Wallpaper - Orange Fish & Proteas

Vibrant orange fish glide effortlessly through lush botanical foliage and soft pink protea blossoms in this imaginative design by Nina Leth. Set against a deep navy backdrop, the artwork combines painterly oil textures with rich, tropical greenery to create an expressive and layered composition. We love how the vivid orange tones pop against the muted sage and petrol blue hues, lending the pattern an energetic yet balanced personality. Our made-to-measure wallpapers are PVC-free and produced with a subtle paper structure that adds depth to the printed artwork, making it a characterful addition to a study or living area.

In the room

Because the design features a dense, repeating blend of flora and fauna, we find it works wonderfully on a feature wall in a living room, dining room, or bedroom where the full movement of the motif can be appreciated. In smaller residential spaces such as a cloakroom, powder room, or dressing room, wrapping all four walls creates an immersive, jewel-box feel. The rich navy background gives the pattern visual weight, while the bright fish and proteas keep the overall look lively. In a home office or guest room, it brings creative energy to the wall without overwhelming the rest of the decor.

Styling it

To let the artwork remain the focal point of the interior, we recommend pairing this wallpaper with furniture that features clean, modern silhouettes and quieter finishes.

• Warm wood tones, such as walnut or mid-toned oak, complement the rich botanical elements and bring an organic grounding to the space.
• Upholstered seating or accents in muted coral, blush pink, or deep navy help connect the surrounding furniture directly to the colours in the pattern.
• Brushed brass or matte black accents in hardware and light fixtures provide a refined contrast against the deep, painterly background.

Colour combinations

The design is built on a rich navy ground, accented by soft pink protea petals, muted sage and jade leaves, and bright pops of orange and coral. When decorating around this wallpaper, we suggest picking up the dusty pink or sage tones on adjacent painted walls or woodwork for a harmonious, tone-on-tone feel. If you prefer higher contrast, crisp off-white or soft linen shades keep the room feeling fresh and bright, while a dark inky blue on skirtings and doors will create a dramatic, enveloped atmosphere.
