Wallpaper - Ocean Dreams Purple

Designed by Lisa Audit, our Ocean Dreams Purple wallpaper presents a heritage-inspired ceramic tile motif rendered with the soft, fluid character of watercolour painting. An interlocking lattice of pale off-white strapwork frames stylised floral medallions and delicate scrollwork, set against a muted pastel lavender background. The subtle variations in the purple wash lend an artistic, hand-painted appearance while preserving an orderly, balanced rhythm across the wall. Made-to-measure on PVC-free paper with a subtle surface structure, this design brings refined historic pattern into contemporary interiors.

In the room

Because of its geometric grid and rhythmic repeat, we see this pattern working particularly well across complete spaces rather than solely on an isolated accent wall. In an entryway or powder room, the architectural symmetry of the tile layout creates visual order without overwhelming compact proportions. The understated contrast between the lavender tones and soft white motifs ensures the repeat remains light and airy.

We also like using this design in a dressing room, where the decorative Rococo and Regency influences complement wardrobe joinery and vanity areas. On longer walls or interrupted surfaces with doors and mirrors, the repeating medallions maintain their visual coherence, bridging architectural breaks effortlessly.

Styling it

To complement the delicate watercolour tones, we would lean towards interiors that balance historic romance with clean, contemporary silhouettes. Painted woodwork in soft chalky neutrals or muted grey-lavender allows the pattern to blend naturally with the surrounding architecture. Polished nickel, antiqued silver, or subdued brushed brass fixtures offer a crisp contrast that highlights the tile geometry.

When furnishing around this design, we suggest keeping larger upholstered pieces relatively calm and textured, such as woven wool or smooth matte finishes. This lets the intricate strapwork and botanical details take centre stage without competing against heavy textures or clashing prints.

Colour combinations

The palette in our wallpaper centres on soft lavender, lilac, and gentle off-white, with delicate tonal pooling in the background washes. To build a cohesive room scheme, we suggest pairing it with walls or millwork painted in warm alabaster, pale oyster, or soft dove grey to echo the pale latticework.

For a richer contrast, muted plum, dusty amethyst, or deep charcoal accents in picture frames or furniture pieces bring out the darker pigment pools in the motif. If you prefer an understated tonal direction, subtle lilac-greige tones help anchor the pastel character while maintaining a tranquil, sophisticated atmosphere.
