Wallpaper - Heads Up

In our Heads Up wallpaper, by Max Blakesberg Studios, a sleek shark glides through deep blue ocean water, swimming directly forwards with a pointed snout and fins cutting through the sea. The smooth grey body and white underbelly create a clean contrast against the rich blue depths, while light filtering from above casts a subtle gradient from pale green to deep ocean tones. A second shark in the background adds visual depth to this underwater scene. Like all our wallpapers, this design is made-to-measure, PVC-free, and printed on paper with a subtle structure that is straightforward to hang.

In the room

We see this photographic wall mural working especially well where you want a bold visual focal point. Because the composition has a strong central focus, giving it an uninterrupted wall allows the shark's forward motion to carry across the space. It sits naturally in a teenage room as a dynamic feature wall, or in a home theatre where the deep ocean blues contribute to an immersive, atmospheric setting. In a bathroom, the water theme connects effortlessly with the environment, bringing rich colour and depth to the wall opposite a mirror or vanity area.

Styling it

When styling around this mural wallpaper, we suggest balancing the bold photographic scene with clean, contemporary furniture:

• Choose furniture with minimal silhouettes and low profiles to let the central composition of the wallpaper remain open and visible.
• Pair with cool grey, crisp white, or charcoal accents that echo the shark's natural colouring and ground the room.
• Use matte black metal or brushed steel details in hardware and light fixtures to complement the modern, aquatic feel without competing with the vibrant blue tones.

Colour combinations

The palette in our wallpaper centres around deep ocean blue, cool grey, and crisp white, transitioning softly into pale green near the water's surface. On adjoining walls, we recommend pairing this design with off-white, soft mist grey, or a muted navy to keep the space cohesive. If you want to introduce contrast in smaller decorative elements, consider charcoal, slate, or subtle silver tones that work alongside the cool temperature of the blue backdrop.
