Wallpaper - Coral Reef

Our Coral Reef wallpaper by Haitham brings an undersea world alive through richly detailed 19th-century-inspired botanical and zoological illustration. The composition weaves branching rose-coral and crimson seaweeds across an atmospheric, textured emerald green background, populated by finely drawn marine fish including pufferfish and striped reef species. We love the dramatic balance between the painterly depth of the deep teal backdrop and the crisp, tapestry-like rendering of each sea creature. Produced as made-to-measure murals, our PVC-free wallpapers bring distinctive character to statement walls with a subtle paper structure that handles smoothly during installation.

In the room

We see this expressive design working especially well in a powder room, bathroom, or vacation home where you want to create an immersive, unexpected atmosphere. Because the motif is dense with visual rhythm, it can easily wrap across all walls in a compact powder room to build an enveloping, jewel-box feel. In a larger bathroom or coastal retreat, we would place it on a feature wall behind a freestanding bath or vanity area, letting the intricate sea life provide a focal point while keeping the remaining surfaces simpler.

Styling it

When styling around our Coral Reef design, we recommend letting the detailed motif lead the space while balancing it with understated, grounding elements.

• Warm wood vanities or cabinetry help connect with the earthy undertones of the illustration and soften the rich contrast.
• Polished or aged brass hardware and fixtures pick up the warm gold and ochre tones found in the fish.
• Quiet, unpatterned stone or tile surfaces keep the overall room calm without competing with the detailed marine forms.

Colour combinations

The wallpaper is built around a deep emerald and mossy teal foundation, accented by warm terracotta-coral, blush rose, mustard yellows, and earthy browns. To complement these shades, we suggest pairing adjacent walls or trim with muted moss greens, warm chalky whites, or deep forest tones to continue the moody depth. If you prefer a lighter contrast, warm off-white or soft linen shades will highlight the coral elements without overpowering them.
