Wallpaper - In the Ocean III

Our In the Ocean III wallpaper by Courtney Prahl brings a playful, artistic focal point to the wall through a striking collage-style fish motif. Centred against an off-white background filled with soft vertical stripes and handwritten script, the fish silhouette is assembled from intricate paper cut-outs, musical notes, typography, and patterned swatches in vivid shades of green, turquoise, lime, and deep teal. The graphic clarity of the silhouette balances the fine, layered visual textures inside the shape, creating a whimsical and contemporary statement. Like all our wall murals, this design is made-to-measure and printed on PVC-free paper with a subtle surface structure.

In the room

We see this design working exceptionally well as a feature piece on an open wall in a kitchen or a relaxed dining nook. Because the central collage fish carries so much visual detail, giving it a dedicated wall space where the complete composition is easily appreciated lets the artwork breathe. The pale, handwritten script background creates a quiet backdrop, while the rich green and turquoise tones within the fish bring lively colour and energy into the space without overpowering surrounding walls.

Styling it

To complement the eclectic and creative character of this design, we would keep the surrounding furniture relatively understated and focus on natural textures. Clean cabinetry, open shelving in lighter timber tones, or smooth painted surfaces allow the collage detail of the mural wallpapers to remain the main visual focus. Adding a few fresh potted plants or simple ceramic kitchenware can pick up on the leafy greens and sea-inspired tones in the artwork, tying the whole room together naturally.

Colour combinations

The wallpaper is defined by a vibrant spectrum of greens, teals, and limes contrasted against an antique off-white and soft grey script background. When choosing paint colours for adjoining walls, woodwork, or cabinetry, muted off-whites, creamy neutrals, or soft chalky greys will keep the room light and let the motif stand out. If you prefer a richer, more immersive look, deep forest green or a muted sea-blue on adjacent trims or baseboards can anchor the space and mirror the darker accents inside the fish.
