Wallpaper - Pork Fish

Our Pork Fish wallpaper brings the charm of historic natural history illustration into the home, featuring three pork fish drifting across a softly mottled aquatic backdrop. What we particularly like about this design is the contrast between the delicate scientific watercolour detail and the bold, graphic presence of the fish. Bright golden yellow bodies are accented with vivid blue horizontal stripes and striking black vertical bands across the eyes and gills. Made to measure on PVC-free paper with a subtle surface structure, this design offers a distinctive heritage feel with plenty of character.

In the room

We see this wallpaper working exceptionally well in a bathroom or powder room where a refined nautical or coastal mood feels right at home. The asymmetric composition, with the trio of fish suspended in movement, makes it an engaging focal point above a vanity or along an uninterrupted feature wall.

It also suits a study, home library, or dedicated workspace, lending a scholarly, collector-style atmosphere without feeling heavy. In a dining room or entry, giving the mural wallpaper a wider wall allows the open, cloudy background to create a sense of depth while keeping the overall space feeling airy.

Styling it

To complement the archival quality of the artwork, we would look to traditional and heritage interior accents:

• Darker timber furniture, such as antique mahogany, walnut, or aged oak, balances the vintage watercolour style beautifully.
• Warm metallic accents in aged brass or antique bronze echo the golden yellow tones in the fish fins and scales.
• Clean architectural details, such as painted wainscoting or classic tongue-and-groove panelling, provide a grounded base when papering the upper half of the wall.

Colour combinations

The palette within our design centres around warm golden yellow, crisp cerulean blue, deep charcoal black, and a muted, earthy slate-grey background.

When decorating the surrounding space, soft off-whites, warm stone, and gentle pebble greys let the yellow fish stand out naturally. For a richer, more enveloping scheme in a study or downstairs cloakroom, deep navy, slate blue, or charcoal trim will tie directly into the darker markings of the artwork.
