Wallpaper - Blowing Bubbles

Our Blowing Bubbles wallpaper captures a sea turtle gliding upwards through clear blue-green ocean waters, caught just as it releases a small stream of bubbles towards the sunlit surface. The composition balances deep teal and marine blue water with the earthy brown and patterned shell of the turtle, showing the natural detail of its flippers and head as light filters down from above. Photography by Max Blakesberg Studios brings an authentic, tranquil underwater presence to the wall, making it a compelling focal point in a bedroom or living area. As with all our wallpapers, this design is made-to-measure to your exact wall dimensions and printed on PVC-free paper with a subtle paper structure.

In the room

Because of the strong upward angle and focused perspective, we find this wall mural works exceptionally well on an accent wall where the motif can be viewed with some breathing room. In a bedroom, placing the design behind a low headboard allows the turtle and shimmering water line to remain fully visible above the bed. In a living room or playroom, giving the mural a continuous, open wall lets the deep aquatic blues set a calm visual foundation for the rest of the space. The darker tones in the lower half of the composition anchor the lower portion of the wall, while the brighter water surface creates a lighter feel towards the ceiling.

Styling it

When styling a room around this design, we suggest leaning into simple silhouettes and natural textures that do not compete with the photographic detail. Low-profile furniture in warm woods or painted off-white finishes lets the marine composition take centre stage without overwhelming the room. Natural woven textiles, such as a flatweave rug or unbleached cotton cushions, complement the organic feel of the underwater scene while keeping the surrounding space light and balanced.

Colour combinations

The wallpaper is defined by a palette of deep teal, aqua, and deep ocean blue, contrasted by the warm amber, sandy brown, and ivory tones found on the turtle's shell. For surrounding walls and woodwork, soft sandy neutrals, warm off-whites, or muted biscuit tones echo the warm details in the motif. If you prefer a moodier, more enveloping scheme, colour-matching adjacent walls to a deep teal or slate blue creates an immersive look across the entire room.
