Wallpaper - Laying Out Blue

Our Laying Out Blue wallpaper, designed by Mary Urban, brings a structured geometric trellis pattern to life with a soft, watercolor-like character. Crisp white brushstroke lines form intersecting squares and diamond shapes across a deep navy blue background, creating a bold visual rhythm with a classic architectural feel. The slight variations in the painted lines soften the graphic repeat, giving the design warmth and an artistic touch. Like all of our wallpapers, this design is made-to-measure and printed on PVC-free paper with a subtle surface structure, making it straightforward to hang.

In the room

We see this wallpaper working especially well in spaces where clear structure can define the architecture of the room. In a home study or library, the crisp contrast between navy and white introduces an orderly, tailored backdrop for bookshelves, artwork, and a dedicated desk area. The repeating geometric trellis also suits transitional areas like hallways and staircases, where the continuous diagonal movement helps draw the eye along the space without feeling static. Because the pattern repeat is rhythmic and balanced, it sits comfortably across full walls or wraps an entire room to create a cohesive, tailored envelope.

Styling it

The tailored, heritage feel of this pattern pairs naturally with traditional millwork, crisp painted trim, and classic furniture forms. We would lean toward warm wood tones like walnut or rich oak to balance the deep navy base, along with tailored upholstery in clean neutrals or textured weaves. Polished brass or warm bronze hardware adds a refined finish that catches the light against the dark background, while simpler furniture profiles allow the geometric trellis to remain the clear focal point of the interior.

Color combinations

Our design centers on a high-contrast palette of deep navy blue and painterly white. To complement the wallpaper, crisp white paint on adjacent walls, wainscoting, or crown molding will echo the bright linear grid. Warm neutrals, soft camel tones, and rich cognac leathers create an inviting, grounded feel alongside the cool navy ground, while deeper shades like forest green or charcoal work well as smaller accent notes for a layered, sophisticated palette.
