Wallpaper - Hook Line and Sinker

Created by artist Kate Jarvik Birch, our Hook Line and Sinker wallpaper features an expressive close-up portrait of a fish set against a deep, dark teal background. What catches the eye immediately is the painterly rendering of the scales and head, where iridescent shades of ochre, copper, pale blue, lavender, and silvery white contrast against bold dark outlines. The graphic composition and painterly brushwork give this mural wallpaper a striking, artistic presence on the wall. Made to measure for your exact wall dimensions, our PVC-free wallpapers have a subtle paper structure and are designed to be straightforward to hang.

In the room

Because of the bold, large-scale composition of the fish's profile, we see this wall mural working particularly well on an uninterrupted accent wall where the full detail of the motif can be appreciated. In a dining area, hallway, or modern living room, the dark teal backdrop creates an intimate, enveloping atmosphere while the fish's luminous face draws natural focus. Placing this wallpaper behind a low sideboard, dining table, or bed allows the upper motif and eye-level brushstrokes to remain completely visible.

Styling it

To let the expressive artwork take centre stage, we suggest pairing this design with relatively understated, clean-lined interior elements.

• Choose warm wood furniture, such as walnut or medium-toned oak, which echoes the coppery amber tones in the fish's head and adds natural warmth against the dark background.
• Keep surrounding architectural features and larger furniture in simple silhouettes so the graphic scale of the motif remains the primary focal point.
• Introduce brushed brass or bronze hardware in light fixtures or door handles to complement the metallic, golden hues captured in the painting.

Colour combinations

The palette in our wallpaper centres on deep teal navy, offset by luminous highlights of copper, warm ochre, soft periwinkle blue, and crisp white. Around the room, deep oceanic blues or rich petrol greens on adjacent walls or joinery create a cohesive, moody palette. If you prefer higher contrast, soft warm whites or pale bone shades on skirting and adjacent surfaces will make the deep dark backdrop and colourful painted details stand out with clarity.
