Wallpaper - Dancing Fish, Peach on Teal

Our Dancing Fish, Peach on Teal wallpaper brings together orange and coral koi fish gliding through large, layered chrysanthemums. Illustrated with fine linework across each fin and scale, the fish introduce fluid movement against a deep, muted teal background. Soft peach and white petals balance the richer dark blue-green foliage, creating an expressive composition with a classic, woodcut-inspired character. Created by Imary, this design is made-to-measure on PVC-free paper with a subtle surface structure, bringing an artistic focal point to living spaces, bedrooms, or dining areas.

In the room

We see this wallpaper working particularly well on an uninterrupted feature wall where the full rhythm of the swimming fish and blooming florals has space to unfold. In a living room behind a low sofa or across the main wall of a dining room, the scale of the motif creates visual interest without feeling cluttered. The contrast between the warm peach tones and the teal background gives the design enough presence to define a room, whilst the flowing botanical forms keep the overall impression soft.

For smaller, more intimate spaces like a powder room, dressing room, or an entryway, the design can wrap around multiple walls to create an enveloping, decorative atmosphere. Because the motif balances dense floral clusters with open teal ground, it adapts well to walls broken by doorways or architectural moulding.

Styling it

To keep the focus on the intricate pattern, we suggest pairing this design with furniture that has clean, uncomplicated silhouettes. Darker wood furniture, such as walnut or stained teak, harmonises naturally with the deep teal backdrop and grounds the lighter peach tones. Alternatively, painted furniture in charcoal or muted navy allows the orange fish and floral blooms to stand out clearly.

When choosing decorative accents, warm metallic finishes like antique brass or bronze pick up the warm coral highlights in the illustration. We would keep surrounding textiles relatively quiet, opting for plain weaves in cream, muted clay, or deep slate rather than competing patterns.

Colour combinations

The palette in this wallpaper centres on the contrast between cool teal and warm, glowing coral. The main background is a deep, muted blue-green, layered with darker teal foliage, soft peach petals, crisp white highlights, and vibrant orange and coral fish scales.

When decorating the surrounding space, soft off-white or light warm grey on adjacent walls and woodwork lets the mural remain the primary visual element. For a richer, more cohesive look, pulling a deep teal or petroleum blue from the foliage onto neighbouring trim or cabinetry creates a beautifully tailored feel. If you prefer subtle warmth, accents in terracotta, dusty peach, or muted amber will tie in naturally with the fish and chrysanthemums.
