Wallpaper - Maritime Frequencies Red and Blue

Designed by Daphne Brissonnet, our Maritime Frequencies Red and Blue wallpaper brings a vibrant graphic rhythm to the wall with alternating horizontal bands of hand-painted mosaic squares and vertical barcode-like stripes. Crisp cobalt, sky blue, turquoise, and coral red tiles sit against a rich terracotta background, bordered by subtle white outlines that give the geometric repeat a relaxed, painterly character. The design offers an energising nod to 1970s retro style while feeling completely fresh. Our made-to-measure wallpapers are PVC-free and printed on paper with a subtle physical structure, making them straightforward to hang in any interior.

In the room

The lively horizontal arrangement makes this design a striking choice for spaces where you want to introduce movement and visual structure. In a kitchen, we love using it along a feature wall near a dining nook or breakfast bar, where the rhythmic pattern adds colour and conversational character without overwhelming the room. It also works beautifully in a downstairs bathroom or powder room, where the geometric tile aesthetic wraps the space in playful energy across multiple walls. Because the repeat combines dense blocks of colour with clean linear breaks, it holds its detail well even in compact rooms with doors and lower ceilings.

Styling it

To let the graphic personality of this wallpaper lead the room, we suggest balancing it with clean-lined furniture and simple surfaces. Mid-century modern sideboards, retro shelving units, or streamlined contemporary dining tables work especially well alongside the 1970s revival motif.

• Combine with warm timber tones such as teak, mid-tone oak, or rich walnut to ground the bright coral and blue palette.
• Introduce crisp white or matte ceramic accents to echo the light outlines around each painted square and stripe.
• Keep surrounding accessories unfussy, choosing solid, unpatterned fabrics so the horizontal lines on the wall remain the focal point.

Colour combinations

The pattern features a bold interplay of cobalt blue, cyan, soft teal, and coral pink set over an earthy terracotta base. For neighbouring walls or painted woodwork, a warm off-white or soft linen creates a clean backdrop that lets the blues pop. If you prefer a richer, more enveloping colour scheme, pulling out a deep maritime blue for trim, cabinetry, or an adjacent accent wall ties directly into the darker mosaic tiles, while muted clay or terracotta paint will seamlessly extend the warm background tone throughout the room.
