Wallpaper - Whale Swim

Our Whale Swim wallpaper brings a lively ocean rhythm to the wall with illustrated orcas and whales drifting through water. Created by Kris Art, the design has a soft watercolour-like character, blending deep denim and indigo blues with warm peach accents on a crisp white ground. Tiny schooling fish and rising bubbles scatter between the larger sea creatures, giving the repeating composition an open, floating movement. It offers a gentle, whimsical balance between bold marine shapes and delicate painterly washes. Like all our wall murals, it is made-to-measure on PVC-free paper with a subtle surface structure.

In the room

We see this design working beautifully in a nursery, toddler room, or children's bedroom where the swimming whales bring personality without overwhelming the space. Because the white background keeps the overall motif airy, the pattern works nicely on a dedicated feature wall behind a cot or bed, as well as wrapped around smaller corners in a playroom. In a family bathroom, the aquatic theme feels right at home alongside bright tilework and porcelain, adding charm and movement to plain wall areas.

Styling it

To keep the focus on the marine illustrations, we would pair this wallpaper with light, unpretentious furniture and simple materials. Natural light wood finishes, such as birch or pale ash, balance the cool denim blues nicely, while clean white painted surfaces let the whale silhouettes stand out. Soft woven textiles in neutral creams or washed denim tones help tie the room together without competing with the dynamic shapes on the wall.

Colour combinations

The wallpaper is built around a classic marine palette of denim blue, navy, soft peach, and bright white. For surrounding walls and woodwork, a clean warm white or very pale grey provides a seamless extension of the background. If you prefer more colour, muted navy or deep slate on adjacent doors or lower panelling anchors the lighter tones, while subtle peach and sandy beige accents echo the warm bellies of the illustrated whales.
