Wallpaper - Shells on the Shore II

Our Shells on the Shore II wallpaper, created by Yvette St. Amant, brings together an assortment of marine motifs in a crisp ink drawing style. At the heart of the coastal composition rests a detailed starfish, surrounded by an arrangement of spiral shells, scallop shells, and twisted conches. Each shell is filled with distinct graphic patterns, from fine stripes and playful polka dots to delicate checkered textures, creating visual depth across the surface. Rendered in soft powder blue against a clean white backdrop, the design maintains an airy, tranquil quality. Made to measure on our PVC-free paper with a subtle surface structure, it offers a fresh, balanced look that is straightforward to hang.

In the room

We love how this coastal illustration introduces graphic detail without overpowering a space. In a bathroom or powder room, the marine theme feels entirely natural, giving smaller walls visual interest while the white background keeps the overall feeling bright and open. The balanced scale of the shells also suits a vacation home bedroom or a guest room, where you might want to create a relaxed, airy atmosphere. Because the composition balances detailed pattern fills with generous negative space, it works nicely across an accent wall behind a bed or framing a vanity area.

Styling it

To complement the light, coastal feel of this design, we suggest pairing it with clean-lined contemporary furniture and simple architectural finishes. Soft white painted woodwork and light-toned furniture allow the blue ink patterns to stand out as the primary visual focus in the room. You can echo the relaxed seaside aesthetic by introducing light woven textures, such as rattan storage baskets or simple linen roman blinds, while avoiding overly busy competing patterns elsewhere in the decor.

Colour combinations

The wallpaper is defined by its clean palette of powder blue and pure white. When choosing surrounding colours for adjoining walls, painted cabinetry, or trims, crisp off-whites and cool chalky neutrals keep the setting feeling fresh and cohesive. For a subtle contrast, soft washed denim tones or deeper maritime blues can be pulled through in small decorative accents, towels, or bed linen to anchor the lighter tones of the motif.
