Wallpaper - Coastal Critters II

Designed by Farida Zaman, this coastal wallpaper pairs a line-drawn shrimp motif with a bold geometric border reminiscent of classic decorative tiles. The central maritime illustration is framed by a slender red line and an outer chequered band in deep blue and off-white, set against a calm cream backdrop. The clean ink-drawn character gives our wallpapers an artisanal charm that brings a light, graphic feel to interior walls. Made-to-measure on PVC-free paper with a subtle surface structure, this design brings a relaxed seaside character into modern and traditional homes.

In the room

We see this design working beautifully in a kitchen, dining room, pantry, or downstairs cloakroom. The defined tile-like framing gives each panel a neat graphic structure, making it particularly effective on smaller walls, behind open shelving, or across a breakfast nook where the detail can be enjoyed up close. In a bright summer house or lakeside retreat, you can also use these wall murals to bring character to a hallway, utility room, or guest bedroom without overwhelming the space.

Styling it

The clear lines and traditional maritime feel make this design easy to style alongside classic and coastal interiors. We like pairing this motif with painted timber joinery, such as off-white or soft blue kitchen cabinets, alongside simple white ceramic ware. For dining spaces and breakfast areas, natural rattan or light wood furniture complements the relaxed, illustrative character, while simple brass or iron fittings tie in neatly with the graphic borders.

Colour combinations

The wallpaper is built around a warm cream ground, slate blue ink line work, and an energetic border accent in vermilion red and navy. Surrounding walls and woodwork pair effortlessly with soft chalky whites, pale sky blues, or rich deep navies taken directly from the outer frame. For an understated look, keep surrounding painted trim in warm stone or off-white, letting the primary red and blue accents stand out as crisp focal points.
