Wallpaper - Green Oceans

Created by artist Courtney Prahl, our Green Oceans wallpaper brings a charming collage-style sea turtle to the wall. The turtle’s shell is composed of patterned hexagonal segments featuring vintage typography, numbering, delicate floral motifs, and foliage prints in a palette of avocado, moss, and earthy greens. Set against a light, softly striped background overlaid with vintage cursive script, this design has an artistic, storybook character that feels both playful and calm. Our mural wallpapers are made to measure to your wall dimensions on PVC-free paper with a subtle surface structure.

In the room

Because the sea turtle forms a distinct, illustrative focal point, we like this design best on a prominent feature wall where its detailed collage work can be appreciated up close. In a children's bedroom or playroom, it adds a creative, whimsical presence without overwhelming the space with overly bright colours. The muted earthy green tones also make it surprisingly versatile in adult spaces; we can easily see it bringing character to a home office, a relaxed living room, or a creative study.

In spaces with generous natural daylight, the fine cursive script and layered printed textures across the backdrop remain crisp and clear. If you are placing it behind a bed or low desk, consider keeping the wall relatively open so the turtle motif remains unobstructed.

Styling it

The mixed-media look of the artwork pairs naturally with simple, unpretentious interior choices that let the graphic collage stand out.

We would combine this wallpaper with mid-tone or light timber furniture, such as natural pine, ash, or birch, to support the organic, earthy feel of the green palette. Soft furnishings in muted linen or unbleached cotton help keep the surrounding space calm and grounded. To maintain visual balance, choose mostly solid colours or very understated textures for surrounding rugs and bedding, allowing the typography and botanical snippets within the turtle motif to remain the main decorative element in the room.

Colour combinations

The core palette of our design relies on varied shades of green, including rich avocado, olive, moss, and deep forest tones, contrasted with warm cream and soft charcoal script in the background.

When choosing paint colours for adjoining walls and woodwork, warm off-white or soft linen shades provide a clean, harmonious transition that echoes the background parchment tone. If you prefer a more enveloping look, pulling a muted olive or sage green from the turtle’s shell onto the surrounding trim or a neighbouring accent wall ties the whole scheme together beautifully.
