Wallpaper - Maritime XIV

Created by Daphne Brissonnet, our Maritime XIV wallpaper brings together decorative compass roses and marine motifs across a deep navy blue ground. Large circular compass medallions feature painted mosaic detailing, rope-like borders, and radiating compass points, each centering a distinct sea creature or shell, including starfish, scallops, nautilus shells, and sand dollars. Painted highlights of crisp white, turquoise, and coral red pop against the dark blue canvas, giving this nautical design a lively, illustrated feel. Made-to-measure and completely PVC-free, the wallpaper has a subtle surface texture that complements its detailed brushwork.

In the room

We see this wallpaper working particularly well as a striking accent wall in a bathroom, cloakroom, or coastal-inspired bedroom. The scale of the compass medallions is generous, so giving the design an open, relatively uninterrupted wall lets the full circular motifs and playful marine centres display their rhythmic composition. In a powder room or guest bathroom, running our wall murals across an accent wall behind a mirror or vanity introduces an immediate nautical charm without overwhelming the space. The deep navy backdrop also makes it an expressive choice for a summerhouse or poolhouse retreat, where the strong blue tone grounds the room and creates a fresh, coastal atmosphere.

Styling it

Because Maritime XIV features graphic lines and bold circular geometry, we like pairing it with clean-lined furniture and simple, unpatterned surfaces that let the wall take centre stage. Crisp white woodwork, traditional tongue-and-groove panelling, or clean white painted cabinetry echo the bright white accents inside each compass rose. For surrounding materials, warm, weathered woods or natural rope and woven textures complement the maritime theme naturally. Keeping larger furniture and textiles fairly neutral allows the vibrant blue, turquoise, and coral tones in the pattern to remain the primary focal point of the interior.

Colour combinations

The palette of our mural wallpapers is anchored by a rich navy blue base, layered with crisp white, bright turquoise, soft sky blue, and energetic accents of coral red and orange in the starfish and compass details. For adjacent walls and skirting, we recommend clean off-whites, brilliant white, or pale coastal greys that highlight the freshness of the illustration. If you prefer a moodier, enveloping scheme, matching nearby woodwork or cabinetry to a deep navy blue creates a cohesive, tailored finish. Soft sandy neutrals and muted terracotta accents also work well in smaller decorative pieces to subtly pick up the warm tones of the marine motifs.
