Wallpaper - Above and Below

Our Above and Below wallpaper captures a split-level perspective by Max Blakesberg Studios, showing a sea turtle swimming through clear aquamarine water beneath a pastel sky of pink, purple, and soft blue tones. The composition divides the view between the sunlit ocean floor below and scattered clouds above the waterline, creating an expansive, tranquil visual character across the wall. Printed on PVC-free paper with a subtle surface structure, our mural wallpapers are made to measure to fit your exact wall dimensions.

In the room

Because this photographic design relies on a strong horizontal waterline dividing sky and ocean, we find it works best on an uninterrupted wall where the full scale of the composition can unfold. In a bedroom, placing the mural behind a low headboard allows the turtle and open water to remain in full view, while the pastel sky extends across the upper half of the wall.

We also see this working exceptionally well in a bathroom or living room setting, particularly where you want to create a focal feature wall that introduces a sense of depth. In spaces with good natural light, the subtle shifts between the turquoise water and the sandy textures on the seabed become especially clear.

Styling it

To let the photography remain the central focus, we suggest pairing this design with furniture that has clean, understated lines. Low-profile pieces in pale woods or painted finishes keep the horizontal horizon line visible and balanced.

Natural textures like woven jute, light linen textiles, or simple ceramic accents complement the coastal nature of the scene without competing with the rich aquamarine water. Keeping surrounding decorative elements minimal ensures the calm mood of the artwork carries through the entire space.

Colour combinations

The dominant aquamarine and turquoise blues of the ocean pair naturally with crisp white or warm off-white on adjacent walls, keeping the overall room feeling open and light.

For accent colours in textiles or accessories, you can draw from the soft pink and lilac tones in the sky, or echo the warm amber and brown patterning of the turtle's shell through natural timber accents, rattan, or warm neutral tones.
