Wallpaper - Fun Sardines I Blue

Our Fun Sardines I Blue wallpaper by designer Becky Thorns pairs a retro graphic tin motif with a crisp blue and white checkered background. The flat, illustrative sardine tin creates a cheerful focal point, balanced by the rhythmic grid structure that runs across the entire surface. With its clean lines, coastal character, and light, breezy palette, this design brings a graphic pop-art feel to any interior. Our wallpapers are made-to-measure to your exact wall dimensions, printed on PVC-free paper with a subtle surface structure, and designed to be straightforward to hang.

In the room

We see this design working especially well in areas dedicated to cooking, dining, and casual entertaining. In a kitchen, pantry, or breakfast nook, the playful food motif naturally complements the space while the structured checkerboard brings order to open wall areas. Because the graphic elements and geometric grid have distinct clarity, the design performs wonderfully on an accent wall behind a dining table or along a pantry corridor. For dining rooms with plenty of daylight, the contrast between the crisp white and clear blue tones feels fresh, open, and full of character.

Styling it

The graphic quality of this design pairs easily with relaxed, practical furnishings. We suggest combining it with clean painted joinery, light timber surfaces, and simple utilitarian silhouettes that let the pattern take center stage. Natural materials like woven rush seating, unglazed ceramics, and simple glassware sit comfortably against the seaside theme without feeling overly themed. In a dining space, keeping surrounding shelving and furniture relatively quiet ensures the sardine graphic and geometric backdrop remain the primary decorative interest.

Colour combinations

The pattern is grounded in a clean palette of bright cobalt blue and fresh white. Around the wallpaper, we recommend continuing with soft off-whites or chalky cream tones on woodwork and adjacent walls to maintain a light, airy feel. For a more graphic look, deep navy accents on cabinetry or dining chairs echo the richer blue line work in the print. Muted terracotta accents, soft sandy neutrals, or touches of unlacquered brass also introduce a warm counterpoint to the cool, fresh blue tones.
