Wallpaper - Stormy Seas

Our Stormy Seas wallpaper brings together sweeping abstract brushstrokes in shades of deep ocean blue, sky blue, and crisp white. Created by artist Julia Purinton, the design evokes rolling ocean waves or atmospheric cloud banks through visible, layered oil-paint brush marks and rich tonal contrasts. The fluid composition moves horizontally across the surface, balancing energetic paint strokes with an overall calm visual character. Produced custom to your wall dimensions on PVC-free paper with a subtle surface structure, our wallpaper creates an expressive artistic backdrop that feels grounded yet full of motion.

In the room

We see this design working particularly well on a wide, uninterrupted wall in a living room or meditation room where the horizontal sweep of the brushwork has space to unfold. Because the composition carries significant visual movement and deep contrast between dark navy patches and light sky tones, it naturally commands visual focus. Placing it behind a low-profile sofa or on a main accent wall allows the full scale of the painted landscape to be appreciated without tall furniture breaking up the flow of the strokes. In rooms with ample daylight, the subtle transitions between the layered blue tones become especially distinct.

Styling it

To let the expressive brushwork lead the space, we would balance this design with clean-lined contemporary or minimalist furniture. Low, unadorned seating in neutral upholstery keeps the room grounded, while furniture with open silhouettes prevents the deep blue areas from feeling heavy. Natural materials like pale, untreated wood or soft off-white wool provide a quiet, tactile contrast against the painted wall surface. We would avoid competing wall art or overly busy patterned rugs, allowing the mural wallpaper to serve as the single primary pattern in the room.

Colour combinations

The artwork is built around a palette of deep navy, slate, sky blue, and white. To create a cohesive look around our wallpaper, we recommend carrying the lighter off-white and soft greyish tones onto surrounding walls, trim, or window treatments. For furniture and larger decorative pieces, subtle warm neutrals, such as unbleached linen or pale sand, soften the cool blue tones without clashing. If you prefer a richer atmosphere, deep charcoal or muted slate accents will draw out the darker brushstrokes found throughout the composition.
