Wallpaper - Whales

Our Whales wallpaper brings together four distinct ocean giants stacked gracefully across a clean white background. Created by Yvette St. Amant, each whale silhouette is rendered in delicate watercolour washes, filled with intricate patterns of mosaic-like scales, flowing vertical stripes, and fine linear shading. The palette moves effortlessly between deep navy and soft marine blues, giving the artwork a calm, graphic clarity that feels both artistic and playful. Produced made-to-measure on PVC-free paper with a subtle surface structure, our wallpaper creates an expressive focal point without overwhelming the surrounding room.

In the room

Because the design features strong horizontal silhouettes stacked vertically with generous white space around them, we particularly like it on a main feature wall where the full composition can breathe. It works exceptionally well in nurseries, children's bedrooms, and playrooms, offering a cheerful marine presence that easily transitions as children grow older. We also see this wallpaper fitting naturally into a bright family bathroom, a coastal bedroom, or a relaxed home office where the balance of deep indigo and crisp white brings a clean, airy quality to the space. If you have lower ceilings or a compact wall area, the open background prevents the room from feeling closed in.

Styling it

We recommend keeping the surrounding furniture relatively grounded so the graphic watercolour details remain the hero of the space. Pale, natural woods like birch or light ash echo the modern coastal character, while clean white painted joinery keeps the entire scheme fresh and uncluttered. If you want to introduce soft furnishings or decorative elements, look to simple woven textiles, crisp white linens, or subtle nautical accents in brushed silver or matte finishes. Avoid overly busy competing prints nearby, allowing the whale motifs to take centre stage.

Colour combinations

The artwork centres on deep navy, midnight blue, and lighter watery indigo tones set against a crisp white field. To build a cohesive palette around our wall murals, you can pair this design with clean off-white or soft coastal grey on adjoining walls. For a richer, moodier atmosphere in a study or bathroom, pulling a deep navy paint onto adjacent woodwork or cabinetry creates a striking, enveloping effect. Soft sea-glass blues and pale denim tones also complement the varying watercolour intensities in the whales' bodies.
