Wallpaper - Fun Sardines II Blue

Our Fun Sardines II Blue wallpaper by Becky Thorns brings graphic character to your walls with horizontal rows of hand-drawn sardines over bold blue stripes. The screenprint-inspired look pairs flat illustrative shapes with crisp linework, giving the repeating fish motif a cheerful pop art feel with a subtle 1950s mid-century aesthetic. Like all Wallism wallpapers, this design is custom made to your dimensions and printed on PVC-free paper with a subtle surface texture, making it straightforward to hang.

In the room

We particularly like this design in a kitchen, dining area, or a dedicated pantry where food-inspired artwork feels completely natural. Because the striped composition creates strong horizontal lines across the wall, it works well on a focal wall behind a kitchen island or breakfast table, guiding the eye along the room. In a compact pantry, the repeat adds graphic interest without overwhelming the smaller space, especially when paired with simple open shelving that lets sections of the pattern show through.

Styling it

The mid-century graphic feel of this wallpaper pairs naturally with clean-lined mid-century modern or eclectic furniture. We would complement the bold blue background with warm wood tones, such as teak or oak dining chairs, to balance the cool palette. Keeping surrounding accessories relatively uncluttered allows the playful rhythm of the sardines to stand out, while retro kitchenware or simple ceramics in unglazed terracotta or neutral cream complement the print without competing with it.

Colour combinations

The wallpaper is defined by its vibrant blue background and the crisp contrast of the fish illustrations. To create a cohesive look around it, we recommend pairing the design with soft off-white or light biscuit painted trim and neighbouring walls. If you want to introduce more depth, deeper navy accents or dark blue cabinetry work well to anchor the brighter blue, while accents in warm ochre, mustard, or terracotta bring out the retro character of the composition.
