Wallpaper - Fun Sardines II

Created by Becky Thorns, our Fun Sardines II wallpaper brings together graphic coastal charm and bold pop art styling. The motif pairs an open sardine tin with friendly, stylized fish against a backdrop of clean vertical blue stripes. With its flat illustration style, defined linework, and block-print-inspired character, this design delivers a spirited visual rhythm that stands out in any space. Printed made-to-measure on PVC-free paper with a subtle surface structure, our wallpaper creates an eye-catching focal point that feels fresh, nostalgic, and full of personality.

In the room

We see this wallpaper working especially well in culinary and entertaining areas where its food-and-drink theme feels right at home. In a kitchen, pantry, or casual dining room, the bold vertical stripes help draw the eye upward, giving smaller or standard-height spaces a sense of height while introducing a playful conversation starter.

Because the graphic motif carries a strong graphic identity, we often like using it across a dedicated accent wall, such as behind open shelving in a breakfast nook or on a feature wall in a summer house. In a powder room or compact bathroom, our wall murals can wrap the entire space to create a delightful, jewel-box effect without feeling overwhelming, thanks to the balanced spacing of the repeating pattern.

Styling it

To let the graphic artwork and bright palette take center stage, we recommend keeping surrounding furniture clean-lined and understated. Mid-century modern or retro-inspired shapes complement the 1960s pop character naturally without competing for attention.

• Pair with painted cabinetry or mid-toned warm wood furniture to anchor the energetic coastal motif.
• Introduce crisp white or soft cream architectural trim around the walls to cleanly frame the vertical blue stripes.
• Balance the playful pop aesthetic with simple ceramic tableware and smooth, matte metal hardware.

Color combinations

Our design relies on a crisp base of blue and white stripes accented by popping yellow, red, and silver-toned fish details. To build a cohesive room around it, we suggest pulling directly from the wallpaper's cooler backdrop with navy, cobalt, or sky blue on surrounding millwork and doors.

If you prefer a warmer, high-contrast interior, pairing adjacent surfaces with warm off-white, light terracotta, or soft mustard yellow will pick up the bright accents inside the sardine tin. For a clean, modern coastal feel, keeping neighboring walls in a chalky, neutral white lets the mural wallpapers hold all the visual interest.
