Wallpaper - Blue Fish Studies

Created by designer Mercedes Lopez Charro, our Blue Fish Studies wallpaper brings together expressive ink-drawn fish with graphic patterns and rich cobalt tones. We love how each illustrated fish carries its own character, featuring distinct details like crosshatched scales, bold nautical stripes, and scalloped fills with a watercolor-like depth. A light, rhythmic dotted background frames the school of fish, giving the entire composition a playful sense of motion. Like all our wallpapers, this design is made-to-measure on PVC-free paper with a subtle physical surface structure, making it easy to hang as an artistic feature in your home.

In the room

We see our Blue Fish Studies design working beautifully in creative, family-focused spaces such as children's bedrooms, playrooms, and nurseries. The open spacing between the illustrated sea creatures keeps the wall feeling light and uncluttered, which allows the pattern to work just as comfortably across an entire room as it does on a dedicated accent wall behind a bed or reading nook. In a family bathroom, guest powder room, or a coastal summer house, the nautical motif brings a fresh visual rhythm that instantly enlivens clean white fixtures and tiled surfaces.

Styling it

To balance the bold cobalt illustrations, we suggest keeping larger surrounding furniture clean-lined and understated. Natural light wood finishes, such as birch, ash, or pale pine, pair naturally with the oceanic blue tones without competing for attention.

In a child's bedroom or playroom, you can introduce soft woven storage baskets, relaxed washed cotton bedding, or painted furniture in crisp white or deep navy to echo the ink linework. Simple matte blue accents, such as a painted book ledge or a ceramic lamp base, help tie the room together while letting the mural wallpapers remain the visual centerpiece.

Colour combinations

The wallpaper itself features a clean, high-contrast palette of rich cobalt blue, deep navy, and crisp white, set against a soft pale blue dotted backdrop.

When choosing paint for adjoining walls, doors, or window trims, a clear off-white or chalky white keeps the room bright and airy. If you want a more cohesive, tonal feel, pulling a muted sky blue or a deep slate navy from the fish motifs onto surrounding woodwork creates an intentional, framed look. Warm sand tones and soft terracotta decorative accents also create a pleasing complementary contrast against the vibrant blue ink.
