Wallpaper - Seafood Shanty Blue VI

Created by Anne Tavoletti, our Seafood Shanty Blue VI wallpaper brings a fresh, vibrant rhythm to a classic woven plaid aesthetic. The composition layers deep cobalt and navy blue bands against bold coral-red stripes, punctuated by crisp white dashed line work that gives the visual impression of hand-stitched detailing. This graphic grid has an energetic balance, combining heritage textile structure with a playful, modern spirit. Printed to order as made-to-measure wallpaper on PVC-free paper with a subtle surface structure, it is straightforward to hang and adds an instant focal point to any interior.

In the room

We see this design working particularly well in spaces that welcome a punch of colour and clear geometry. In a teenage room, study, or bedroom, the pattern makes an expressive statement on a feature wall behind a bed or desk, grounding the space without overwhelming it. Because the plaid repeat is structured and balanced, it also suits a cosy den or living room where you want to introduce visual character across a primary accent wall. In rooms with plenty of natural daylight, the contrast between the saturated blue base and the bright red stripes really comes alive.

Styling it

Because the wallpaper has a strong graphic identity, we suggest keeping the surrounding furniture relatively understated in form. Clean-lined modern pieces or relaxed mid-century silhouettes work nicely alongside the grid pattern.

For surrounding materials, warm wood tones such as oak or mid-toned ash balance the coolness of the cobalt blue, while painted furniture in muted off-white or deep navy helps anchor the room. We would keep large textiles like bedding, rugs, and curtains in solid neutral shades or simple tactile weaves so the wall mural remains the central visual focus.

Colour combinations

The wallpaper is built on a bold palette of cobalt blue, dark navy, coral red, and bright white. When planning your surrounding décor, you can take a few complementary routes:

Pairing adjacent walls with crisp white or soft chalky off-white will make the plaid pattern pop and keep the room feeling bright and open. Alternatively, painting nearby walls or woodwork in a deep navy creates an enveloping, tailored atmosphere where the red accents take centre stage. For soft furnishings, introducing touches of muted terracotta or warm coral can subtly tie back into the stripe detailing.
