Wallpaper - Swimmers, Stone

Our Swimmers, Stone wallpaper brings a gentle, illustrated scene of stylized swimmers and divers gliding across calm water to life. Created by designer Irina Chikati, the artwork pairs graphic ink-drawn figures in quiet beige and warm brown swimsuits with floating brown lily pads and delicate white water flowers. Soft white ripples trace the movement across a smoke grey stone-toned background, creating an airy and balanced composition. Like all of our wallpapers, this design is made-to-measure to your exact wall dimensions on PVC-free paper with a subtle surface structure.

In the room

We particularly like this design in spaces meant for rest and unwinding, such as a master bedroom, a calm living room, or a powder room. The fluid, open arrangement of the swimmers gives the pattern plenty of breathing space, which means it works well across a larger feature wall behind a bed or sofa without feeling visually crowded. Because the contrast between the white water ripples and the smoke grey background is soft, you can also wrap this wallpaper around multiple walls in a compact bathroom or dressing space to create a peaceful, enveloping feel.

Styling it

The Scandinavian graphic character of the illustration pairs naturally with clean lines and understated materials. We would style this design alongside light natural wood furniture, such as pale ash or bleached oak, which echoes the warm beige and brown tones in the swimsuits. For surrounding textiles, plain woven linens or light wool in neutral off-white shades let the gentle movement of the wall murals remain the focal point. Keeping decorative objects minimal with simple matte ceramics helps maintain the tranquil, uncluttered atmosphere of the motif.

Colour combinations

The palette is grounded in a smoke grey base complemented by soft white line work and earthy beige and brown accents. To complement these mural wallpapers, we suggest pairing adjacent walls and painted woodwork with soft chalky whites, pale pebble greys, or muted stone shades that match the background tone. If you want to introduce deeper contrast in larger furniture pieces or architectural trim, a rich walnut brown or a deep charcoal will subtly pick up on the darker ink details of the figures.
