Wallpaper - Blue Fish Studies

Our Blue Fish Studies wallpaper, designed by Mercedes Lopez Charro, brings an expressive aquatic motif alive through bold ink-drawn outlines and painterly washes. A lively school of stylized fish swims across a light, textured dotted background, with each fish carrying its own distinct pattern of scales, crosshatching, or horizontal and vertical stripes. The rich cobalt blue tones create a fresh, graphic contrast against the pale ground, giving the design an artistic and whimsical character. Like all our wall murals, this made-to-measure design is PVC-free and printed on wallpaper paper with a subtle surface structure, making it easy to hang while bringing a distinctive artistic presence to your walls.

In the room

We see this wallpaper working particularly well in spaces where you want to introduce visual character without overwhelming the room. In a children's bedroom, playroom, or nursery, the varied patterns across each fish create an engaging focal point that feels playful yet thoughtfully composed.

The motif also brings a light, coastal energy to a bathroom, summer house, or lake house. Because the fish vary in scale from rounded, broad silhouettes to slender, darting shapes, the design maintains an open visual rhythm. We would give it an uninterrupted wall behind a bed, a low bench, or a washstand where the complete illustrated school can glide across the room.

Styling it

The bold cobalt ink drawing gives this wallpaper a confident graphic presence, so we recommend pairing it with understated interior elements that let the artwork take centre stage:

• Pair with clean-lined painted furniture or light, natural woods to keep the atmosphere breezy and balanced.
• Introduce crisp white and soft navy textiles to echo the tonal rhythm of the illustration without introducing competing patterns.
• Choose simple ceramics or modern fixtures with uncluttered profiles that complement the playful, mid-century-leaning sensibility of the motif.

Colour combinations

The palette of our wallpaper is anchored by intense cobalt blue, deep ink tones, and crisp white, layered over a soft, pale blue-tinted background.

When choosing surrounding colours, we would look to fresh chalky whites, pale sky blues, and muted slate tones for adjacent walls and woodwork. If you want to create a slightly bolder interior, deep navy cabinetry or trim can frame the mural wallpapers beautifully, while accents in warm ochre or sandy neutrals provide an appealing earthy balance to the cool aquatic blues.
