Wallpaper - Angling in the Stream I

Angling in the Stream I by artist Courtney Prahl brings an expressive collage illustration of a trout into the centre of the wall. Set against a clean, off-white background, the fish motif combines painted emerald green and earthy tones with delicate printed newsprint and book pages embedded directly into its body, alongside dappled speckles and soft pink and yellow accents along the flank. The generous negative space around the artwork allows the graphic fish illustration to serve as an artistic focal point without overcrowding the room. As with all our wallpapers, this mural design is made to measure to fit your exact wall dimensions on PVC-free paper with a subtle surface structure.

In the room

Because this design features a single, horizontal fish motif surrounded by open space, we find it works best on an uninterrupted feature wall where the entire silhouette can be appreciated without tall furniture obscuring the artwork. It feels especially at home in a dining room, placed behind a low sideboard or alongside a dining table where the illustrative details can be viewed up close. In a cottage or modern farmhouse setting, the combination of traditional subject matter and mixed-media collage gives the room a relaxed, whimsical character.

Styling it

The collage-inspired technique and earthy palette pair naturally with simple, tactile furnishings. We suggest combining this wallpaper with warm, natural timber furniture such as a rustic oak dining table or an understated painted wooden credenza. To maintain the open and considered feeling of the composition, keep surrounding wall decorations to a minimum and let the graphic silhouette of the fish anchor the space.

Colour combinations

The motif features an earthy palette anchored by mossy emerald greens, warm ochres on the fins, subtle rose-pink brushwork along the flank, and soft printed newsprint. We recommend pairing the wallpaper with off-white or soft linen tones on adjoining walls to echo the neutral background. For accents in surrounding woodwork or textiles, rich forest greens, warm taupes, or muted mustard yellows will pick up the painted details in the fish beautifully.
