Wallpaper - Making My Mark Blue

Designed by Mary Urban, our Making My Mark Blue wallpaper presents a graphic, Asian Zen-inspired pattern set against a deep navy blue background. The repeating circular symbols feature painterly white brushwork with a watercolour-like texture, giving the geometric medallions a softer, handcrafted visual feel. The high contrast between the crisp white motifs and the rich dark blue backdrop creates a rhythmic, balanced presence on the wall. Produced made-to-measure, this PVC-free design features a subtle structure in the wallpaper paper, bringing an artistic, tranquil look to interior spaces.

In the room

We especially like this design for spaces where you want to create a calm yet defined focal point. In a dining room, the structured repeat of circular emblems forms an elegant backdrop around a dining table, grounding the space while keeping the visual atmosphere composed.

In a living room, we see this working well on a main feature wall, such as behind a sofa or along a wide, uninterrupted wall area. Because the pattern relies on a bold contrast between navy blue and white, giving it room to repeat allows the geometric rhythm to show its full cadence without feeling crowded. The deep blue base also sits comfortably in rooms with ample natural daylight, which highlights the delicate tonal variations within the painted white marks.

Styling it

To complement the Asian Zen sensibility and graphic balance of this design, we would pair it with clean-lined furniture and warm, grounding materials.

Natural wood tones such as warm ash, muted oak, or dark walnut work particularly well against the navy background, softening the crisp white geometry. For surrounding furniture and seating, we recommend choosing upholstery in soft neutrals, such as unbleached linen or textured off-white bouclé, which echo the light tones of the medallions while keeping the rest of the room calm and understated.

Colour combinations

The wallpaper is defined by its deep navy blue ground and soft, painterly white emblems. When considering surrounding surfaces, we suggest working with colours that either mirror these clean tones or provide gentle warmth.

Soft whites, pale creams, and subtle ivory on adjacent walls, skirting, and ceilings prevent the contrast from feeling overly sharp. For cabinetry, woodwork, or accent pieces, deeper shades of midnight blue or muted indigo help continue the depth of the wallpaper into the wider room, while warm neutrals like pale taupe offer a serene, grounded balance.
