Wallpaper - Big Blue

Our Big Blue wallpaper, created by artist Jeanette Vertentes, brings an expressive and painterly energy to the wall. At the centre of the composition, a large lobster comes to life in vivid cobalt blue, animated by lively brushstrokes with highlights of purple, pink, yellow, and crisp white across its shell. Outstretched antennae and large claws create a strong sense of movement, while the soft beige background lets the vivid maritime subject stand out with clarity. Made to measure on our PVC-free paper with a subtle surface structure, this design brings an artistic, gallery-like focal point to any interior.

In the room

Because the lobster motif forms a large, self-contained visual statement, we especially like giving this mural wallpaper a prominent, uninterrupted wall where its full form can unfold. It makes an engaging centrepiece in a dining room, placed directly behind a dining table where dinner guests can appreciate the painted details and brushwork. In an open-plan kitchen or breakfast area, it adds an energetic pop of colour that immediately draws the eye across the space. The soft beige backdrop provides enough negative space that the artwork feels dynamic rather than overwhelming, making it an excellent choice for an accent wall.

Styling it

To balance the bold presence and vibrant colours of the artwork, we suggest pairing it with clean-lined furniture and warm, grounded materials. Mid-century or contemporary dining chairs in warm wood or painted neutral tones keep the focus on the wall without competing for attention. If you want to lean into an eclectic feel, you might pick up on the smaller accent touches in the painting with subtle tableware or ceramic pieces in warm yellow or soft pink. Keep the surrounding flooring and larger furnishings relatively calm so the expressive painting remains the clear hero of the room.

Colour combinations

The design centres on rich cobalt blue, set against a quiet, neutral beige background with energetic flecks of purple, soft pink, yellow, and white. Around the wallpaper, warm off-white, light cream, or pale sandy beige paint on adjacent walls and woodwork will seamlessly echo the background tone and keep the room bright. For a bolder look, you can introduce accents in deep navy, warm mustard, or terracotta through cushions, ceramics, or upholstered seating to harmonize with the energetic highlights across the lobster's shell.
