Wallpaper - Maritime XIV

Created by Daphne Brissonnet, our Maritime XIV wallpaper brings a lively nautical character to the wall through circular compass motifs and coastal treasures. Each large medallion combines mosaic-like geometric details, rope outlines, and directional compass points framing starfish, scallop shells, sea biscuits, and nautilus shells. The painted watercolour appearance softens the crisp lines against a rich, deep navy blue background. Printed made-to-measure on PVC-free paper with a subtle surface structure, this design brings together classic maritime iconography with fresh visual energy.

In the room

We see this wallpaper working especially well in a bathroom, guest cloakroom, or a bright garden room where its marine theme feels right at home. Because each medallion carries generous scale and clear detail, giving the pattern an uninterrupted wall allows the complete circular compositions to show clearly. In a family bathroom or downstairs toilet, installing the design behind a vanity mirror creates a striking focal point with plenty of personality. In a coastal holiday home or pool house, wrapping the pattern around a dedicated dressing nook or entryway wall introduces an upbeat maritime atmosphere from the moment you step inside.

Styling it

The distinct geometry and clean navy background make this design simple to balance with surrounding interior elements. We would keep the main furniture lines clean and uncomplicated, allowing the expressive wall murals to lead the space. Fresh painted woodwork in off-white or soft cream echoes the bright outlines of the medallions without competing with their graphic clarity.

To complement the nautical palette, pair the wallpaper with natural woven materials such as rattan baskets, jute runners, or light timber accents. For fittings, polished chrome or brushed nickel provides a crisp, maritime-inspired contrast against the deep blue, while brushed brass can bring out the warmer coral and sandy notes in the starfish motifs.

Colour combinations

Our design is built on an oceanic palette of rich navy blue, cerulean, turquoise, and crisp white, punctuated by warm coral red and sandy beige accents. When selecting paint colours for adjoining walls, doors, or skirting boards, a clean chalk white or soft coastal cream creates a sharp, fresh boundary that makes the blue pop.

If you prefer a deeper, more cocooning scheme, matching neighbouring woodwork or cabinetry to the background navy creates seamless continuity. For smaller accents in towels, ceramics, or upholstery, picking up on the turquoise wash or the coral starfish tones ties the whole room together naturally.
