Wallpaper - Angling in the Stream II

Our Angling in the Stream II wallpaper mural features a striking illustrated trout composed with collage-like newsprint texturing, mottled emerald and olive green tones, warm ochre speckles, and soft coral-pink accents along the belly and fins. Created by Courtney Prahl, the artwork centres on a single detailed fish silhouette set against a clean, pale off-white backdrop, balancing rustic folk-art charm with a graphic, modern presence. Produced as a made-to-measure, PVC-free wallpaper mural on paper with a subtle surface structure, it brings an artistic, nature-inspired focal point to a room.

In the room

Because the motif is anchored by a large, horizontal focal illustration, we find it works best on an uninterrupted feature wall where the full length of the fish can be seen without heavy visual breaks. In a kitchen, mudroom, or dining space, it introduces an earthy, playful character without overwhelming the room. The generous pale background gives the pattern an open, uncluttered feel, allowing it to sit naturally above low cabinetry, a bench, or a dining table where the central artwork remains clearly in view.

Styling it

We like pairing this wallpaper with natural, grounded materials that echo its rustic and artisan character. Simple timber finishes in warm pine, oak, or walnut connect effortlessly with the earthy greens and golden tones in the fish. Unfussy painted furniture, such as classic shaker-style cabinets or a traditional mudroom bench, creates a relaxed cottage feel, while cleaner, streamlined furniture gives the collage style a more contemporary graphic edge. Keeping surrounding wall decor minimal lets the distinctive silhouette serve as the primary artwork in the space.

Colour combinations

The artwork combines rich emerald and mossy greens with mustard yellow spotting, dusky coral pink, and newspaper-print greys against an off-white base. For surrounding walls and woodwork, warm off-white or soft linen shades keep the room bright and let the mural stand out. If you prefer deeper contrast, adjacent walls or painted trim in deep forest green, muted sage, or warm terracotta will draw out the subtle pigment layers within the illustration.
