Wallpaper - Dancing Fish, Orange on Blue

Our Dancing Fish, Orange on Blue wallpaper by Imary brings vibrant orange and white koi fish together with blooming chrysanthemums across a deep navy backdrop. The composition draws inspiration from classic woodcut prints and Art Nouveau curves, balancing fluid aquatic movement with ornamental floral forms. We especially like the crisp contrast between the rich background and the warm, popping orange tones, which gives the pattern a distinctive graphic presence on the wall. Produced made-to-measure to fit your room dimensions, this PVC-free wallpaper features a subtle paper structure that adds gentle character to the surface while remaining straightforward to hang.

In the room

In a living room or dining room, we love seeing this design on a main feature wall behind a sofa or dining table where the complete rhythm of the swimming fish and open florals can be appreciated. The dark navy ground gives the pattern an intimate, grounding visual depth, making it equally fitting for a bedroom behind a headboard or a compact powder room where a rich, decorative envelope creates instant character. Because the motifs are evenly distributed across the surface, the design holds together comfortably whether displayed on a wide, continuous wall or framed by architectural doorways and windows. Under soft evening lighting, the warm orange and cream tones stand out beautifully against the cooler blue depths.

Styling it

To let the rhythmic movement of our mural wallpapers take center stage, we suggest balancing the space with quiet, intentional furnishings.

• Pair the wallpaper with dark-stained timber, rich walnut, or ebonized furniture to echo the depth of the navy base and anchor the room.
• Introduce warm brass or muted antique bronze lighting and hardware to draw out the glowing tones in the chrysanthemums and koi.
• Ground the seating or dining area with solid, unpatterned textiles in natural linen or deep indigo so the surrounding decor does not compete with the print.

Colour combinations

The design itself centers on deep navy blue, vibrant orange, soft cream, and pure white. When choosing paint colors for adjacent walls, trim, or cabinetry, we recommend working with off-whites and creamy neutrals to match the lighter petals and fish details without creating harsh contrasts. For a moodier, wraparound feel, a dark navy or midnight blue on surrounding walls and woodwork creates a cohesive backdrop that lets the warm orange accents shine. Warm ochre, terracotta, or soft amber decorative accents also work naturally by picking up the golden warmth found in the floral motifs.
