Wallpaper - Koi Medallion, Blue

Created by Nina Leth, our Koi Medallion, Blue wallpaper brings together decorative chinoiserie heritage and graphic clarity. The composition centres around graceful koi fish rendered in deep cobalt and soft blue tones, enclosed within ornate oval medallions set against a delicate, swirling water pattern on an off-white, neutral ground. The balanced repeat creates a refined rhythm across the wall, pairing intricate scale detail with fluid movement. Made to measure on our PVC-free paper with a subtle physical structure, this design brings a serene, classical presence to any interior.

In the room

The structured medallion layout makes our wallpaper particularly versatile across different room scales. In a dining room or living room, the repeat forms an elegant, tailored backdrop across wider uninterrupted walls where the complete oval frames can be appreciated in full. We also find the pattern works wonderfully in more intimate settings, such as a powder room, guest bedroom, or home study, where the fine linework and detailed fins can be viewed close up. Because the repeating framing adds architectural structure, it can bring a sense of height and order to hallways and entryways as well.

Styling it

The classic porcelain blue and off-white palette pairs naturally with traditional and heritage-inspired spaces, as well as eclectic maximalist schemes. We like balancing the detailed linework of the pattern with painted furniture in soft neutrals, rich navy, or deep blue tones that echo the medallions.

To keep the focus on the wallpaper's ornamental geometry, opt for tailored upholstery in quiet, unpatterned fabrics. Polished brass or antiqued bronze fittings create a lovely, warm contrast against the cool cobalt shades, adding subtle definition to light fixtures or cabinetry hardware.

Colour combinations

The palette in our wallpaper centres on rich cobalt and gentle slate blues against an off-white background with fine ink-like details. To complement the motif, you could draw on the deep blue tones for surrounding woodwork, skirting boards, or built-in joinery, which grounds the design and creates an immersive feel. Alternatively, pairing the wallpaper with chalky off-whites or soft cream on adjacent painted surfaces allows the medallions to stand out crisply, maintaining a light and airy atmosphere throughout the room.
