Wallpaper - Pork Fish

Our Pork Fish wallpaper captures three distinct pork fish drifting across a softly mottled underwater backdrop, rendered in the classic style of nineteenth-century natural history illustration. What we particularly like about this design is the contrast between the fine, scientific linework and the warm watercolour tones, where vivid yellow bodies and crisp blue and black stripes stand out against smoky, earthy shadows. Printed as custom made wall murals on PVC-free paper with a subtle surface structure, this design brings a rich sense of heritage, curiosity, and artistic character to any interior.

In the room

We see this design working especially well in spaces where an unusual, illustrative accent can become an immediate talking point. In a bathroom, powder room, or guest bathroom, the marine motif feels completely natural while offering a sophisticated departure from conventional coastal patterns. Because the composition features three gracefully placed fish swimming against an atmospheric, misty background, it works brilliantly on a main feature wall in a study, home office, or library. In an entryway or hallway, placing this wallpaper on an uninterrupted wall creates an intriguing welcome, drawing the eye into the fine detail of each illustrated fin and scale.

Styling it

To complement the vintage character of our mural wallpapers, we would lean towards traditional or eclectic heritage interiors. Warm, dark wood furniture such as an antique desk or open shelving pairs naturally with the earthy depths of the background, anchoring the room without competing with the illustration.

For surrounding accents, aged brass lighting or hardware echoes the warm golden yellows in the fish, adding a touch of understated warmth. Keeping nearby upholstery and curtains relatively quiet in texture and tone ensures the detailed linework of the artwork remains the central visual focus of the space.

Colour combinations

The wallpaper is defined by a striking palette of vibrant ochre yellow, soft silvery blues, and deep charcoal black, all set over a smoky blend of muted slate, mauve-grey, and pale sky tones.

When choosing paint colours for adjacent walls, woodwork, or cornicing, we recommend working with these underlying neutrals. A soft, warm off-white or stony grey on surrounding surfaces keeps the room open and airy while letting the golden yellow tones pop. If you prefer a richer, more enveloping feel, drawing out the deep slate grey or moody charcoal from the shadowed backdrop creates a dramatic, cohesive setting.
