Wallpaper - Fun Sardines IV

Our Fun Sardines IV wallpaper by Becky Thorns brings graphic character and coastal charm to the wall with three stylized fish arranged against a blue grid. The design has a distinctive mid-century screenprint appearance, pairing bold outlines and white sticker-like borders with lively turquoise, pink, and bright red tones. The horizontal alignment of the swimming sardines creates a clear visual rhythm that feels graphic, structured, and playful all at once. Produced as made-to-measure mural wallpapers on PVC-free paper with a subtle surface structure, our wallpapers are straightforward to hang and make an eye-catching statement in any living space.

In the room

We love how this design brings an instant sense of personality to social and creative areas of the home. It is particularly well suited to a kitchen, a downstairs bathroom or powder room, or a bright holiday home where its nautical theme adds an unexpected, design-led twist. In a children's playroom or hobby room, the vibrant fish shapes introduce color and movement without feeling overly busy.

Because the three sardines have a strong horizontal presence across the grid, we recommend giving this wallpaper a clear, central wall area where the full composition can be appreciated. It works wonderfully as a feature wall above kitchen counters or opposite an entryway, where the bold colors set an upbeat, welcoming tone.

Styling it

The graphic, 1950s-inspired look of this pattern pairs naturally with mid-century modern and playful contemporary interiors. We suggest keeping surrounding furniture relatively clean and unfussy so the fish motif remains the primary focal point of the room.

• Pair with light or medium warm wood finishes, such as birch or teak, to balance the cool blue background with natural warmth.
• Introduce crisp white or matte black accents in hardware, lighting, or picture frames to echo the graphic line work within the print.
• Use simple, unpatterned ceramics or tableware in complementary tones to let the wallpaper carry the pattern in the space.

Colour combinations

The palette of our wallpaper is anchored by a vibrant blue grid background, accented with deep navy, minty turquoise, soft pink, coral red, and crisp white outlines. When styling the surrounding room, you can draw directly from these tones to create a cohesive interior.

For adjacent painted walls and woodwork, a clean warm white or an off-white keeps the room feeling light, airy, and fresh. If you want a more immersive, graphic look, consider carrying a matching cobalt or marine blue onto surrounding trim or cabinetry. Warm terracotta, pale coral, or soft sage accents in small decorative objects also tie into the fish tones beautifully without overwhelming the space.
