Wallpaper - Seafood Shanty Red II

Created by Anne Tavoletti, our Seafood Shanty Red II wallpaper brings a bold geometric rhythm to the wall through interlocking shapes, bold directional arrows, and sharp triangular insets. The design plays with a lively 1970s retro character, pairing rich primary red with crisp white and watercolour-textured cobalt blue details outlined in fine ink lines. What we particularly appreciate in this design is how the clean graphic repeat is softened by the organic washes within the blue watercolour sections, giving the repeat visual warmth alongside its energetic structure. Made-to-measure on PVC-free paper with a subtle surface structure, our mural wallpapers bring distinct personality and graphic flair to any space.

In the room

Because of its strong graphic identity and vivid palette, we see this wallpaper working especially well in active spaces such as a playroom, a creative teenage room, or an energetic games area. The bold repeat creates an immediate focal point, making it well suited to an accent wall behind a study desk, a reading nook, or a bed frame. In rooms with clean sightlines and ample natural daylight, the tonal depth in the blue watercolour washes stands out clearly against the solid red grid.

Styling it

When styling around such a punchy, retro-inspired pattern, we recommend keeping larger furniture pieces relatively grounded. Mid-toned or light natural woods balance the strong primary tones, while streamlined furniture silhouettes let the geometric motif hold visual attention without clutter. Pair the wall with clean white painted trim or unpainted wood accents, and introduce textured textiles in simple, solid weaves rather than competing multi-coloured patterns.

Colour combinations

The pattern centres on a striking primary red field accented with crisp white and deep cobalt blue watercolour fills. To create a balanced scheme around the wallpaper, we suggest carrying the crisp white onto adjacent painted walls or woodwork for high-contrast clarity. For a warmer, slightly softer interior, muted denim tones, natural unbleached canvas, or neutral navy in upholstery and curtains will echo the blue accents without overwhelming the space.
