Wallpaper - Indigo Poufs on Blue

Our Indigo Poufs on Blue wallpaper, created in collaboration with Lovisa Burfitt, brings an expressive and artistic presence to the wall. The design layers swirling ink-blue blotches, cobalt marks and soft cloudy clusters across a lighter blue ground, interwoven with fine, undulating lines that evoke the fluid character of a watercolour drawing. What we particularly appreciate is the balance between the weight of the deep indigo pools and the airy movement of the sketch-like linework, giving the pattern a distinct sense of depth. Made-to-measure on our PVC-free paper with a subtle surface structure, this wallpaper makes a striking statement while retaining an easy, paint-led lightness.

In the room

We see this design working exceptionally well in spaces where creative energy and visual interest are celebrated, such as a dedicated home art studio, a quiet study or a contemporary living room. Because the composition relies on fluid, painterly forms rather than a rigid geometric grid, it adapts effortlessly to wider feature walls where the full rhythm of the brushwork can unfold. In a bedroom or a peaceful meditation area, positioning the mural behind the bed or along a main uninterrupted wall creates a tranquil yet visually rich focal point. The cool cobalt and navy tones naturally ground a room, especially where balanced natural light allows the delicate tonal transitions in the blue wash to stand out.

Styling it

To let the expressive watercolour character lead the space, we suggest keeping surrounding furnishings relatively clean in silhouette and understated in detail.

• Pair the wallpaper with light wood tones or painted furniture in chalky, soft neutrals to keep the overall atmosphere bright, relaxed and contemporary.
• Introduce tactile textiles in unbleached cotton or washed linen to complement the painterly, handcrafted look of the linework without adding competing patterns.
• Incorporate matte black metal or subtle bronze accents through lighting and hardware, which echo the deep ink elements in the motif and anchor the room’s composition.

Colour combinations

The palette within the design is built around rich shades of cobalt, deep navy, inky indigo and softer atmospheric blues. When planning the rest of the room, crisp whites, pale greys and cool off-whites on adjacent walls or woodwork provide a fresh backdrop that allows the blue tones to pop. If you prefer a richer, more enveloping scheme, deeper charcoal or midnight blue accents in larger upholstery or painted cabinetry connect directly with the darkest paint strokes in the motif.
