Wallpaper - Blue Fish Studies

Created by Mercedes Lopez Charro, our Blue Fish Studies wallpaper brings together stylized ink-drawn fish swimming against a subtle, dotted textured background. What we particularly like about this design is the balance between the bold, painterly cobalt blue silhouettes and the varied graphic patterns decorating each fish, from scalloped scales to clean stripes and crosshatched grids. The hand-painted character of the strokes gives the entire composition a lively, artistic movement while keeping the overall palette fresh and clear. Made to measure on our PVC-free paper with a subtle paper structure, our mural wallpapers are straightforward to hang across any wall.

In the room

We see this wallpaper working beautifully in spaces where you want to introduce visual energy without overwhelming the room. In a children's bedroom, playroom or nursery, the whimsical sea creatures add a cheerful, storybook presence. It also feels right at home in a family bathroom, downstairs toilet or coastal holiday home, where the aquatic motif naturally connects with the setting. Because the design has a horizontal rhythm with fish of different sizes swimming together, it works especially well on a wide, uninterrupted feature wall behind a bed, a low bench or a toy storage area where the full group remains in view.

Styling it

To keep the focus on the graphic quality of the fish, we suggest pairing this design with simple furniture and light, natural finishes.

• Choose pale or warm timber furniture, such as ash, birch or natural pine, to bring a grounded, earthy warmth that contrasts nicely with the crisp cobalt ink.
• Keep surrounding textiles in solid off-white, oat or subtle denim tones rather than introducing competing geometric patterns.
• Add simple white ceramics or matte accents that echo the crisp, light ground of the wallpaper without adding visual clutter.

Colour combinations

The motif is defined by shades of cobalt and navy blue painted against a light, off-white background with soft, light-blue stippled dots. When decorating around this wallpaper, we recommend matching adjacent walls and woodwork with a soft, clean white or a gentle chalky cream to keep the room bright and open. If you prefer more depth, a deep navy or marine blue on surrounding joinery or skirting creates a striking, cohesive frame that draws out the darker ink tones. For subtle accents, muted sand, warm biscuit or soft denim blue work harmoniously without distracting from the main design.
