Wallpaper - Naval

Our Naval wallpaper, created by Mercedes Lopez Charro, features layered vertical brush strokes across an abstract composition in shades of blue, white, grey, and black. We particularly like the balance between broad, flowing swathes and narrower paint marks, where semi-translucent passages create a sense of depth and gentle vertical rhythm. The cool-toned palette gives the artwork a serene, contemporary character with an oil-painted look. Made to measure to your exact wall dimensions, our wallpapers are PVC-free and printed on paper with a subtle surface structure.

In the room

Because of the pronounced vertical movement in the brushwork, we find this mural wallpaper works especially well on an uninterrupted wall in a living room or behind a bed in a bedroom. The vertical flow draws the eye upward, making it a natural choice for rooms with standard or higher ceilings. In a home office or study, the cooler blue and grey tones provide a composed backdrop that sits comfortably behind a desk or shelving without dominating the space. We also see this design working beautifully along a hallway, entryway, or dining room, where the continuous strokes can unfold across a wider expanse.

Styling it

The fluid lines and painterly character of this design pair naturally with contemporary and Scandinavian-inspired interiors. Because the pattern carries expressive movement, we suggest keeping surrounding furniture relatively calm and clean-lined.

• Choose low-profile furniture in pale woods, charcoal, or crisp black to echo the darker accents in the artwork without competing with its flow.
• Balance the cool blue and slate tones with natural woven textiles, such as a plain wool rug or unbleached cotton curtains, to add warmth and softness.
• Keep wall decor minimal on adjacent walls, allowing the broad abstract strokes to serve as the main visual anchor of the room.

Colour combinations

The design is built on a cool palette of deep and mid-tone blues, soft greys, pure white, and grounding black. To complement these shades, we recommend pairing the mural with adjacent walls painted in soft off-white, light cool grey, or chalky slate. For a richer, more enveloping feel, dark navy or midnight blue on adjacent surfaces creates a striking tonal transition. If you want to introduce an accent, subtle touches of muted taupe, warm beige, or brushed silver provide an elegant contrast to the cold-toned base.
