Wallpaper - Nautical Friends Anchors of Fun

Illustrated by Moira Hershey, our Nautical Friends Anchors of Fun wallpaper brings a charming storybook aesthetic to children's spaces. The design features a friendly octopus wearing a small sailor hat, playfully wrapped around a large maritime anchor alongside swimming fish, bubbles, and a nautical rope border. Set against a light wood-grain textured background with the phrase "anchors aweigh!", the artwork uses a soft palette of avocado green, muted sea blue, and warm neutrals. Made to measure and completely PVC-free, our wallpaper paper has a subtle structure that complements the illustrated print character.

In the room

We see this design working naturally as an accent wall in a nursery or toddler room. Because the central illustration forms a complete framed vignette, it benefits from an uninterrupted wall area where the full character and anchor can be seen without tall wardrobes cutting across the composition. Placing this wall mural behind a cot, low toddler bed, or reading nook keeps the visual storytelling at an engaging height for little ones. The gentle, muted tones keep the overall room calm rather than overly busy, making it easy to live with across multiple years.

Styling it

To complement the gentle nautical theme, we would pair our mural wallpapers with simple, light-toned wooden furniture and understated textiles. Pale birch, beech, or white-painted storage pieces keep the surrounding space bright and airy without competing with the illustration.

For soft furnishings, simple woven cottons in oat, sand, or soft chambray blue echo the maritime details. We suggest keeping nearby storage low and tidy, perhaps using natural canvas bins or woven baskets, to leave the central illustration open and easy to view.

Colour combinations

The wallpaper is grounded in soft avocado green, dusty sea blue, pale yellow, and weathered brown rope tones against an off-white background. When choosing paint colours for adjoining walls and woodwork, warm whites and pale chalky creams offer a seamless, bright backdrop. If you prefer more colour in the room, a muted sea-glass blue or a soft sage green taken from the octopus and anchor palette will tie the entire space together harmoniously.
