Wallpaper - Fish Checkers, Blue

Our Fish Checkers, Blue wallpaper pairs a crisp checkerboard layout with playful aquatic illustrations by RNM Arts. The design alternates between solid navy blue blocks and clean white squares, with each white tile featuring a cheerful blue fish accented by lighter spots and floating bubbles. The flat graphic illustration style and high-contrast palette give the repeat an energetic, structured rhythm that feels both orderly and fun. Like all Wallism wallpapers, this design is made-to-measure to fit your wall dimensions and printed on PVC-free paper with a subtle surface texture.

In the room

We love seeing this pattern used in spaces dedicated to younger family members, such as a children's bedroom, toddler room, nursery, or playroom. The geometric grid keeps the lively fish motifs feeling organised, which allows it to work equally well across all four walls of a compact play area or as a vibrant accent wall behind a low cot or storage bench. In a family bathroom, the marine theme adds a charming character while maintaining a crisp, clean appearance. Because the pattern relies on a defined checkerboard scale, it retains its visual clarity on both wide, uninterrupted walls and smaller surfaces broken up by doors or shelving.

Styling it

The bold graphic quality of the navy and white checkerboard means the surrounding room elements can remain simple and grounded.

• Pair the navy tones with warm natural wood furniture, such as birch, beech, or ash, to bring balance and warmth to the cool blue palette.
• Introduce soft, plain cotton or linen textiles in off-white, light sky blue, or muted chambray to complement the aquatic theme without competing with the checkerboard grid.
• Choose simple, rounded furniture silhouettes with clean lines to echo the curved shapes of the illustrated fish and bubbles.

Colour combinations

The foundation of the wallpaper combines a deep navy blue and a bright white, supported by lighter blue tones in the fish bodies and decorative bubbles. When painting adjacent walls or woodwork, a crisp soft white or a delicate chalky off-white will keep the room feeling bright and open. If you prefer a richer, more enveloping feel, painting the surrounding skirting boards, doors, or built-in cabinetry in a matching dark navy blue creates a handsome, cohesive frame. For subtle accent touches through decorative items or soft furnishings, soft muted blues and pale denim tones connect naturally with the aquatic motifs.
