Wallpaper - Gone Fishin XII

Featuring an array of intricately tied fishing flies by Wild Apple Portfolio, our Gone Fishin XII wallpaper brings an illustrative outdoor motif into the home. Each fly is rendered with fine, watercolour-like detail, showing off feathered textures, delicate thread wraps, and metallic hook accents set against a clean off-white background. Tones of teal, chartreuse, warm rust, soft amber, and speckled brown give the pattern a lively yet balanced palette. Produced as a made-to-measure, PVC-free wall mural with a subtle paper texture, this design offers a distinctive focal point for spaces dedicated to classic hobbies and leisure.

In the room

We see this wallpaper working especially well in dedicated hobby rooms, quiet home libraries, studies, and lodge-style retreats where natural interests take centre stage. Because the horizontal arrangement of fishing flies has generous breathing space between each illustrated element, it works brilliantly across a feature wall behind a desk or reading chair without overwhelming the room. On a wider, uninterrupted wall, the variety of fly patterns and feather silhouettes can be appreciated up close, while the pale background keeps the overall atmosphere light and uncluttered.

Styling it

To complement the heritage feel and fine draughtsmanship of the motif, we would lean into traditional Americana or classic study styling:

• Ground the space with mid-toned or warm woods, such as antique pine, warm oak, or a vintage bureau, which naturally echo the craft-led look of fly-tying.
• Add structured seating in saddle leather, deep tweed, or heavyweight wool to balance the lighter illustrative quality of the mural wallpapers on the wall.
• Keep surrounding accessories purposeful and tactile, choosing matte brass desk lamps, framed field sketches, or woven wool throws that resonate with the outdoor theme.

Colour combinations

The design is built on a crisp, pale backdrop that highlights distinct splashes of teal, olive green, amber yellow, terracotta, and warm brown. For surrounding walls, trim, or built-in joinery, we suggest working with muted earth tones drawn straight from the feathers and wraps. A soft sage or olive green creates a grounded, tonal backdrop that highlights the intricate fly illustrations, while a rich teal or slate blue on painted skirting boards can pick up the vibrant plumage details. For a calmer, more understated look, an earthy warm off-white or soft linen shade keeps the focus entirely on the artwork.
