Wallpaper - Dolphins II - Watercolor Spirit Animals Series

In our Dolphins II wallpaper, two leaping dolphins rise gracefully from deep blue ocean waves amid painterly sea spray and splashing water. Created by Wai Collective as part of the Watercolor Spirit Animals Series, the design pairs fluid brushwork with a soft background wash of pastel yellow and light green. The composition balances the dynamic upward leap of the dolphins with an airy, open top section, bringing a bright, storybook character to the wall. Like all Wallism wallpapers, this mural is made-to-measure to fit your exact wall dimensions on PVC-free paper with a subtle surface structure.

In the room

Because the main action of the motif sits across the lower and middle areas with sea spray and leaping forms, we particularly like this design on an open accent wall where the full arc of the jump remains visible. It works naturally in a nursery, toddler room, or children's playroom, adding imaginative movement without overwhelming the room. In a family bathroom or vacation home guest space, the ocean theme creates an inviting focal point behind a basin or along an entryway wall. For rooms with lower ceilings, the vertical rise of the splashing water draws the eye upward, giving the space an open and uplifting feel.

Styling it

We recommend pairing this wallpaper with light, uncomplicated furnishings so the expressive watercolor illustration takes center stage:

• Natural light woods such as birch, light ash, or bleached pine keep the overall room light and harmonise with the soft pastel undertones in the background.
• Crisp white or cream painted furniture, such as a simple crib, low bookshelf, or storage bench, creates a fresh contrast against the rich ocean blues.
• Simple, unpatterned woven textiles like soft cotton throws or plain canvas storage bins let the fluid movement of the waves remain the primary visual pattern.

Colour combinations

Our design centers on rich ocean blues, turquoise water droplets, and deep indigo detailing on the dolphins, balanced by a pale background wash of sunny pastel yellow and soft seafoam green. For surrounding painted walls and woodwork, warm off-whites, pale cream, or soft sandy neutrals tie in effortlessly with the background tones. If you want a slightly bolder, cohesive look across adjacent walls or built-in cabinetry, a muted duck-egg blue or pale pastel aqua draws directly from the gentle water tones without competing with the darker blue waves.
