Wallpaper - Green Oceans

Created by artist Courtney Prahl, our Green Oceans wallpaper brings a charming collage sea turtle to center stage. The motif features a large turtle composed of layered green ephemera, vintage typography, numerical tickets, and delicate floral paper cutouts. It rests against an off-white background with subtle painted vertical stripes and cursive script. Earthy shades of avocado, moss, and muted sage give the artwork an organic, handcrafted character. Produced as custom made-to-measure mural wallpapers on PVC-free paper with a subtle physical surface structure, this design brings an artistic focal point to any interior.

In the room

With its central figurative motif, our Green Oceans wall mural works best when given a dedicated, relatively uninterrupted wall where the full silhouette can be seen clearly. In a child's bedroom or playroom, it creates an engaging, storybook centerpiece above a low toy bench or bed frame. The design also settles comfortably into a home office, study, or vacation home bedroom where the quiet script and natural green tones lend a relaxed, creative feel.

Because the main artwork is positioned prominently in the center, we suggest placing it on a wall that is not overly crowded by tall wardrobes or towering bookcases. In a compact powder room or bathroom, positioning the turtle above wainscoting or alongside simple mirrors allows the collage details to be enjoyed up close.

Styling it

We recommend letting this wallpaper serve as the primary visual feature of the space. Pair it with painted wood furniture in soft off-white, muted moss, or warm honey tones that echo the vintage paper textures without competing with the illustration. Simple, uncluttered furnishings help balance the detailed text and fragmented patterns inside the turtle's shell.

Woven accents such as rattan storage baskets, braided jute floor coverings, or soft canvas upholstery naturally complement the collage style. Keep surrounding wall decorations minimal so the distinct silhouette and layered typography remain the focal point.

Color combinations

Our design is anchored in a palette of earthy avocado, moss, and soft leafy greens, balanced by cream and warm parchment tones in the background. To build a cohesive color scheme around our wallpapers, pull out the gentle off-white from the background stripes for adjacent walls, trim, and baseboards to keep the room feeling light and unified.

For furniture, upholstery, and decorative accents, warm olive, muted sage, and subtle mustard or ochre tones tie back directly to the collage fragments. If you prefer higher contrast, a deep forest green or charcoal accent piece adds grounding structure while highlighting the lighter green hues in the artwork.
