Wallpaper - Killer Whale

Our Killer Whale wallpaper by Yvette St. Amant brings a striking marine motif to the wall through an artistic, graphic lens. Rendered in deep blue and navy tones against a clean white ground, the silhouette of the whale is composed of stone-like mosaic patches with delicate line detailing across the head. The watercolour-inspired texture adds visual depth to the bold shape, balancing the strong graphic presence with softer, painterly nuances. Produced as made-to-measure, PVC-free wall murals with a subtle physical paper structure, this design makes an immediate impression while maintaining an open, airy feeling across the room.

In the room

Because the motif features a large, focal subject set against generous negative space, we see this working particularly well on a wider, uninterrupted wall. In a living room or bedroom, positioning the design behind a sofa or low headboard gives the whale room to be seen in its entirety without feeling crowded. The crisp contrast and oceanic theme also make it a wonderful fit for children's spaces, including nurseries, toddler rooms, and playrooms, where the graphic shapes bring personality to the walls. In a bathroom or hallway, the cool palette creates a fresh, distinct focal point, especially where adjacent walls are kept simple to let the central composition breathe.

Styling it

To complement the strong geometry and graphic character of the motif, we suggest pairing it with clean, contemporary furniture shapes and uncluttered layouts.

• Keep larger furniture pieces relatively simple in silhouette, allowing the graphic contours of the whale to remain the primary visual feature of the space.
• Introduce natural, lighter wood tones or painted finishes to soften the high contrast between the navy elements and the bright background.
• Select solid, unpatterned textiles in woven textures or smooth weaves to avoid competing with the mosaic pattern within the artwork.

Colour combinations

The design centres on deep blue and rich navy, framed by a pure, clean white. To build a cohesive palette around our wallpaper, we suggest continuing crisp white or soft off-white on adjacent walls, skirting, and ceilings. For rooms where you want to lean into the oceanic mood, deep navy accents on painted woodwork, shelving, or upholstery will tie directly into the darkest tones of the illustration. Alternatively, pairing the cool blues with muted slate, pale grey, or warm neutral textiles provides a balanced backdrop that keeps the overall atmosphere light and welcoming.
