Wallpaper - The Plaice

Our The Plaice wallpaper, created with Deborah Revell, presents a detailed study of a flatfish rendered in rich navy and deep blue tones against a soft white backdrop with subtle hints of yellow and blue. The horizontal composition highlights the characteristic profile of the plaice, from its wide tail fin and distinctive dorsal edge to the fine scaly markings across its body. Painted with the quiet depth of an oil study, the motif brings a refined maritime presence to a room without feeling decorative or crowded. Produced to your exact dimensions, our wallpapers are PVC-free and printed on paper with a subtle physical structure.

In the room

We see this design working particularly well in a bedroom or a calm living room where the single, considered subject has space to establish a tranquil atmosphere. Because the horizontal fish illustration sits against an open, textured ground, giving it an uninterrupted wall behind a sofa or a low headboard lets the full balance of the artwork stand out. In a living room, placing the mural along a main feature wall creates a focal point that feels grounded and contemplative. In a bedroom, the deep navy blues paired with the light background provide a restful visual rhythm that suits quiet spaces.

Styling it

To complement the classic maritime character of our mural wallpapers, we recommend pairing this design with furniture that shares its quiet craftsmanship.

• Choose warm or medium-toned wood furniture, such as a walnut sideboard or a simple wooden bed frame, to introduce organic warmth against the cooler navy tones.
• Layer in woven textiles, such as natural wool throws or simple linen cushions in off-white, to echo the visual depth of the painted backdrop.
• Keep wall accessories minimal around the mural, allowing the singular silhouette of the plaice to serve as the visual anchor of the space.

Colour combinations

The wallpaper is built around a palette of deep navy, slate blue, and soft white, accented by faint undertones of yellow and lighter blue in the background. For surrounding painted walls, we like gentle off-whites or pale chalky creams that extend the light, airy ground of the mural across the wider room. If you prefer a moodier, more enveloping space, a deep navy or dark slate on adjacent walls or painted woodwork creates a striking, cohesive dialogue with the darker tones of the illustration.
