Wallpaper - Seafood Shanty Blue V

Designed by Anne Tavoletti, our Seafood Shanty Blue V wallpaper brings a fresh maritime rhythm to the wall through bold horizontal chain links rendered with a painterly, watercolour-like touch. Set against a deep cobalt blue background, alternating horizontal rows of bright red and crisp white chain loops create a striking graphic stripe with clean black outlines. It is an expressive design that balances classic coastal Americana charm with modern graphic clarity. Our mural wallpapers are made-to-measure, PVC-free, and printed on paper with a subtle physical structure that is straightforward to hang.

In the room

We love how the crisp horizontal banding gives this design strong visual momentum across a wall. In an entryway or mudroom, it establishes an energetic, welcoming tone from the moment you step through the door, where the chain motif feels right at home alongside coats, boots, and everyday gear. The high-contrast repeat also works brilliantly across a feature wall in a study or home office, framing a desk area with clean geometric focus without overpowering the room.

Because the alternating red and white chains create clear horizontal lines, we find the pattern naturally accentuates the width of a wall. In more compact spaces like an entry or hallway, it can help the wall feel more expansive. On wider, uninterrupted walls, the full visual rhythm of the chain links has plenty of room to repeat cleanly from side to side.

Styling it

To let the strong graphic lines and primary palette lead, we would pair this wallpaper with simple, functional furnishings that have solid silhouettes:

• Painted furniture in crisp white, deep navy, or clean off-black anchors the room while echoing the motif's distinct outlines.
• Natural woven textures like jute rugs, rope accents, or canvas storage baskets enhance the classic maritime feel while adding warmth.
• Matte black metal hardware or brass fixtures provide clean-lined metallic contrast that complements the bold, nautical look.

Colour combinations

The pattern centres on a rich cobalt blue field, punctuated by bright coral red, chalky white, and fine black detailing.

To build a cohesive room around this wallpaper, we recommend carrying the crisp white or deep cobalt onto adjacent walls and woodwork for a tailored, architectural feel. Warm off-white or soft cream trim softens the transition slightly, while subtle touches of navy or warm grey on surrounding doors and cabinetry keep the focus firmly on the wallpaper's lively colour play.
