Wallpaper - Seafood Shanty Blue V

Designed by Anne Tavoletti, our Seafood Shanty Blue V wallpaper brings a bold maritime rhythm to the wall through horizontal rows of interlocking anchor chains. Crisp white and vibrant red chain links alternate across a rich cobalt blue background, with visible watercolour washes and hand-drawn black outlines giving the geometric stripe structure an artisanal, painted look. Printed as custom-made wall murals tailored to your exact measurements, our mural wallpapers are PVC-free and crafted on paper with a subtle surface texture that is straightforward to hang.

In the room

We see this wallpaper working especially well in an entryway, mudroom, or home office where its clean graphic stripe and nautical energy can set a decisive tone. In a hallway or mudroom, the strong horizontal alignment helps guide the eye along the space, making narrower corridors feel visually broader. Because the chain pattern has clear definition and high contrast, we like using it on a feature wall behind a desk in a study, or wrapping all walls in a compact boot room for an enveloping, classic coastal feel.

Styling it

To balance the crisp lines and bold palette of the wallpaper, we would combine it with simple, grounded furnishings:

• Introduce warm, natural wood finishes such as honey-toned pine, white oak, or weathered timber benches to soften the strong primary contrast.
• Pair with clean white architectural trim, classic beadboard panelling, or muted navy cabinetry to let the red and white links stand out naturally.
• Add nautical or utilitarian hardware in matte black, antique bronze, or brushed brass to echo the linear ink work in the design.

Colour combinations

Our wallpaper centres on a deep cobalt blue field, punctuated by bright signal red and stark white chain links outlined in fine black line work. When considering paint colours for surrounding woodwork and adjacent walls, a warm off-white or soft linen creates a clean backdrop that lets the motif take focus. For a moodier, tonal palette, deep navy or slate blue paint on doors and skirting creates a seamless look, while small accents in warm rust or cherry red pick up the watercolour tones in the chain links.
