Wallpaper - Echinoderms, Dark Blue

Our Echinoderms, Dark Blue wallpaper brings an artistic take on marine life to your walls, featuring scattered starfish and sand dollars across a deep, dark blue ground. Drawn by RNM Arts with a screenprint-inspired character, the motif uses fine turquoise linework and delicate dotting to define the five textured arms of each starfish and the distinctive star-like centres of the sand dollars. The contrast between the crisp sea green details and the dark backdrop creates a calm, floating rhythm across the wall. Made to measure on our PVC-free paper with a subtle paper structure, our wallpapers are straightforward to hang in any home.

In the room

We see this wallpaper working especially well in a bathroom, where the oceanic motif feels completely natural. The dark blue background creates an enveloping backdrop, while the open spacing of the sea creatures keeps the overall impression light and clear. In a compact powder room or downstairs cloakroom, running the pattern across all four walls creates a cohesive, considered atmosphere.

For a larger bathroom or a holiday home bedroom, we would give the design an uninterrupted feature wall behind a vanity or bedhead. The repeating rhythm of starfish and sand dollars has plenty of room to breathe on wider surfaces, where the turquoise accents can catch the eye without overwhelming the rest of the interior.

Styling it

The graphic linework and bold contrast of this design allow for versatile interior pairings, particularly in contemporary or coastal-inspired spaces.

We like pairing the deep blue ground with crisp white sanitaryware and clean architectural lines to let the pattern stand out as the primary visual focus. Natural timber elements, such as a light oak vanity unit or warm wooden shelving, balance the cool tones of the sea green linework and bring an organic warmth to the space. For hardware and metal fixtures, brushed brass or matte black fittings complement the graphic precision of the motif without competing with its details.

Colour combinations

The design itself is built around deep blue, light turquoise, and soft sea green tones with subtle earthy undertones in the drawing.

When choosing surrounding paint colours for adjacent walls, ceilings, or woodwork, we recommend crisp off-whites or soft chalky neutrals to maintain clean contrast. If you prefer a richer, more unified palette, a deep navy or slate blue on the skirting boards and door frames helps anchor the space and extends the depth of the wallpaper's background. Muted sage or dusty seafoam shades on towels or accent furniture also pick up on the delicate linework beautifully.
