Wallpaper - Swimmers, Blue

Our Swimmers, Blue wallpaper captures a serene aquatic scene created by Irina Chikati. Stylised pink figures drift gently across a powder blue surface, accompanied by floating dark lily pads with delicate white flowers. Subtle line work forms soft ripples in the water, framing swimmers dressed in pastel green, blue, and purple swimwear. The flat illustration style, inspired by ink drawings, brings a balanced and dreamy rhythm to the wall without feeling visually cluttered. Like all our wallpapers, this design is made-to-measure on PVC-free paper with a subtle physical surface structure.

In the room

In a bedroom, we see this working particularly well behind the bedhead, where the fluid horizontal movement of the figures creates a calm, grounding backdrop. The airy powder blue backdrop also makes it an appealing choice for a bathroom or a poolhouse, introducing a light, water-inspired motif that enlivens the space while keeping the overall atmosphere soft. Because the composition balances open blue areas with scattered figures and floating lily pads, the pattern works nicely on a feature wall or across multiple adjacent walls in a quiet meditation room or guest space.

Styling it

The graphic yet soft character of this design pairs naturally with clean Scandinavian and contemporary interior pieces. We suggest pairing it with:

• Pale, warm woods such as birch, ash, or light oak to echo the gentle warmth of the pink figures and grounded lily pads.
• Smooth ceramic accents and simple brushed steel or matte chrome fixtures that reflect the clean, modern line work of the artwork.
• Soft, unpatterned textiles in off-white, muted sage, or washed pastel blue to let the detailed swimmers and water ripples remain the central visual focus.

Colour combinations

The design centres on a cool powder blue base, accented by blush pink, dark green lily pads, crisp white blossoms, and swimwear in soft lilac, pastel green, and pale blue. For surrounding walls and woodwork, warm off-white or soft grey-blue creates an effortless tonal flow. If you want a bit more contrast, bringing in a deeper forest green inspired by the lily pads on nearby shelving, painted doors, or cabinetry creates an intentional and grounded palette.
