Wallpaper - Salema Fish

Our Salema Fish wallpaper captures a vibrant underwater scene, photographed by Tono Balaguer. A lively school of salema fish patterned with yellow and silver stripes glides across clear turquoise and aquamarine water, surrounded by coral in energetic shades of orange, red, and green. Downward rays of sunlight cut through the water column, adding gentle movement and depth to the aquatic composition. Produced made-to-measure on our PVC-free paper with a subtle surface structure, this design brings an engaging marine character to an accent wall.

In the room

In a residential setting, we see this wall mural working particularly well in spaces where color and natural motion bring life to the interior. In a playroom, nursery, or toddler room, the vivid school of fish and colorful coral create an inspiring backdrop for play without overwhelming the space when placed on a single feature wall. We also like this design in a bathroom or living room within a coastal vacation home or poolhouse, where the aquamarine water naturally reflects the outdoor environment. Because the photograph features a panoramic expanse of open sea and swimming fish, it benefits from a wider, relatively uninterrupted wall where the full sense of underwater depth can unfold.

Styling it

To let the vivid oceanic colors take center stage, we suggest pairing this mural with understated furnishings and natural textures. Clean-lined contemporary furniture in neutral tones allows the detailed coral reef and school of fish to remain the primary focal point. Warm wood finishes, such as light oak or bleached pine, complement the organic theme while balancing the cooler turquoise water. We would keep large textiles and upholstery simple and solid, avoiding competing graphic patterns so the natural rhythm of the marine photography carries the room.

Colour combinations

The design is defined by its bright turquoise and aquamarine blue base, accented with sunny yellow fish stripes and warm orange, red, and green coral tones. For adjacent painted walls, soft off-whites, sandy beiges, or gentle pale aquas work harmoniously alongside the mural. If you prefer a bolder contrast, deeper navy or warm terracotta accents drawn from the coral can be introduced through smaller decorative details or seating.
