Wallpaper - Octopus Harvest

Our Octopus Harvest wallpaper brings a vivid Mediterranean seaside scene to your walls, photographed by Tono Balaguer. The composition captures sun-drying octopuses suspended on wooden lines along a rocky coast, set against a wide expanse of deep blue sea and open sky. Warm ochre and terracotta-orange tones in the drying catch create a crisp visual contrast with the intense blues of the water and horizon, while the curling tentacles and suction cups add natural detail across the foreground. Like all our wallpapers, this design is custom made to your specific wall dimensions on PVC-free paper with a subtle surface structure.

In the room

We see this photographic mural working especially well as an expressive focal point in a dining room or kitchen. The strong horizontal division between the rocky shoreline and the open water gives the scene an expansive feel, making a single uninterrupted wall the natural home for it. Placed along a dining area or behind a kitchen banquette, the open sea horizon adds depth while the detailed foreground brings rich color into everyday view.

Because the color contrast between the orange tones and the bright blue sky is quite pronounced, we would keep the design on one primary accent wall rather than carrying it across all four surfaces. This allows the scene to function almost like a wide coastal window without competing with surrounding architectural features.

Styling it

To balance the bold marine tones and rustic subject matter, we would lean into simple, tactile interior elements that echo the coastal setting:

• Pair the wallpaper with warm, natural wood furniture such as honey-toned pine or light oak to connect with the wooden drying racks in the photograph.
• Keep surrounding dining or kitchen chairs unadorned and visually light so the intricate shapes in the lower half of the wall stay clearly visible.
• Introduce plain ceramic tableware, terracotta accents, or unbleached woven table linens to complement the earthy qualities of the catch.
• Use soft, warm ambient lighting in the evening to enrich the terracotta-orange tones against the darker backdrop of the sea.

Color combinations

The core palette of our design is built around the strong dialogue between sky blue, deep maritime blue, and warm orange-ochre. To build a cohesive room around it, we recommend drawing directly from these verified shades:

Warm off-whites or soft sandy tones on adjacent painted walls work well to soften the transition from the rich blue sky. Deep navy or coastal blue on nearby woodwork, trim, or lower kitchen cabinets can ground the mural and reinforce the marine backdrop. If you want a more energetic accent in surrounding accessories, small touches of terracotta or burnt orange will effortlessly pull out the warm tones of the dried octopus.
