Wallpaper - In The Blue

Our In The Blue wallpaper by Chris Paschke captures the dynamic swell of an ocean wave through expressive watercolour and painted textural layers. Deep indigo and cobalt tones anchor the base of the crest, transitioning into pale sky blue washes and frothy white crests across the upper composition. What we particularly like about this design is the balance between broad, energetic brush sweeps and fine, splattered droplets that give the seascape its artistic movement. Produced as a made-to-measure mural, this PVC-free wallpaper is straightforward to hang on your wall.

In the room

Because the composition carries a strong horizontal and cresting motion, we like using this design across a wide, uninterrupted wall where the full arc of the wave can unfold naturally. In a spacious bathroom or a dedicated meditation room, it creates an immersive coastal backdrop without overwhelming the space, thanks to the softer, airy washes across the top half. If you are placing it in a holiday home living area or bedroom, we recommend positioning the main seating or bed so it does not entirely conceal the rich, deeper blue tones along the lower portion of the wall.

Styling it

To complement the painterly character of the motif, we suggest pairing it with organic modern or contemporary interior pieces. Low-profile furniture with clean lines allows the dramatic movement of the water to remain the focal point. Light, natural wood finishes such as bleached ash or pale oak sit comfortably alongside the cool palette, providing warmth without competing for attention. We would keep decorative accessories simple, leaning into smooth matte ceramics or lightly textured linen cushions in off-white tones that echo the cresting seafoam.

Colour combinations

The artwork is defined by a cool spectrum of ocean blues, ranging from dark navy and slate blue to soft azure, complemented by crisp white and subtle greyish undertones. When choosing paint for neighbouring walls, skirting, or doors, soft off-whites and pale mist greys create a seamless, balanced transition. If you want to introduce deeper contrast in surrounding decor, consider picking up the dark indigo from the base of the wave through upholstered accent chairs or deep navy architectural accents.
