Sea Life Wallpaper

Ten sea-life wallpapers: engraved fish and curling octopus arms on pale seafoam, turtles gliding past coral fans on an aqua wash, etched shells and seahorses on faded ivory, shoals of swirl-patterned fish on slate blue, and the trout that live in rivers rather than the sea. Coastal without a single anchor motif.

Choosing sea life wallpaper

Where it works

Bathrooms, obviously, and after that the children's bedroom, the boot room and the loo by the back door. Teal Turtle, turtles and coral fans on a watercolour aqua wash, and Turtle Shore, etched shells and seahorses on faded ivory, are the family bathroom pair. Cyan Octopus, engraved fish with an octopus reaching in at the corners, is the one for a downstairs loo where people will stop and look. Scallop Shoal in grey, charcoal and blush is neutral enough for a grown-up bathroom or a hallway.

Picking between the designs

Salt or fresh. The sea designs are Cyan Octopus, Teal Turtle, Turtle Shore, Ocean Shoal with swirl-filled fish on slate blue-grey, Scallop Shoal, Silver Shoal and Watercolor Fish, all on pale seafoam, aqua, ivory or grey grounds. The river designs are the trout, Speckled Trout, Painted Trout and Brown Trout, in rows on cream, drier and more countryish. Then the drawing: engraved and etched in Cyan Octopus and Turtle Shore, watercolour in Teal Turtle and Scallop Shoal, pen line in the trout. The engraved designs are the most detailed and suit a small wall; the watercolour ones are softer and can paper a whole bathroom.
