Wallpaper - Catch a Wave

Our Catch a Wave wallpaper captures the sweeping movement and fluid energy of an ocean swell through an expressive, painted seascape style. Created in collaboration with Wild Apple, the design features broad, curved brushstrokes and subtle paint splatters that form a cresting wave in shades of aquamarine, deep sea blue, crisp white, and pale sky blue. The composition focuses entirely on the dynamic curve of the water, bringing a fresh, coastal atmosphere to interior spaces. Like all Wallism wallpapers, this design is made-to-measure according to your specific wall dimensions and printed on PVC-free paper with a subtle surface structure.

In the room

Because the motif relies on a large, sweeping arc, we think this design works best on a wider, relatively uninterrupted wall where the full curve of the wave can be seen from end to end. It makes a striking focal point in a modern bathroom, a calm meditation room, or a relaxed holiday home living space. In rooms with lower ceilings, the upward visual lift of the cresting wave helps draw the eye upwards, creating a sense of openness. If you are placing furniture along the wall, lower profiles such as a low sideboard or simple bench seating allow the dynamic lower curve of the water to remain visible.

Styling it

We recommend pairing this wall mural with clean-lined, contemporary furniture and organic modern accents that balance its fluid movement.

• Choose pale or bleached wood tones such as ash or light oak to echo a breezy, coastal aesthetic without overwhelming the palette.
• Keep surrounding textiles simple and textured, using unbleached cottons or soft woven fabrics in neutral off-white tones.
• Incorporate subtle matte ceramic or stone accessories that ground the airy blue tones of the artwork.

Colour combinations

The artwork centres on a cool, aquatic palette dominated by aquamarine blue, deep cobalt, soft sky blue, and frothy white highlights. To complement the wallpaper on adjacent walls and woodwork, we suggest soft chalky whites, gentle sand tones, or muted sea-glass greens. Deep navy accents on cushions or small decor pieces can also pick up the darker blue tones inside the barrel of the wave, adding depth to the room.
