Wallpaper - Ocean Waves Pastel

Designed by Lisa Audit, our Ocean Waves Pastel wallpaper combines a rhythmic trellis pattern with soft, painted watercolour washes. Elongated ogee forms interlock across the wall, framed by white framing lines that give the geometric structure a light, architectural feel. Within each petal-shaped cell, washes of aquamarine blue, gentle seafoam, sandy beige, blush pink, and subtle lilac shift smoothly in tone. This fluid watercolour appearance softens the classic symmetry, giving our wallpapers a calm and breezy presence. Like all our mural wallpapers, this design is made-to-measure and printed on PVC-free paper with a subtle surface structure.

In the room

We see this geometric trellis working particularly well in spaces where you want order paired with a soothing, airy mood. In a bedroom or dressing room, the repeating vertical curves draw the eye upwards while keeping the overall wall quiet and balanced. Because the pattern repeat is rhythmic and balanced without aggressive contrast, it sits comfortably across an entire room or on a dedicated feature wall behind a bed or dressing table.

In a nursery, toddler room, or playroom, the pastel palette brings a gentle touch of colour that does not overwhelm smaller furnishings. We also like this design for a bathroom or powder room, where the trellis framework introduces an elegant architectural rhythm alongside clean porcelain and simple wall mirrors.

Styling it

To keep the light and airy character of this wallpaper at the centre of the scheme, we suggest pairing it with clean, understated furniture. Painted furniture in warm off-white or pale cream helps echo the white dividing trellis lines without competing with the watercolour infills. If you prefer wood, lighter timber finishes like pale ash or natural blonde wood harmonise effortlessly with the sandy beige tones within the print.

For textiles, simple woven fabrics and unpatterned drapery allow the repeating ogee curves to remain the primary visual motif in the room. A soft, neutral wool rug or smooth cotton bedding keeps the surroundings tactile yet visually uncomplicated.

Colour combinations

Our wallpaper brings together aquamarine blue, soft seafoam, muted sand, dusty blush, and pale lilac, all separated by crisp white lattice lines. Because the colours in the print are muted and chalky, surrounding walls painted in chalky whites, pale cream, or very light warm grey will blend seamlessly around it.

If you want to draw out a specific shade from the pattern, picking up the soft aquamarine on a vanity cabinet, painted woodwork, or subtle decorative ceramics creates a cohesive feel. Alternatively, introducing accents of warm sand and brushed brass can ground the cooler pastel tones, adding a hint of warmth to the room without overpowering the delicate palette.
