Wallpaper - In The Curl I

Our In The Curl I wallpaper captures the dynamic curve of an ocean wave through fluid, watercolour-style washes and expressive white crest detailing. Created by Chris Paschke, the design blends deep sea blues with clear aquamarine tones and soft white foam, creating a sense of movement across the surface. What we particularly like is how the sweeping arc of the wave provides natural rhythm while remaining balanced and tranquil on a wider scale. Like all our mural wallpapers, this design is made-to-measure and printed on PVC-free paper with a subtle surface texture.

In the room

Because this is a large-scale mural wallpaper depicting an arching ocean wave, we see it working particularly well on a wide, uninterrupted wall where the full curve has space to unfold. In a tranquil bathroom or a quiet meditation room, placing our wallpaper behind a freestanding tub or along a primary feature wall establishes a soothing visual focal point. The fluid composition draws the eye across the space, making it an engaging backdrop in rooms with ample natural daylight where the nuances between the indigo and aquamarine washes can be fully appreciated.

Styling it

To complement the organic movement of the motif, we suggest pairing this design with contemporary or organic modern interiors that favour clean lines and simple silhouettes.

Keeping surrounding elements relatively quiet allows the wave motif to remain the centre of attention. We like combining this wallpaper with smooth stone surfaces, pale ceramic accents, and understated painted cabinetry in crisp white or soft grey. Choosing low-profile furnishings prevents visual clutter from breaking up the dynamic curve of the water.

Colour combinations

The palette within our design centres on deep oceanic blues, aquamarine, and frothy whites, layered over softer sky-blue washes.

Around the room, we would pair this wallpaper with clean, neutral tones such as pure chalk white or cool off-white on adjacent walls and woodwork. For a touch of contrast, soft charcoal or muted slate grey in accessories or fixtures provides an elegant anchor, while gentle coastal blues can be echoed across larger painted surfaces to tie the room together harmoniously.
