Wallpaper - Ocean Life Whale on White

Designed by Becky Thorns, our Ocean Life Whale on White wallpaper features a large, beautifully illustrated blue whale gliding across a clean white backdrop. The whale is rendered in deep steel blue tones with subtle visual shading and fine line details along its belly, surrounded by delicate, floating pale grey sea sprigs. Its horizontal composition and generous negative space create an open, tranquil feel that lets the magnificent sea creature become a gentle focal point. Like all our wall murals, this design is made-to-measure and printed on PVC-free paper with a subtle surface structure.

In the room

Because the whale spans horizontally across the mural, we find this design works exceptionally well on a wider, uninterrupted feature wall. In a nursery, toddler room, or children's playroom, positioning the mural along the main wall allows the full silhouette of the whale to be appreciated without being cropped by doors or tall wardrobes.

It also adapts charmingly to a family bathroom or kids' bedroom, where the crisp white background maintains a bright and airy atmosphere. If you are placing furniture along the wall, such as a cot, low toy storage, or a child's bed, the elevated position of the whale's body ensures that the central artwork remains clearly visible above lower furnishings.

Styling it

We like pairing this wallpaper with light, natural finishes and uncluttered Scandinavian-inspired decor. Pale birch or ash furniture complements the clean aesthetic, keeping the space feeling fresh and calm.

To maintain the gentle rhythm of the design, we suggest keeping surrounding accessories simple. Crisp white or soft blue bedding and curtains harmonise naturally with the artwork, while subtle woven baskets can add gentle texture without competing with the bold illustration.

Colour combinations

The wallpaper is anchored by deep steel blue and soft ocean tones set against a crisp white ground, accented by pale silvery-grey botanical details.

When choosing paint colours for adjoining walls, woodwork, or built-in shelving, we recommend matching the clean background white for a seamless look, or picking up the steel blue in a muted, desaturated tone for a cosy accent. Soft, warm neutrals and gentle coastal greys also blend effortlessly with the palette.
