Wallpaper - Goldfish In Wine Glass

Our Goldfish In Wine Glass wallpaper brings a playful, surreal composition to life with expressive painterly detail. Created by artist Kate Jarvik Birch, the design features a luminous goldfish with vivid orange and yellow scales resting inside a clear wine glass filled with water. Delicate bubbles drift around its flowing fins, set against a deep, dramatic black background that makes the warm tones pop with striking clarity. As one of our custom made wall murals, it is produced to your exact wall dimensions on PVC-free paper with a subtle paper structure, offering a characterful visual statement that is straightforward to hang.

In the room

Because of its dramatic dark background and bold central subject, we see this wall mural working particularly well as an anchor feature wall in a dining room, home office, or living room. In a dining area, positioning the design along the main wall creates a lively conversational focal point that feels both whimsical and sophisticated. In more compact spaces like a powder room or study, wrapping an accent wall in this deep palette produces an intimate, enveloping atmosphere where the luminous orange and glass reflections catch the eye immediately. We recommend giving the motif an uninterrupted wall section so the delicate silhouette of the wine glass and fish remains fully visible.

Styling it

To balance the bold contrast and surreal subject matter of our mural wallpapers, we like keeping the surrounding interior grounded with considered textures and clean silhouettes:

• Pair the deep backdrop with warm wood furniture, such as rich walnut or dark-stained oak, to echo the warm glow of the orange scales without competing with the artwork.
• Introduce understated accents in aged brass or matte black lighting fixtures, which mirror the reflective quality of the painted glass while maintaining a modern edge.
• Choose quiet, solid textiles in neutral charcoal, warm off-white, or tactile natural weaves on dining chairs or sofas to let the central motif remain the clear hero of the room.

Colour combinations

The design centres around rich tangerine orange, warm gold, and crisp clear water highlights set against an intense, solid black base. When planning surrounding walls and decor, we suggest working with warm off-whites, soft creams, or deep charcoal greys for adjacent painted surfaces to maintain balance. For a more dramatic and cohesive look, echoing the vibrant orange through smaller accent pieces, such as cushions, glassware, or art books, creates a thoughtful dialogue across the space.
