Wallpaper - Catch of the Day VIII

Our Catch of the Day VIII wallpaper, created by Yvette St. Amant, pairs a vibrant fish illustration with a classic fishing lure against a clean white backdrop. The fish is rendered with a rich green body, bright blue and orange accents, and fine black speckling that gives the form a lively, painted feel. Above it, the lure introduces a crisp hit of red and white detail, creating a balanced visual rhythm with a mid-century, screenprint-inspired character. It is an expressive motif that brings an outdoorsy spirit into the home without overwhelming the wall. Made to measure on our PVC-free paper with a subtle surface structure, this wallpaper is simple to hang and easy to place as a distinct focal point.

In the room

We see this design working particularly well in spaces dedicated to leisure, hobbies, or relaxed gatherings. In a den, study, or home office, it functions brilliantly as an accent wall behind a desk or reading chair, giving the room a defined character while keeping the white background open and airy. For a living room, hobby room, or lakeside cabin retreat, placing the design on a feature wall allows the detailed artwork to stand out without competing with surrounding architectural features. Because the motif is set against crisp white space, it keeps the room feeling light, making it suitable for both compact studies and larger, open-plan living areas where you want an engaging focal point.

Styling it

To complement the retro, outdoor-inspired character of our mural wallpapers, we would lean into warm, relaxed furnishings that balance the graphic nature of the print. Natural materials like warm mid-tone woods or vintage-inspired timber furniture pair beautifully with the heritage feel of the illustration. We would keep large upholstered pieces relatively understated in texture and tone, allowing the playful details in the fish and lure to draw the eye. Simple iron or muted metal hardware can also ground the design, creating a classic, well-curated look that feels gathered over time rather than overly styled.

Colour combinations

The design itself is grounded in an earthy palette of rich sage and olive greens, accented by pops of bright blue, energetic orange, warm red, and black on a clean white background. When decorating around this wallpaper, we recommend echoing these tones across adjacent walls or woodwork. A muted sage or soft off-white on neighbouring walls helps integrate the white backdrop naturally into the room. If you prefer deeper contrast, pairing the wallpaper with forest green painted panelling or dark navy accents draws out the detailed coloration in the fish's fins and scales.
