Wallpaper - Seafood Shanty White VI

Designed by Anne Tavoletti, our Seafood Shanty White VI wallpaper brings a vibrant, textile-inspired plaid pattern to the wall. The composition layers painted-looking stripes of poppy red, rich cobalt, and soft cornflower blue across a crisp white backdrop, overlaid with delicate sketched and dashed dark grid lines. What we particularly like is how the translucent, watercolor-like brushwork gives the crisp check a relaxed, handcrafted character rather than a rigid graphic feel. Printed as a made-to-measure, PVC-free mural on paper with a subtle physical structure, this design brings an upbeat, breezy energy to social and family spaces alike.

In the room

In a busy kitchen, breakfast nook, or dining room, our plaid design adds rhythm and character without feeling visually heavy. We see it working exceptionally well around built-in dining benches or on an accent wall behind a family table, where the cheerful check pattern sets an inviting, casual mood. In a playroom, children's bedroom, or teenage room, the lively red and blue bands introduce plenty of playful personality, while the generous white ground keeps the room feeling bright and open. Because the repeat has a clear structural grid, it handles doors, windows, and shelving with ease, making it just as suitable for compact entryways and mudrooms as it is for larger, open-plan living areas.

Styling it

To let the rhythmic plaid take centre stage, we suggest pairing this wallpaper with simple painted furniture in crisp off-white, deep navy, or muted slate blue. Classic shaker-style cabinetry, painted wooden dining chairs, and warm mid-toned timber, such as natural pine or honey-toned ash, balance the bright primaries and bring warmth to the room.

For surrounding textiles and decorative accents, keep materials tactile and understated. Plain woven linens, simple canvas cushions, and glazed ceramic tableware complement the classic coastal and cottage feel without competing with the plaid lines.

Colour combinations

The pattern centres around a clear palette of vibrant red, bright royal blue, sky blue, and fine charcoal lines set over a clean white ground. When choosing paint for neighbouring walls, woodwork, and skirting, a fresh warm white or soft ivory keeps the overall scheme crisp and cohesive. If you want to lean into more contrast, a deep navy blue or a muted denim tone on lower panelling, doors, or kitchen islands will anchor the brighter red and blue stripes beautifully.
