Wallpaper - Maritime Borders

Designed by Daphne Brissonnet, our Maritime Borders wallpaper brings a fresh, geometric rhythm to the wall through horizontal bands of hand-painted style motifs. The pattern alternates between dense vertical bars, painterly brushstroke stripes, and rows of cobalt, teal, and sky blue squares punctuated with small coral red accents. Fine painted outlines give each geometric element an artisanal, retro character with a playful 1980s Memphis influence. Produced as made-to-measure wallpaper on a PVC-free substrate with a subtle physical paper structure, it is straightforward to hang and creates an engaging visual cadence across the room.

In the room

The distinct horizontal stripes and orderly geometric structure make our Maritime Borders wallpaper particularly effective for framing spaces and adding visual momentum. We especially like this design in a bathroom or a compact laundry room, where the crisp aquatic blues and lively borders inject an energising, playful feel without overwhelming smaller wall areas. The balanced scale of the repeat means it works seamlessly around fixtures, cabinetry, and doorframes, holding its graphic identity even when viewed up close. In larger spaces, the continuous horizontal flow helps guide the eye across the perimeter, making it a great option for a distinctive accent wall.

Styling it

To let the graphic personality of the stripes stand out, we suggest pairing this wallpaper with relatively clean-lined fittings and furniture. Crisp white porcelain, simple matte ceramics, or brushed chrome hardware complement the cool undertones of the blues. If you want to introduce warmer notes, natural ash or light-toned oak provides a gentle organic counterbalance to the painterly geometry. Surrounding fabrics and accessories can either stay quiet in neutral cottons or lean into the playful retro mood with subtle accents that echo the coral red and turquoise details within the print.

Colour combinations

The pattern centres on a dynamic mix of blues, ranging from deep cobalt and rich Mediterranean tones to soft sky blue, aqua, and crisp white, energized by precise pops of warm coral red. For adjacent painted surfaces or wood trim, clean off-white or soft alabaster keeps the look bright and classic. If you prefer a richer tonal setting, pulling out a soft slate blue or muted navy for lower panelling or surrounding walls creates an immersive, coordinated aesthetic while allowing the playful borders to remain the focal point.
