Wallpaper - Seafood Shanty Blue I

Our Seafood Shanty Blue I wallpaper, designed by Anne Tavoletti, brings a fresh interpretation to classic nautical trellis patterns. The design forms an interlocking diagonal grid rendered with a watercolour-like technique, where rhythmic brushstrokes create the appearance of twisted rope. Varied shades of cobalt, ocean blue, and navy stand out crisp against a clean white background, giving the geometric repeat an artistic, fluid character. Like all our wall murals, it is made-to-measure on PVC-free paper with a subtle surface structure, making it straightforward to hang while adding tailored maritime charm to your interior.

In the room

The open geometric lattice gives this design an airy and energising presence that works exceptionally well across different spaces. In a bathroom, the crisp blue and white palette naturally complements polished fixtures and ceramic tiles, introducing an uplifting coastal feel. The bold scale of the repeat also makes it a striking choice for an entryway, hallway, or garden room, where the clear diagonal rhythm creates visual interest without overcrowding the wall.

Because the diagonal lines carry significant graphic movement, we especially like giving this pattern a wide, continuous wall behind a console table or bathroom vanity. In smaller spaces, wrapping multiple walls can create a light, cohesive look, as the white ground keeps the room feeling open while the blue brush marks add lively detail.

Styling it

We suggest pairing this wallpaper with clean, relaxed interior elements that let its nautical character lead the room.

• Combine with painted white joinery, natural light timber accents, or simple woven wicker to enhance the fresh seaside aesthetic without adding visual weight.
• Introduce crisp white linens, simple striped soft furnishings, or polished chrome hardware to complement the maritime theme with understated clarity.
• Keep surrounding artwork minimal, allowing the rhythmic watercolour trellis to act as the primary graphic feature in the space.

Colour combinations

The motif centres on vibrant cobalt and navy tones layered over softer ocean blues, set against a bright, off-white base.

To create a crisp, cohesive scheme, we recommend pairing the wallpaper with clean, brilliant white or soft chalk paint on neighbouring walls, ceilings, and skirting boards. For a richer, more tailored look, deep navy or slate blue paint on surrounding cabinetry or doors will pick up the darker brushstrokes within the pattern. If you want to introduce warmth, muted sandy neutrals and natural biscuit tones in flooring or accessories balance the coolness of the blues beautifully.
