Wallpaper - Ocean Blue Pt.1

Created in collaboration with Aimee Del Valle, our Ocean Blue Pt.1 wallpaper brings an expressive, abstract seascape to the wall. The composition captures the fluid movement of the sea through broad watercolor-style washes, blending deep cobalt blue with softer sky-blue gradients and crisp white paper breaks that evoke breaking surf and open water. With its sweeping horizontal rhythm and painterly visual texture, this design works as a striking focal point while maintaining an airy, balanced feel. Like all Wallism mural wallpapers, it is made-to-measure to your exact wall dimensions and printed on PVC-free paper with a subtle surface structure.

In the room

The open horizontal flow of this design makes it especially effective on a wider, uninterrupted wall where the full breadth of the seascape can unfold. In a bedroom, we like positioning it directly behind the bed headboard, where the calm blue tones and soft watercolor gradients create a restful, atmospheric backdrop.

Because the upper section of the motif is lighter and more open, while the lower portion carries deeper cobalt bands, the wallpaper anchors a room naturally without feeling top-heavy. In a dedicated meditation room or quiet reading corner, the fluid visual rhythm introduces a tranquil quality that invites the eye to wander across the layered brushwork. We recommend keeping taller furniture away from the lower third of the wall so the textural details and white seafoam accents remain fully visible.

Styling it

The organic, painted character of this artwork pairs naturally with contemporary and organic modern interiors that favour clean lines and tactile simplicity.

To complement the rich cobalt and watery blue gradients, we suggest working with light or warm wood tones such as natural ash, birch, or pale oak, which provide a gentle, grounding warmth against the cool palette. Keep large furniture pieces low-profile and straightforward in form so they do not compete with the movement of the artwork. Textured textiles, such as slubbed cotton throws, woven wool rugs, or simple linen window dressings in off-white, oat, or pale grey, balance the graphic presence of the blue pigment and soften the overall space.

Colour combinations

Our wallpaper is built around a distinct palette of rich cobalt, deep marine blue, soft sky blue, and bright white.

When choosing paint colours for adjoining walls, woodwork, and ceilings, crisp pure whites and soft chalky off-whites echo the unpainted highlights within the artwork and keep the room feeling bright and spacious. If you prefer subtle colour on surrounding surfaces, very pale misty blues or muted cool greys harmonise effortlessly with the watery gradients. For decorative accents and smaller furnishings, warm sandy neutrals, unbleached canvas, or subtle charcoal touches offer a refined balance against the intense blue tones.
