Wallpaper - Seafood Shanty Baby Blue I

Created by Anne Tavoletti, our Seafood Shanty Baby Blue I wallpaper interprets classic maritime ropework into a clean geometric trellis pattern. Thick, woven ropes in soft off-white criss-cross over a clear sky blue ground, forming neat diagonal diamonds with a screenprint-inspired character. What we particularly like is how the individual strands of rope are defined with loose, textured marks, giving the geometric repeat an approachable, crafted feel rather than a rigid graphic line. Made to measure on PVC-free paper with a subtle surface structure, it brings a fresh coastal rhythm to the wall.

In the room

We see this design working beautifully in bright, practical spaces such as an entryway, mudroom or kitchen. The open diagonal grid provides a lively structure that keeps smaller transitional rooms feeling airy and organised. In a home study, summer house or garden room, the pattern can easily wrap across all four walls without feeling overwhelming, thanks to the two-tone palette and generous spacing between the diagonal bands. It also sits comfortably behind lower joinery, peg rails or tongue-and-groove panelling, where the diamond repeat can emerge cleanly above painted woodwork.

Styling it

The nautical heritage of the trellis lends itself naturally to coastal, classic and relaxed cottage interiors. We would balance the crisp geometric lines with warm painted cabinetry, unpainted timber surfaces or simple woven baskets.

• Pair with crisp off-white or soft dove-grey painted woodwork to echo the lighter tones within the rope motif.
• Introduce natural textures such as woven rush seating, rattan or jute to complement the nautical theme without over-complicating the look.
• In entryways and mudrooms, combine with simple antique brass or brushed metal hooks that pick up on classic maritime hardware.

Colour combinations

The palette in our design relies on a clear sky blue background balanced by creamy off-white rope details. Around the room, we would lean into clean, airy neutrals such as chalky whites, pale stone and soft warm greys on surrounding doors, skirtings and architraves. For a slightly bolder contrast in a kitchen or study, deeper navy accents or dark indigo cabinetry help anchor the sky blue ground and give the pattern a sharper, more defined presence.
