Wallpaper - Ocean Magic Swim

Our Ocean Magic Swim wallpaper, designed by Carrie Cantwell, brings a playful underwater story to life across a crisp white backdrop. Three rounded blue fish with dark accent fins swim in varied directions around a large mint green mermaid tail, decorated with gentle scale patterns and wavy lines. Scattered blue water droplets introduce a light sense of movement across the open composition. The soft pastel palette and watercolour-inspired character give the pattern a cheerful yet composed presence on the wall. Produced made-to-measure on our PVC-free paper with a subtle paper texture, it provides an easy-to-hang solution that adds imaginative charm to children's spaces.

In the room

We see this design working naturally in a nursery, toddler room, or children's playroom where the open white spacing keeps the atmosphere bright and uncluttered. Because the motif is spaced comfortably across a clear background rather than tightly packed, it works just as well across multiple walls as it does on a dedicated feature wall behind a cot or low reading nook. The gentle pastel tones and rounded illustrated figures also make it an appealing choice for a family bathroom, bringing an aquatic motif without visually overpowering smaller wall sections.

Styling it

To keep the lighthearted feel of the wallpaper, we would pair it with furniture that shares its clean lines and soft shapes. Light natural timber or simple painted white furniture works especially well to maintain the airy balance of the white background. For surrounding textiles, soft cottons or light linens in pastel blue, mint, or natural undyed fibres help extend the gentle aquatic theme into the rest of the space without creating visual clutter.

Colour combinations

The design features cornflower blue, pastel blue, and mint green set against a clean white background. For surrounding walls or woodwork, a soft off-white or chalky white keeps the room feeling expansive and lets the illustrated elements stand out. If you prefer to introduce more depth, carrying a muted cornflower blue onto low panelling or selecting soft seafoam and mint accents in soft furnishings will naturally echo the mermaid tail and swimming fish.
