottage bathroom, bringing character without overpowering the area. If you are decorating a holiday home or coastal retreat, positioning the motif on an open wall allows the fluid underwater movement and marine details to set the tone for the entire room.

Styling it

To complement the coastal heritage look of the design, we suggest pairing it with clean, classic furnishings. A natural timber dining table in light or weathered wood brings out the rustic texture of the striped backdrop, while simple shaker-style cabinetry works wonderfully in a kitchen setting.

For surrounding accents, crisp white ceramics and subtle marine elements keep the space fresh and balanced. Because the lobster provides a strong pop of colour, keeping large furniture pieces in calm off-whites or soft greys allows the wall murals to remain the primary visual statement.

Colour combinations

The design is anchored by the interplay of rich coral reds and soft navy to dusty denim blues, balanced over a backdrop of off-white and gentle grey stripes.

When choosing colours for surrounding walls, woodwork, or cabinetry, pulling out the pale nautical blue creates a cohesive, serene backdrop. Alternatively, pairing the wallpaper with warm off-white or soft cream paintwork keeps the room bright and allows the vibrant red shell of the lobster to stand out with crisp definition.
