Japanese wave wallpaper – too specific?

I love Japanese-style art and was thinking of using a wave pattern wallpaper somewhere in the house, maybe in a hallway or meditation corner. But I’m not sure if it might look too themed or specific. Anyone tried something similar and made it work in a modern home?

I totally get that concern, but I ended up using the Japanese Waves Abstract Wallpaper from California Wallpaper and it blended into my space beautifully. The wave motif is traditional, but the way it’s stylized here feels really clean and modern. I used it in a small hallway nook with light wood and a couple of indoor plants, and it turned into this calming, artful little area. The blue is soft, not overpowering, and the movement in the pattern makes the space feel dynamic. Here’s the one I used: https://california-wallpaper.com/products/japanese-waves-abstract-w... – definitely gives off a zen-like vibe without going full “theme room.” Recommend it 100%.
