Wallpaper - Wandering Whales, Pastel

Designed by Carrie Cantwell, our Wandering Whales, Pastel wallpaper features a cheerful repeating pattern of illustrated whales swimming in neat horizontal rows. Rendered in gentle jade green and soft grey-blue tones, each whale is topped with a decorative pink water spout, set against a calm, pale cream background. The flat graphic shapes and clean curved lines give the motif a charming, whimsical character that feels light and balanced. Made-to-measure on PVC-free paper with a subtle surface structure, this wallpaper brings an inviting ocean theme into modern family spaces.

In the room

We see this wallpaper working beautifully in nurseries, children's bedrooms, toddler rooms, and playrooms where a playful yet gentle visual rhythm is desired. Because the repeat is regular and uncluttered, it works equally well across all four walls of a compact nursery or as an accent feature wall behind a cot or low shelving unit. In a family bathroom, the friendly aquatic theme adds visual interest to walls around the vanity or mirror without making the space feel crowded.

Styling it

To complement the graphic nature of the print, we suggest pairing the wallpaper with simple, functional furniture in light natural wood or clean white painted finishes. Soft textiles in washed cotton or ribbed textures echo the warmth of the cream backdrop, while small decorative accessories in muted coral or blush can pick up on the pink spouts. Keeping surrounding surfaces understated ensures the clean silhouette of the whales remains the focal point of the interior.

Colour combinations

The wallpaper brings together soft jade green, muted slate blue, gentle blush pink, and a warm cream background. For adjacent painted walls, skirting boards, or cabinetry, we recommend soft off-whites, warm biscuit tones, or a pale sage green to maintain a calm and airy atmosphere. If you want a bit more contrast, a deeper sea-green or dusty rose accent piece creates a lovely, grounded dialogue with the motif.
