Wallpaper - Stormy Seas

Our Stormy Seas wallpaper by Julia Purinton captures the atmospheric motion of coastal elements through broad, sweeping painterly brushstrokes. Deep ocean blues blend with softer sky-blue tones and foaming white accents, giving the abstract surface a layered, oil-painted visual depth. The flowing horizontal rhythm creates a balanced composition that feels expressive without overwhelming the space around it. Like all our wall murals, this design is made-to-measure to your exact wall dimensions and printed on PVC-free paper with a subtle surface structure that hangs cleanly and easily.

In the room

We see this design working particularly well on an expansive feature wall in a living room, where the full sweep of the brushwork has space to unfold naturally. Placing the mural wallpapers across a main wall behind a sofa or low credenza allows the horizontal movement of the artwork to anchor the room. In a dedicated meditation space or reading corner, the tranquil palette of sky blues and deep marine tones sets a calm, immersive backdrop. Because the pattern relies on large, blended strokes rather than small, repetitive motifs, it also sits comfortably on walls interrupted by doorways or wide windows without losing its visual coherence.

Styling it

To let the dynamic painterly composition remain the visual focal point, we recommend pairing this wallpaper with restrained furniture shapes and clean silhouettes. Low-profile seating and minimalist contemporary case goods keep sightlines open so the full scale of the artwork can be appreciated.

When choosing accents, soft textiles in undyed wool or unbleached cotton balance the cool visual temperature of the blue palette. Matte black metal or muted dark timber accents ground the lighter areas of the motif and echo the deeper navy undertones within the paint layers.

Colour combinations

The palette within our design centres on deep sea blues, layered sky blue, and crisp white brushmarks.

Around the wallpaper, we suggest keeping adjoining walls in soft, chalky off-whites or pale stone tones to maintain an airy, open feel. If you prefer a richer, more enveloping interior, deep navy or slate blue paint on neighbouring woodwork and skirting boards will seamlessly draw out the darkest strokes in the painting.
