Wallpaper - Maritime Stars Red on Red

Designed by Daphne Brissonnet, our Maritime Stars Red on Red wallpaper brings a lively nautical character to the wall with illustrated starfish and looped rope knots set against a warm coral background. The motif has a distinct textile-inspired visual character, with textured shading and white outlines that give each element a playful, cut-out appearance. The repeat alternates between larger and smaller starfish across the surface, creating an energetic yet balanced visual rhythm. Like all our wallpapers, this design is made-to-measure to your exact wall dimensions and printed on PVC-free paper with a subtle surface structure.

In the room

We see this design working particularly well in spaces where you want to introduce a cheerful, relaxed mood. In a playroom, toddler room, or children's bedroom, the rhythmic sea motif brings plenty of personality without feeling visually chaotic. The coral-red backdrop provides an enveloping warmth that can easily carry across all four walls in a smaller space, or serve as a vibrant feature wall behind a low bed or shelving unit.

The pattern also feels right at home in a bathroom or downstairs cloakroom, where the maritime theme can be embraced in a bold, expressive way. Because the repeat contains both medium and smaller starfish interspersed with knotted rope motifs, the design adapts comfortably to walls broken up by mirrors, doorways, or vanity units, ensuring the pattern remains readable even across fragmented areas.

Styling it

To let the warm coral tones and illustrated line work stand out, we suggest keeping surrounding large furniture relatively simple and clean-lined.

• Pair the wallpaper with painted furniture in off-white, crisp cream, or pale pebble grey to echo the white highlights in the starfish and rope outlines.
• Choose natural woven textures such as jute, sisal, or unbleached canvas for storage baskets, blinds, or rugs to complement the nautical rope motif without clashing with the pattern.
• Incorporate accents in soft sand, washed denim blue, or light sea-salt tones across cushions and bedspreads to round out a relaxed coastal look.

Colour combinations

The foundation of our wallpaper is a warm, sun-washed coral red, layered with deeper rust tones, soft beige shading, and bright white outlines. When choosing paint for adjoining walls, woodwork, or cornicing, a warm chalky white or muted cream provides a fresh contrast that mirrors the printed outlines in the design.

For a richer coastal palette, you can introduce soft navy or weathered blue accents on joinery, skirting boards, or painted storage. If you prefer a warmer, tonal approach, subtle terracotta, dusty pink, or warm sand tones create a smooth, harmonious transition across the wider space.
