Wallpaper - Salema Fish

Our Salema Fish wallpaper brings an energetic underwater scene directly into the home, captured through detailed marine photography by Tono Balaguer. A dense school of Salema fish, marked by vivid yellow and silver stripes, sweeps across clear aquamarine water above coral in warm shades of orange, red, and green. Beams of sunlight cut down through the blue surface, giving the composition a natural sense of depth and movement. Printed made-to-measure on our PVC-free paper with a subtle surface structure, our mural wallpapers bring distinct visual character and color to any chosen wall.

In the room

In a family living room or open lounge area, we would place this design along a main feature wall where the horizontal sweep of the swimming fish can be viewed across a wider span. The dynamic balance of bright coral along the lower edge and open turquoise water above helps ground low-profile seating like a sofa or low sideboard without hiding the main school of fish.

Because of its lively marine motif and bright palette, our wall murals also work naturally in a playroom, nursery, or toddler room. The clear water and colorful details provide visual interest on a focal wall near a reading nook or play space. For residential bathrooms or poolhouses, the aquatic photography adds an immersive feel across an accent wall, pairing comfortably with clean tiling and neutral finishes.

Styling it

Because the photography carries substantial color and fine detail, we recommend keeping surrounding furniture relatively calm to let the wallpaper serve as the room's main visual anchor. Simple, low-slung furniture shapes in clean contemporary or organic modern silhouettes allow the underwater landscape to remain the focus.

Lighter wood tones, such as pale ash or natural beech, complement the bright, sunlit water without competing with the rich coral below. White, sandy beige, or light grey painted surfaces help balance the strong aquamarine tones, keeping the overall interior feeling open and airy.

Colour combinations

The wallpaper is defined by a primary backdrop of aquamarine and deep sea blues, punctuated by the yellow and silver striping of the fish and warm coral accents in orange, brick red, and muted green.

To build a balanced palette around the design, we suggest pairing it with soft off-whites, sea salt tones, or pale sandy neutrals on adjacent painted walls and woodwork. If you want to echo the warmer accents of the reef, small decorative elements in terracotta, warm ochre, or burnt orange tie back naturally to the coral without overwhelming the space.
