Wallpaper - In the Ocean III

Our In the Ocean III wallpaper mural, created by Courtney Prahl, brings together a playful collage motif set against a soft, lined parchment-style backdrop with delicate handwritten script. The central fish silhouette is built from layered paper cut-outs, combining sheet music, patterned swatches, printed typography, and vivid patchwork fragments in fresh shades of green, lime, turquoise, and deep ocean teal. The balance of graphic shapes and subtle, vintage-inspired background script gives the design an artistic and whimsical character. Produced to your exact measurements on PVC-free paper with a subtle surface structure, our wall murals are straightforward to hang and make an inviting focal point in any interior.

In the room

We love how this mural wallpaper acts as a distinctive feature wall without feeling visually overwhelming. Because the fish silhouette is positioned centrally against an open, softly textured off-white background, it benefits from a wall that allows the full horizontal form to be appreciated. In a kitchen, dining space, or open living area, positioning this design along a prominent wall creates an immediate visual anchor. It works especially well on a feature wall where low cabinets, a dining table, or an island counter leave the upper and mid-level surface clear to showcase the collage details and fine script.

Styling it

The artistic, mixed-media feel of this design pairs naturally with eclectic, contemporary, or modern cottage interiors. We recommend balancing the lively patchwork of greens and blues with clean, grounded elements:

• Pair with light or medium natural wood tones, such as ash or birch, which echo the warmth of the cream backdrop.
• Keep larger surrounding cabinetry and furniture in matte neutrals or soft chalky whites so the central motif remains the primary focal point.
• Introduce small accent pieces in sage green or deep teal through table ceramics or dining chairs to subtly reflect the collage fragments.

Colour combinations

The design itself centers around a rich spectrum of greens, ranging from pale chartreuse and vivid lime to cool turquoise, aqua, and deep forest green, all resting on a gentle cream and off-white background with light grey script. When choosing paint for adjacent walls and woodwork, warm off-whites, pale linen tones, or muted stone shades complement the background beautifully. For a more graphic and defined look, picking out a deeper muted green or soft sea-glass blue on surrounding trim or cabinetry ties the whole scheme together effortlessly.
