Wallpaper - Laying Out Blue

Designed by Mary Urban, our Laying Out Blue wallpaper pairs an orderly geometric trellis structure with the softer, painted character of watercolour brushwork. Crisp white lattice lines cross in clean diagonal squares against a deep navy blue background, creating a bold and refined pattern with an architectural cadence. The hand-painted look softens the precision of the geometry, bringing visual warmth and movement across the surface. Like all Wallism wallpapers, this design is custom made-to-measure for your dimensions, printed on PVC-free paper with a subtle surface texture, and straightforward to hang.

In the room

We see this design bringing structure and character to a home study, library, or hallway. In a study, the crisp diagonal lines create a tailored backdrop behind a desk or open shelving, giving the space an organised, grounded feel without overwhelming it. The bold contrast between the deep navy ground and bright white grid also works especially well in transitional spaces like hallways and staircases, where the geometric rhythm can lead the eye smoothly along longer wall areas. Because the lattice pattern repeats seamlessly, it sits comfortably on a single accent wall or wrapped around an entire room.

Styling it

To complement the classic feel of the trellis motif, we would look to traditional or heritage-inspired interior elements. Warm wood tones, such as mid-tone walnut or vintage oak furniture, provide a natural counterweight to the deep blue backdrop. Polished or antique brass fixtures and hardware add a refined, bright contrast alongside the white lines of the pattern. Keeping large upholstered pieces in quiet, tailored neutrals allows the graphic geometry of our mural wallpapers to take centre stage without competing for attention.

Colour combinations

The wallpaper is defined by its deep navy blue base and soft white lattice work. For adjoining walls and painted woodwork, an off-white or muted warm cream echoes the lighter brushwork and keeps the space open. If you prefer a moodier, enveloping palette, pairing the design with rich slate blue, deep indigo, or dark charcoal grey trim creates a cohesive and immersive environment. Accents in soft amber, ochre, or saddle leather also sit naturally against the deep blue tone.
