Wallpaper - Coastal Critters II

Created by Farida Zaman, this maritime design centres on a hand-drawn shrimp illustration framed by a bold checkered border and a crisp red inner line. With its painted-looking linework set against an off-white background, our wallpaper captures the graphic charm of traditional decorative tiles and classic coastal folk art. Like all our wall murals, it is made-to-measure for your dimensions on PVC-free paper with a subtle physical surface structure, making it straightforward to hang.

In the room

We see this design working especially well in spaces where you want to introduce a touch of seaside personality without overwhelming the room. In a kitchen, pantry, or breakfast nook, the tile-inspired composition creates an inviting, traditional feel around open shelving or dining areas. It is equally suited to a powder room or guest bathroom, where the crisp framing brings clarity and visual structure to smaller, compact wall areas. In a hallway, entryway, or summer house dining room, the clean graphic lines provide an engaging focal point that feels light and characterful.

Styling it

The graphic quality of this wallpaper pairs naturally with traditional cottage, New England, or classic coastal interior styles. We suggest combining it with clean, painted joinery such as beadboard panelling, off-white shaker cabinetry, or soft navy woodwork to echo the framed composition. Simple ceramic tableware, unvarnished natural light wood finishes, and textured woven accents complement the folk-art character without competing with the bold borders.

Colour combinations

Our wallpaper uses an off-white cream base layered with maritime blue ink linework, a deep navy checkered outer edge, and a fine red accent border. Around the wallpaper, we recommend matching surrounding trim and woodwork with soft warm whites, crisp ivory, or chalky navy. For adjacent painted surfaces or decorative accents, muted terracotta, vermilion, or natural sandy neutrals pick up the warm red detail and balance the cool blue tones.
