Wallpaper - Colorful Koi V

Created by Yvette St. Amant, our Colorful Koi V wallpaper mural captures the graceful movement of two koi fish gliding across a soft light blue backdrop. One fish is rendered in lively shades of orange, red, and white, while the other introduces deep black markings alongside bright orange accents. The fluid, painted detail in their long, undulating fins brings a sense of gentle motion to the composition, balanced by the calm, aquamarine tone of the surrounding water. Made to measure on our PVC-free paper with a subtle surface structure, this design brings an expressive aquatic focal point into the home.

In the room

In a living room or primary bedroom, we see this wall mural working particularly well as a focal feature behind a sofa or bed frame. The generous scale of the two swimming koi needs sufficient uninterrupted wall space so their full forms and sweeping fins can be appreciated without being heavily obscured by tall furniture. In a dining room or wide hallway, the contrasting colours of the fish stand out clearly from across the room, while the pale blue ground keeps the overall atmosphere light and uncluttered. For a study or home office, the balanced composition offers visual interest without overwhelming a work area.

Styling it

Because the fish carry strong warm tones of orange and red against cool blue, we would pair this wallpaper with quiet, considered furnishings that allow the motif to take centre stage. Clean-lined furniture in warm wood tones such as teak or mid-toned oak echoes the warmth in the fish without competing with the backdrop. Simple upholstery in off-white, oat, or deep charcoal complements the black and white details in the scales, creating a balanced, modern heritage aesthetic.

Colour combinations

The wallpaper is built on a base of soft aquamarine blue, punctuated by vibrant orange, warm red, crisp white, and deep charcoal-black. To build a cohesive room scheme around it, we recommend drawing on these existing tones. Soft off-whites and pale stone shades work beautifully on adjacent walls and woodwork, maintaining a bright and open feel. If you prefer a richer contrast, bringing in accents of terracotta, rust, or deep ink black through cushions, throws, or painted cabinetry will subtly anchor the vivid colours of the fish.
