Swimming with a Whale

Swimming with a Whale by Bea Muller is a dreamy and calming illustrated poster that invites you into an underwater world filled with curiosity, movement and quiet wonder. The motif captures a gentle moment beneath the ocean surface, where a whale swims peacefully among colourful fish, soft plants and floating light. The illustration feels both playful and soothing, making it a perfect choice for spaces where calm and imagination go hand in hand.

The colour palette is built around deep green and teal tones, balanced with soft blues, warm coral accents and small pops of yellow and pink. This combination creates depth without heaviness and gives the poster a calm, flowing expression. The gentle contrasts make Swimming with a Whale easy to style in modern Scandinavian interiors, where colour is used thoughtfully and with intention.

This poster works beautifully in a kids’ room, where the playful underwater theme sparks imagination while maintaining a calm atmosphere. It’s equally well suited for a bedroom, where the soft colours and slow movement of the motif support rest and relaxation. In a living room, the poster adds personality and storytelling without overpowering the space, and in a hallway it creates a welcoming and slightly magical first impression.

Swimming with a Whale is available in A4, 30×40 cm and 50×70 cm, making it easy to adapt to different walls and layouts. A4 is ideal for shelves, small walls or as part of a gallery wall. The 30×40 cm size works well as a single statement piece, while 50×70 cm allows the underwater scene to fully unfold and become a calm focal point in the room.

For framing, light oak frames highlight the natural, organic feel of the illustration and complement the green and blue tones beautifully. White frames create a clean and airy look, perfect for children’s rooms or light interiors, while black frames add contrast and give the poster a more graphic expression.

All Hello Poster prints are printed in Denmark on high-quality art paper, ensuring a matte finish, rich colours and fine details. Swimming with a Whale is designed to bring calm, curiosity and a sense of gentle adventure into everyday homes.

How to hang your poster – simple and stylish tips

Getting a poster to hang perfectly is all about the small details. Start by choosing the right height — as a general rule, the center of the poster should sit around 145–155 cm (57–61 inches) from the floor, placing it naturally at eye level. Pick a frame that complements both the artwork and the room, and take a moment to measure so everything hangs straight.

Consider the lighting too: natural light makes colours appear vibrant, but avoid direct sunlight to keep the print looking beautiful for years. If you're hanging multiple posters together, begin from the center and keep the spacing consistent for a clean, balanced look.

It's the little adjustments that make all the difference — creating a refined and well-composed result.

Hang your poster with no measuring stress

Use painter's tape for a quick and perfectly straight result:

1. Hold your frame against the wall where you want it.
2. Place a strip of painter's tape along the top edge of the frame.
3. Mark exactly where the nail or screw should go.
4. Remove the tape and stick it onto the wall — perfectly level.
5. Hammer the nail into the marked spot.
6. Remove the tape and hang your poster.

A simple method for a clean, perfectly aligned poster — every time.
