Wallpaper - Sino Shapes Blue

Designed by Mary Urban, our Sino Shapes Blue wallpaper brings a classic trellis motif to life with a fresh, painterly character. The design features an intersecting diagonal bamboo-style lattice set against a rich, deep navy blue ground. What we particularly appreciate about this pattern is the watercolour-like wash and soft tonal variation within the white lattice canes, which softens the geometry and gives the repeat an artistic, hand-crafted appearance. Printed as a made-to-measure, PVC-free wall covering, this wallpaper paper has a subtle physical structure that complements both traditional and contemporary interiors.

In the room

The bold contrast between crisp white trellis lines and the dark navy backdrop creates an architectural rhythm that brings structure to a room without feeling rigid. We see this working particularly well across the walls of a dining room, where the geometric lattice establishes an intimate, tailored atmosphere around a dining table. In a living room, it makes a striking feature wall behind a main seating arrangement, giving the space clear focal definition. Because the repeating diamond framework has generous spacing, it handles both open expanses and walls framed by doorways with ease, maintaining its visual poise across different architectural layouts.

Styling it

When styling around Sino Shapes Blue, we like to play up its heritage roots while keeping the overall room feeling modern and comfortable.

• Balance the strong geometric framework with warm wood furniture, such as medium-toned walnut or chestnut, which softens the cool contrast of navy and white.
• Introduce woven or natural cane accents in seating or lighting to subtly echo the bamboo-inspired forms within the pattern.
• Choose understated neutral upholstery in off-white or soft oatmeal to let the bold lattice remain the primary graphic feature in the space.

Colour combinations

The foundation of our design pairs deep navy blue with soft, shaded white tones throughout the lattice structure. When decorating around it, warm off-white or chalky cream on adjacent walls, cornicing, and skirting creates a clean, intentional boundary that highlights the navy ground. If you prefer a richer, more enveloping feel, surrounding cabinetry or woodwork painted in a matching deep navy will integrate the pattern smoothly into the architecture. For subtle warmth, accents in camel, warm amber, or muted ochre provide a pleasing balance against the dominant blue.
