Wallpaper - Fish Checkers, Blue

Our Fish Checkers, Blue wallpaper pairs a graphic navy and white checkerboard grid with charming illustrated sea creatures. Designed by RNM Arts, each white tile frames an aquatic character detailed with light blue spots, round eyes, and drifting underwater bubbles. The solid navy squares create a crisp, structured contrast against the clean white blocks, giving the playful motif a balanced, geometric rhythm across the wall. Printed made-to-measure on PVC-free paper with a subtle physical surface structure, our design brings a cheerful, tailored feel to family spaces.

In the room

We see this wallpaper working especially well in children's bedrooms, nurseries, playrooms, and family bathrooms. The disciplined checkerboard framework keeps the repeat looking tidy and structured, which makes it easy to use across all four walls of a compact toddler room or as an expressive accent wall behind a cot or bed. In a playroom, the rhythmic alternating squares provide a vibrant visual backdrop that feels engaging without becoming chaotic. Because the motif relies on a clean two-tone base, it also sits comfortably on broken wall areas interrupted by doorways, shelving, or bathroom fixtures.

Styling it

To complement the graphic character of our design, we suggest pairing it with clean-lined furniture and simple accents that let the checked repeat remain the focus.

• Pair with painted furniture in bright white or soft off-white to echo the clean squares in the pattern, keeping the overall room feeling airy and open.
• Introduce natural, lighter wood tones like birch or ash through shelving, cot frames, or toy storage to bring warmth against the cool aquatic blue palette.
• Keep surrounding textiles relatively quiet with solid woven cottons, simple stripes, or waffle textures rather than competing character prints.

Colour combinations

The palette of our wallpaper centres on deep navy blue, clean white, and soft light blue accents within the fish illustrations. When choosing colours for surrounding walls, woodwork, and cabinetry, a crisp white or a soft, neutral grey-white provides a fresh, seamless continuation of the background tiles. For a bolder, colour-drenched look, pairing adjacent walls or architectural trim with a matching dark navy creates a smart, tailored border around the pattern. You can also pull out the lighter blue spots from the fish for smaller painted details, cushions, or storage baskets.
