Wallpaper - Blue Fish Scales

Created by Mercedes Lopez Charro, this wallpaper design captures the rhythmic flow of overlapping scalloped fish scales rendered in rich sapphire blue. The hand-painted watercolour appearance gives each curved segment delicate tonal variations and soft gradients, framed by crisp white outlines that keep the geometric layout clear and defined. It offers a tranquil, coastal-inspired character that balances graphic order with fluid artistry. Like all our wallpapers, this design is made-to-measure to your exact wall dimensions and printed on PVC-free paper with a subtle paper structure that is straightforward to hang.

In the room

The repeating curved geometry makes this wallpaper especially compelling in bathrooms and poolhouses, where its aquatic motif feels right at home. The clean contrast between deep blue and white allows the pattern to define a striking feature wall behind a vanity or mirror without overwhelming the space. In more compact rooms or cloakrooms, wrapping all four walls in the repeat creates an immersive, jewel-box feel, while in larger rooms, a single accent wall provides a calm, decorative focal point with plenty of visual depth.

Styling it

To complement the rich maritime blue and crisp white geometry, we recommend keeping surrounding elements clean and tactile:

• Pair the wallpaper with warm brushed brass or polished chrome tapware and mirrors to contrast the cool blue tones.
• Choose natural light oak or clean white painted cabinetry to keep the room feeling bright and open against the bold geometric pattern.
• Incorporate simple white ceramic accents and woven baskets to enhance the coastal, relaxed atmosphere without introducing conflicting motifs.

Colour combinations

The palette of this design centres on deep sapphire blue, soft oceanic washes, and crisp pure white. When choosing surrounding colours for adjacent walls, trim, or cabinetry, clean chalky whites and soft off-whites allow the blue scales to stand out with crisp clarity. For a moodier, monochromatic scheme, deep navy or indigo paint on woodwork creates a seamless, grounded backdrop. If you prefer subtle warmth, soft sandy neutrals or warm stone tones provide a balanced, natural contrast to the cool watercolours.
