Wallpaper - Fishy Times

Fishy Times by Anne Tavoletti brings an underwater rhythm to the wall through a flowing school of stylized fish swimming across a deep teal ocean backdrop. What we particularly like about our design is the balance between painterly simplicity and dynamic movement, with each chalky white fish featuring subtle painted brush textures and delicate bubble accents rising toward the surface. As with all our wall murals, this design is made-to-measure to your exact wall dimensions and printed on PVC-free paper with a subtle surface structure.

In the room

The fluid diagonal flow of this motif makes it especially effective on a main wall where the school of fish has space to create a sense of direction and visual energy. We see this wallpaper working beautifully in a child's bedroom or dedicated playroom, where the playful sea theme adds character without overwhelming the room. Because the composition balances crisp white silhouettes against a solid sea-blue background, it also works well behind lower furniture such as a toy bench, desk, or bed frame, leaving the upper swirl of swimming fish and bubbles in full view.

Styling it

To complement the graphic simplicity and painterly character of the design, we recommend keeping surrounding furniture clean-lined and understated. Light natural wood or clean white painted pieces echo the crisp contrast of the fish silhouettes, creating a fresh, coastal-inspired atmosphere.

For soft furnishings, simple woven textures in neutral tones or light indigo blues help ground the space while allowing the wall mural to remain the clear focal point. Choosing minimalist storage and low-profile decor keeps the wall visible and lets the swimming motion define the mood of the room.

Colour combinations

The palette in our wallpaper is centered on two core elements: a rich, calming deep teal background and warm off-white fish silhouettes, accented with soft translucent blue bubbles.

Around this mural, we suggest pairing adjacent walls with soft warm off-whites or pale sea-mist tones to keep the room bright and open. If you prefer a moodier, more enveloping space, carrying a complementary navy or muted slate blue onto surrounding woodwork and trim creates an immersive oceanic setting.
