Wallpaper - Three Little Fishies

Created by Kate Jarvik Birch, our Three Little Fishies wallpaper brings an expressive, painted study of marine life to the wall. Three silvery fish are arranged in a clean horizontal alignment against a calm, turquoise blue background. The painted brushwork gives their scales a shimmering quality with subtle hints of gold, white, and soft lilac beneath clear black outlines, balanced by warm ochre and amber tones along the fins and tails. Printed on our PVC-free paper with a subtle physical surface structure, this made-to-measure design brings a fresh, coastal character that feels both contemporary and classic.

In the room

We see this design working particularly well in kitchens, dining rooms, or a family bathroom where a relaxed maritime accent feels natural. Because the fish are stacked horizontally across a flat, solid field of turquoise, the composition creates an immediate visual anchor. It works brilliantly on a feature wall behind a dining table, above a kitchen counter run, or on a compact accent wall in a cloakroom or bathroom. In open-plan spaces, the bold graphic clarity helps define a dedicated dining nook or seating area without overwhelming neighbouring walls.

Styling it

The blend of cool turquoise ground and warm golden ochre in the fish fins gives you great versatility when choosing complementary interior finishes. We would pair this design with light, natural timber such as ash or bleached oak to reflect its relaxed, coastal mood. Simple, modern cabinetry or minimalist shelving allows the painted fish motif to remain the primary focus. Crisp white porcelain or textured ceramics in pale neutral shades also complement the clean lines and artistic character of the wallpaper nicely.

Colour combinations

The dominant colour is the clear, cool turquoise blue background, layered with silvery greys, crisp white highlights, charcoal outlines, and rich amber-gold fin accents in the fish themselves. For adjacent walls, woodwork, and cabinetry, we suggest pairing this mural with chalky off-whites, soft ocean blues, or muted sand tones to echo the warm highlights in the brushwork. Deep navy or charcoal accents elsewhere in the room can pick up the graphic linework and give the space a sharp, grounded finish.
