Wallpaper - Great Barrier Reef

Our Great Barrier Reef wallpaper brings a playful aquatic motif to life with hand-painted watercolor character. Set against a clean white backdrop, charming illustrated fish swim across the surface in soft shades of coral pink, pastel lavender, warm blush, and touches of sunny ochre yellow. The airy spacing between the swimming fish creates a rhythmic, open repeat that feels light and whimsical rather than overcrowded. Made-to-measure on our PVC-free paper with a subtle physical surface structure, this design brings a gentle coastal story to any wall.

In the room

We see this design working beautifully in nurseries, children's bedrooms, toddler rooms, and playrooms where its gentle illustrated nature creates a lighthearted atmosphere. Because the white background provides generous breathing room around each fish, the repeat works equally well wrapping across all four walls of a compact nursery or serving as a cheerful feature wall behind a crib or low play table. In a bathroom or powder room, the aquatic theme feels right at home, adding color and personality to smaller wall sections around vanities and mirrors.

Styling it

When styling around this pattern, we suggest leaning into simple shapes and warm, natural elements that complement the breezy character of the motif. Light wood tones like natural birch, ash, or pale pine echo the gentle pastel palette without weighing down the room. Soft woven textiles in unbleached cotton or oatmeal linen help ground the space, while painted furniture in soft cream, muted coral, or warm taupe lets the illustrated fish stand out effortlessly.

Colour combinations

The wallpaper features a delicate palette of coral pink, dusty rose, soft lilac, and hints of muted gold set over an off-white base. For surrounding walls, trim, or built-in cabinetry, we like pairing this design with crisp warm whites, soft blush pinks, or light sandy tones to maintain an airy feel. If you want a slightly richer accent, pulling a deeper terracotta or a muted warm ochre into surrounding painted elements or bedding creates a grounded, cohesive look.
