Wallpaper - Bag of Gold

Created by Kate Jarvik Birch, our Bag of Gold wallpaper features an expressive, painted illustration of a vibrant goldfish resting inside a clear, water-filled plastic bag tied at the top. The bold orange, coral, and golden scales of the fish create an eye-catching focal point against a cool, teal-blue backdrop, complete with painterly highlights that capture the reflections and folds of the transparent bag. As with all Wallism mural wallpapers, this design is made-to-measure to fit your wall dimensions and printed on PVC-free paper with a subtle surface structure.

In the room

This wall mural makes a characterful, witty statement that works wonderfully as a dedicated accent wall. Because the artwork features a strong, central illustrative subject, we would give it an uninterrupted wall where the full composition can be appreciated without being split across corners. It feels especially at home in a creative study, home office, hallway, or a lively dining space where playful art sparks conversation. In a child's bedroom or playroom, the friendly motif adds warmth and colour without feeling overly themed.

Styling it

To let the rich colours of our wallpaper lead the room, we suggest pairing it with clean, understated furniture. Mid-century modern silhouettes or simple contemporary pieces in warm wood tones, such as teak or warm oak, ground the vivid orange tones nicely. Keep surrounding accessories relatively tailored; simple ceramics, matte black metal accents, or minimal shelving prevent the space from competing with the detailed painterly highlights of the mural.

Colour combinations

The palette centres around the vivid contrast between the warm, fiery oranges and yellows of the goldfish and the deep teal and aquatic blue background. Surrounding walls painted in a soft, muted aqua or a pale mineral grey will tie in naturally with the bag’s cool highlights. For a bolder, complementary scheme, pulling in subtle terracotta or burnt orange accents through cushions or upholstery echoes the warmth of the fish.
