Wallpaper - Two Whales

Our Two Whales design brings a calm, graphic touch to the wall with two stylized whales drifting across a clean white backdrop. Created by Yvette St. Amant, the artwork balances a modern illustrative feel with soft watercolor-like textures. The upper whale displays a mosaic-inspired arrangement of geometric shapes in muted blues, while the lower whale features softer rounded segments and delicate line work. Rendered in deep navy and lighter blue tones, this design creates an open, aquatic mood without visual clutter. Like all Wallism wallpapers, it is custom made-to-measure on PVC-free paper with a subtle surface structure.

In the room

Because the motif relies on an expansive white background with generous negative space, we see this wall mural working particularly well as an accent wall in a nursery, toddler room, or playroom. Placing the whales behind a crib, low bookshelf, or daybed allows the two swimming figures to sit comfortably above the furniture line.

In a bedroom, bathroom, or private study, the clean contrast between the rich navy tones and the white ground gives the space an airy, contemporary quality. It suits walls that receive plenty of natural daylight, where the soft gradations in the blue watercolor fills remain crisp and distinct. For a teenage room or home office, using it on an uninterrupted main wall provides an artistic focal point while keeping the rest of the room feeling light and uncluttered.

Styling it

We suggest pairing this design with simple Scandinavian or contemporary furnishings that mirror its clean lines. Light wood furniture, such as pale ash or natural birch, complements the cool marine palette by adding gentle warmth to the space.

Keep textiles relatively quiet, choosing solid off-white, light gray, or washed denim tones to echo the blues in the motif. Deep navy accents in a reading lamp, picture frame, or low storage unit can help tie the dark details of the whales into the wider room without overwhelming the light composition.

Color combinations

The wallpaper centers on a clean white ground paired with shades of classic navy, sky blue, and soft slate.

To build a balanced palette around the mural, consider painting adjacent walls in a soft, chalky off-white or an airy light gray to maintain the open feel. If you prefer deeper contrast, a rich navy accent on surrounding trim, doors, or low cabinetry grounds the room and highlights the darkest tones in the illustration. Muted seafoam or dusty slate blue on larger bedding and rugs also blends effortlessly with the watercolor blues.
