Wallpaper - Koi in the Garden

Our Koi in the Garden wallpaper by Morgan Birch captures a serene pond scene with swimming red and white koi fish, floating lily pads, and lush foliage rendered in an expressive oil paint style. Set against a deep navy blue water surface, the composition balances smooth stepping stones and blooming garden greenery with vibrant flashes of scarlet red. The painterly visual texture gives the artwork a classic, artistic presence on the wall. Produced to your exact measurements, our wallpapers are PVC-free and feature a subtle structure in the paper that complements the painted character of the motif.

In the room

We especially like this design for spaces where you want to create an immersive, calm atmosphere. In a bedroom or guest room, placing this mural on the wall behind the headboard grounds the entire room in rich, tranquil tones. The darker navy water creates depth, while the vibrant fish and leafy garden elements bring life and movement across the surface.

In a living room or dining room, we recommend giving this design a wider, uninterrupted wall so the full scenic pond landscape and natural flow of the composition can be enjoyed. It also works beautifully in a study, home office, or hallway, where the rich tones and painterly details add immediate character. For smaller rooms such as an entryway or powder room, covering all four walls creates an inviting, jewel-box feel.

Styling it

Because this wallpaper carries strong artistic character and a vibrant palette, we like to balance it with grounded, understated furniture. Low-profile pieces inspired by Japandi or mid-century modern design work particularly well, allowing the visual rhythm of the water and greenery to remain the focal point.

Consider pairing this mural with natural wood tones, such as warm oak or deeper walnut, which harmonise naturally with the earthy rocks and lush garden plants in the painting. Keep larger upholstered furniture in neutral, textured fabrics to let the scarlet and emerald accents in the artwork take centre stage.

Colour combinations

The design is built around a deep navy blue pond surface, enriched by leafy forest greens, soft white blossoms, and bright accents of scarlet red and warm gold on the koi fish.

For adjacent walls and woodwork, a warm off-white or soft linen shade keeps the surrounding room bright while letting the mural stand out. If you prefer a moodier, enveloping palette, pulling a deep navy or muted olive green from the foliage onto trim and doors creates a seamless, sophisticated finish.
