Wallpaper - Sharks of the World Chart

Our Sharks of the World Chart wallpaper brings fifteen distinct shark species together in a playful, illustrated educational layout designed by Carrie Cantwell. Each species, from the recognisable hammerhead and great white to the wide whale shark, is clearly labelled and rendered in vivid shades of blue, grey, orange, and brown. Flowing blue wave lines ripple between the animals, balancing the structured chart composition with gentle organic movement across a crisp white backdrop. Made to measure on our PVC-free paper with a subtle physical surface structure, this design offers an engaging, graphic focal point that is simple to hang and full of character.

In the room

We love this design as a feature wall in a children's bedroom, playroom, nursery, or family study. Because the individual shark illustrations and names invite close viewing, we suggest placing it on a main wall where little explorers can walk right up to inspect each creature. The repeat works comfortably on a wide, relatively uninterrupted wall behind a bed, cot, or low toy storage, keeping the lower swimming species visible while letting the full variety of marine life unfold across the height of the room. In a compact nursery or study nook, the clean white ground keeps the space feeling bright and uncluttered even with the lively mix of colourful figures.

Styling it

To balance the illustrative detail and graphic labels, we recommend keeping surrounding furniture simple with clean lines and understated finishes. Natural light woods or painted white furniture let the vibrant sea creatures remain the primary story in the space. You can echo the oceanic theme subtly through solid textiles in denim blue, soft navy, or warm sandy tones, avoiding competing busy patterns on bedding or rugs so the wall chart holds its distinct identity.

Colour combinations

The design centres on a crisp white background punctuated by bright oceanic blues, deep greys, warm ochre-oranges, and earthy browns. When choosing colours for surrounding walls and woodwork, soft coastal blues, chalky warm whites, or gentle pebble greys create a seamless, balanced transition. For an accent cushion, reading chair, or storage bin, drawing on the burnt orange and warm brown tones from the sharks adds a pleasing touch of warmth without overwhelming the room.
