Wallpaper - Dolphins - Spirit Animals Series

Our Dolphins wallpaper brings together two leaping dolphins framed by fluid watercolour splashes and soft washes of blue, peach, yellow, and subtle green. Designed by Wai Collective, the motif captures an uplifting sense of movement through loose, expressive paint strokes against an open, pale backdrop. The balance between the defined silhouettes of the dolphins and the spontaneous colour splatters gives this design a lighthearted, artistic presence on the wall. Produced made-to-measure on PVC-free paper with a subtle surface structure, it offers a distinct, creative look that is straightforward to hang.

In the room

We see this design working especially well in spaces meant for play, rest, and imagination. In a nursery or a young child's bedroom, placing the wallpaper along a primary feature wall behind a cot or low bed allows the dynamic arch of the leaping dolphins to anchor the space without overwhelming it. It also suits a playroom where the energetic brushstrokes and bright splashes complement a creative atmosphere. Because the background remains light and airy, the mural wallpapers work comfortably in both compact rooms and larger open spaces. For a bathroom, the coastal, aquatic theme introduces colour and charm while keeping the surrounding space feeling fresh and bright.

Styling it

To keep the focus on the vibrant watercolour artwork, we suggest pairing this design with simple, light-toned furnishings. Natural pale woods such as birch, ash, or light pine provide a grounded, warm counterpoint to the aquatic palette without competing for visual attention.

Soft textiles in unbleached cotton, plain muslin, or simple woven textures help maintain an uncluttered, gentle aesthetic. Choosing storage boxes, shelving, or wall hooks in clean white or neutral shades lets the movement of the dolphins remain the central feature of the room.

Colour combinations

The pattern centres around fluid shades of ocean blue, grey, warm peach, sunny yellow, and delicate green washes set over a clear, off-white base.

To create a cohesive scheme around our wallpaper, we recommend drawing from the softer tones within the painting. Warm whites and creamy ivories on adjacent walls and woodwork will keep the room bright while matching the light ground of the mural. If you prefer to introduce more depth through accent pieces, soft sea-glass blues, warm peach cushions, or muted golden-yellow accessories tie directly into the splashing watercolour elements.
