Wallpaper - Whales

Our Whales wallpaper brings an artistic, oceanic touch to the wall with four distinct whale silhouettes arranged in a clean vertical stack against a crisp white background. Created by artist Yvette St. Amant, the design uses a soft watercolor-like technique, filling each creature with unique abstract patterns ranging from organic dappled spots to flowing linear stripes. The palette moves effortlessly between deep navy and soft light blue washes, providing crisp contrast without feeling heavy. We produce this design as a custom made-to-measure wall mural on PVC-free paper with a subtle physical structure, making it a distinctive choice for modern homes.

In the room

We especially like this design for nurseries, children's bedrooms, and dedicated playrooms, where the playful subject matter feels right at home while maintaining a sophisticated, handcrafted aesthetic. Because the four whales are stacked with generous negative space around them, the design works wonderfully as a feature wall behind a crib, low bed frame, or reading nook. It also translates beautifully to a bright bathroom, a coastal vacation home, or a quiet study where you want an airy, marine-inspired focal point. The vertical rhythm draws the eye upward, making it particularly effective on walls with standard or higher ceilings.

Styling it

The graphic balance of blue watercolor against clean white gives you great flexibility with surrounding furnishings. We suggest pairing this wallpaper with light, natural wood tones such as blonde birch or ash, which maintain the design's breezy, Scandinavian feel. White painted furniture also works seamlessly, echoing the background and letting the indigo and navy shapes become the primary graphic statement.

To keep the room feeling open and serene, we recommend keeping surrounding patterns minimal. Soft cotton bedding, simple ribbed ceramics, or solid indigo accents will pick up the shades of the artwork nicely without competing with the detailed patterns across the whales' bodies.

Color combinations

The wallpaper itself centers on a focused marine palette: deep navy, ocean blue, and soft diluted sky blues against a clean, brilliant white base.

When choosing paint for adjacent walls or trim, a crisp pure white or an ultra-light cool gray will let the wall mural blend seamlessly into the room. If you prefer to introduce more depth, a saturated navy accent on woodwork or doors creates a handsome, grounded frame. For a gentler nursery or bedroom look, soft seafoam, pale misty gray, or warm sand tones on rugs and drapery balance the cool blues effortlessly.
