Wallpaper - Ocean Waves Pastel

Our Ocean Waves Pastel wallpaper, designed by Lisa Audit, pairs an elegant geometric trellis structure with soft, watercolor-washed drop shapes. Rendered in gentle pastel tones of aquamarine blue, dusty blush, muted lavender, sage, and warm sand, each curved segment displays subtle painted gradations and translucent pigment washes framed by clean off-white lattice lines. The rhythmic vertical flow brings a calm, balanced movement to interior surfaces while maintaining an airy, light-filled presence. Made to measure on our PVC-free paper with a subtle surface structure, this design brings refined historic pattern into contemporary living spaces.

In the room

We see this design working beautifully across spaces where a gentle, balanced atmosphere is desired. In a bedroom or nursery, the soft watercolor palette creates a restful backdrop that does not overwhelm the room. The geometric trellis repeat has enough structure to define an accent wall behind a headboard or crib, while its gentle tones make it equally suited to wrap all four walls without feeling visually heavy.

In a bathroom, powder room, or dressing room, the flowing drop motif brings a clean, classic sensibility reminiscent of heritage tile work. Because the pattern has a steady vertical rhythm, it works well in rooms with standard ceiling heights, drawing the eye upward and giving compact spaces an open, organized feel.

Styling it

To complement the light watercolor character of the wallpaper, we suggest keeping surrounding elements grounded in simple silhouettes and natural finishes. Light-toned woods such as ash or pale oak balance the pastel hues without competing for attention, while off-white or soft linen upholstery keeps the room feeling calm and coherent.

For accents, subtle brushed metals like muted brass or satin nickel echo the refined, Regency-inspired structure of the trellis without adding heavy visual contrast. Keeping surrounding fabrics relatively unpatterned allows the undulating geometric forms on the wall to remain the central decorative feature.

Color combinations

The wallpaper features a delicate pastel palette anchored by aquamarine blue, soft seafoam, pale blush pink, dusty lilac, and warm sandy beige against crisp off-white borders.

When choosing adjacent wall paint, woodwork, or trim, warm off-whites or pale ivory provide a seamless continuation of the lattice framework. If you prefer to draw out one of the cooler tones, a soft chalky aquamarine or muted duck-egg blue creates a cohesive, tranquil scheme. For a warmer interior direction, sandy linen tones and light parchment hues on nearby walls or larger upholstery will bring forward the subtle warmth in the beige and blush sections.
