Wallpaper - Seafood Shanty Red I

Designed by Anne Tavoletti, our Seafood Shanty Red I wallpaper reimagines a classic nautical rope trellis with a fresh, artistic watercolour look. Broad diagonal bands formed from individual brushstroke dashes criss-cross over an off-white ground, creating a graphic diamond grid with generous open space between the lines. The cherry red palette shifts across the painted marks from rich crimson to softer, translucent coral tones, giving the geometric repeat a lively, fluid rhythm. Produced made-to-measure on our PVC-free paper with a subtle surface texture, this design brings a vibrant, maritime-inspired energy to any interior.

In the room

Because the trellis repeat has a confident scale and bold diagonal movement, we find it works particularly well where the pattern has space to breathe. In a creative home studio or a lively teenage bedroom, it makes an energetic backdrop on a main feature wall, such as behind a desk or bed. The open white diamonds keep the red bands from feeling too heavy, allowing the design to sit comfortably across a wider uninterrupted wall without overwhelming the space.

Styling it

To balance the crisp geometric layout and vibrant red brushwork, we like pairing this wallpaper with clean-lined furniture and warm natural finishes. Simple painted furniture in off-white or soft cream echoes the background tone, while warm wood accents ground the high-contrast pattern. Keeping surrounding decor relatively calm lets the graphic rope motif remain the central decorative feature of the room.

Colour combinations

Our wallpaper centres on a vibrant cherry red against a soft, warm off-white backdrop, with subtle variations of rose and deeper crimson throughout the painted marks. For adjoining painted walls, skirting, or built-in joinery, we suggest matching the creamy off-white background to maintain an airy, cohesive flow. If you want to introduce contrasting accents in surrounding textiles or upholstery, crisp navy, coastal blues, or warm sand tones sit naturally against the nautical red.
