Wallpaper - Ocean Life

Designed by Becky Thorns, our Ocean Life wallpaper brings a gentle underwater world to life with stylized marine illustrations set against a soft cream backdrop. At the center swims a magnificent blue whale, surrounded by sea turtles, sharks, seahorses, and an assortment of curious fish gliding between subtle seaweed sprigs. The ink-drawn textures and muted teal, ocean blue, slate grey, and warm ochre tones give this design a calm, whimsical character that feels both playful and refined. Printed to your exact dimensions, our PVC-free wallpapers feature a subtle surface texture on the paper and are straightforward to hang.

In the room

We love this wallpaper design as an engaging focal point in a nursery, toddler room, or children's playroom. Because the large whale anchors the composition with smaller creatures floating around it, the mural wallpaper works wonderfully on a main feature wall behind a crib, low bed, or reading nook. The open spacing between the illustrated sea life ensures the pattern never feels overwhelming, even in more compact bedrooms. For a family bathroom, it adds a charming aquatic theme that sparks imagination while maintaining a clean, tranquil atmosphere.

Styling it

To keep the focus on the delightful underwater artwork, pair the wallpaper with simple Scandinavian or contemporary children's furniture. Natural birch or light ash tones complement the warm cream background, while painted white or soft grey storage units blend seamlessly into the room. Keep textiles understated with solid linen bedding or simple woven cotton blankets in pale sea-glass blues, soft oatmeals, or warm terracotta accents that echo the seahorses.

Colour combinations

The artwork features a harmonious mix of deep marine blues, soft teal, slate grey, and subtle ochre accents over a warm off-white ground. For adjacent walls, we suggest muted warm whites, chalky creams, or a gentle dusty blue that picks up on the whale's shading. If you want a bit more contrast, deeper blue-grey or muted sage green trim around doors and baseboards will handsomely frame the wall mural.
