Wallpaper - Seafood Shanty Blue III

Designed by Anne Tavoletti, our Seafood Shanty Blue III wallpaper brings a structured, graphic presence to the wall through repeating right-angled triangles layered over subtle horizontal and vertical stripes. Rendered in monochromatic shades of deep cobalt and denim blue, the composition is defined by fine dark ink outlines that give each geometric block an illustrative, considered rhythm. The balance of tone-on-tone blues keeps the repeat visually balanced rather than overwhelming, allowing the structured pattern to ground a room. Produced made-to-measure on PVC-free material, the paper features a subtle surface structure that complements the crisp geometry.

In the room

We find this geometric design works remarkably well in areas that benefit from structured visual interest without high colour contrast. In a home office or study, the orderly repetition creates an architectural backdrop behind a desk or shelving, offering visual depth while keeping the space feeling collected and calm. The vertical alignment of the triangular segments also lends itself naturally to a hallway or staircase wall, where the repeating lines guide the eye upward and bring cohesion to transition spaces. Because the palette is entirely blue-on-blue, you can easily use it across multiple walls in a compact study, or introduce it as a focal wall in a larger workspace.

Styling it

The clean geometry and retro-leaning ink work pair naturally with interiors that balance modern shapes with understated warmth. We would style this design alongside mid-century silhouettes or contemporary furniture with clean profiles.

• Warm wood furniture, such as mid-tone walnut or teak, provides a rich, grounded contrast against the deep denim blues.
• Black metal accents, found in slim task lamps, desk frames, or simple picture rails, echo the fine ink outlines of the pattern.
• Solid, tactile upholstery in muted oatmeal or slate grey lets the geometric motif remain the focal point without competing patterns.

Colour combinations

The wallpaper is built on a rich monochromatic palette of deep navy, cobalt, and denim blue, anchored by black ink linework. To create a cohesive interior, we suggest pairing it with clean off-whites or soft stone greys on adjacent painted walls and woodwork, which keep the blue tones crisp and defined. If you prefer a moodier, enveloping atmosphere, deep slate or charcoal trim creates a seamless, tailored transition. For smaller accents, muted ochre, tan leather, or brushed brass provide a natural warm complement to the cool blue backdrop.
