Wallpaper - Stripy Gingham, Marine

Our Stripy Gingham, Marine wallpaper, designed by RNM Arts, brings a relaxed, textile-inspired rhythm to the wall through an organic take on classic check. Built from layered, finely hatched lines in varying tones of marine blue, indigo, and soft sky blue, the pattern avoids rigid geometry in favour of gentle hand-drawn character. The intersecting lines create subtle depth and tonal variation across the surface, giving the repeat an airy, welcoming feel. Like all Wallism mural wallpapers, this design is made-to-measure and printed on PVC-free paper with a subtle physical structure that is straightforward to hang.

In the room

We see this design working beautifully across an entire bedroom or living space, where the soft blue grid can wrap the room without overwhelming it. Because the lines are slightly irregular and hand-drawn in appearance, the pattern feels gentle and informal rather than stiffly architectural. It sits comfortably behind a low bed frame or along a hallway, creating continuous visual interest that feels light and balanced. In smaller spaces like a nursery, study, or dressing room, the repeating checks add structure while keeping the overall atmosphere bright and calm.

Styling it

To complement the relaxed coastal and country character of the motif, we suggest pairing the wallpaper with simple, grounding elements:

• Choose painted furniture in off-white, crisp chalk tones, or deep navy to echo the linework without competing with the grid.
• Bring in natural warm timber pieces, such as pale birch or mellow pine, to balance the cool marine tones with subtle warmth.
• Layer in plain, slubby fabrics like washed cotton or unbleached canvas on bedding and upholstery to enhance the visual texture of the design.

Colour combinations

The wallpaper centres on a maritime palette of deep indigo, soft slate, and pale watery blue against a clean, light base. When choosing surrounding wall colours and paint for woodwork, soft off-whites with neutral undertones keep the overall look fresh and bright. For a bolder, more enveloping treatment on skirting boards or adjacent doors, a deep marine navy draws direct inspiration from the darkest cross-hatched lines. Muted sand, warm stone, or pale biscuit shades also work exceptionally well on larger furniture pieces to provide a gentle earthy contrast to the cool blues.
