Fish Wallpaper: The Guide

This classic wallpaper motif retains its continuous appeal and freshness thanks to an infinite number of possible variations. Fish-themed wallpaper creates a fascinating and colourful backdrop that stimulates the imagination, whilst also exuding a calm serenity. Different shades of blue are used as the background colour to emphasise the marine life in the foreground and to create a range of options that extend the versatility of this wall décor beyond the traditional use in the bathroom. Darker hues add a sophisticated flair that is perfect for dining rooms or restaurants, while lighter shades which are combined with colourful and aquatic sea life provide a spacious and fresh atmosphere for children’s rooms or nurseries.

Which are the most popular styles of fish wall décor?

When it comes to wall décor featuring marine life, the most common options are variations of tropical paradises for bathrooms, Japanese koi ponds for concepts focusing on oriental looks, and vintage hand-drawn depictions of fish for more classical and statement rooms.

Tropical lagoon

Who doesn’t dream of floating in the gentle, emerald waters of a tropical lagoon? Enjoying the warmth of this exotic paradise while gazing at a multitude of colourful fish provides the ideal getaway from the frantic pace of the daily grind. The perfect wall décor for creating an oasis of peace in an ocean-themed bathroom.

Japanese water garden

The serene beauty of a Japanese water garden, the pleasure of finding inner peace in a beautiful environment surrounded by nature, creates a zen state of soothing contemplation. Stones rounded by the constant movement of the water provide a path across pools filled with lilies and colourful koi fish, a wooden bridge invites visitors to stop and take in the beauty of the garden are all perfect elements for oriental décor concepts.

Vintage hand-drawn ocean sceneries

Beautifully hand-drawn images of marine life, depicted with utmost care in most minute detail, are a fantastic decoration tool for interior design ideas aiming to recreate the classical environment of a Victorian-era study or library room. Often in monochrome tones, sometimes including names and details of each depicted creature, these wallpapers perfectly complement dark panelled furniture.

Which species are commonly depicted on fish wallpaper?

The variety of marine life in the world’s oceans is almost endless. Due to their fascinating and unique shapes, creatures like starfish, inflating pufferfish, alien-looking jellyfish, as well as koi carps in bright colours are often depicted on fish-themed wallpaper.

Japanese Koi

Considered a symbol of good fortune and strength because of their longevity and their ability to swim against the current and overcome great obstacles, koi fish play a central part in Japanese culture. They can be found in shrines, gardens or even in the ponds of private homes. Their mesmerising colour patterns makes them a work of art, perfect for serene wall décor.

Pufferfish

A funny looking yet dangerous creature, the pufferfish seems to tease the observer with its sardonic smirk. With their ability to inflate their bodies when disturbed or threatened, changing their shape to such an extent that they become almost globular, puffers are unique to marine life. Whether smooth and rotund or with spikes, pufferfish are often featured in fish-themed wallpapers.

Jellyfish

They may look positively alien, but the translucent beauty of jellyfish pulsating through the water is both fascinating and mesmerising. With hues ranging from light pink to bright orange and iridescent blue combined with their graceful shape and long tentacles floating in the water, their surreal aura makes jellyfish a perennial staple in wall décor focussing on marine life.

Starfish

With a shape that seems designed by an animation studio rather than by evolution, starfish are some of the most fascinating and bizarre creatures on planet Earth. Their unique star shape makes them the most recognisable of marine creatures - perfect for a fish-themed wallpaper that will add variety to the room and create a focus point for the wandering gaze.

Which rooms are wallpapers with fish motifs most suitable for?

Fish-themed wall décor has a soothing and calming effect that makes it an ideal candidate to decorate bedrooms and bathrooms, which is to say spaces we retreat to in order to seek refuge from the stresses of our hectic life. Colourful fish are also exceedingly suitable for cheerful nurseries and toddlers’ rooms.

Bedroom

No other room is more personal and intimate than the bedroom, a space separate from the rest of the house where we seek calm, serenity, peace and a little bit of magic. A wallpaper design featuring fish with a background in a darker shade of blue is the perfect way to lead us to a tranquil and serene night of rest.

Bathroom

The wet room in the house is the ideal candidate for décor associated with marine life. Whether you dream of exotic holidays by the warm, turquoise sea or prefer to lose yourself in the immense depths of oceanic blue, a fish-themed wallpaper can provide the visual cues for a relaxing break from the stresses of everyday life.

Nurseries

A happy school of fish, a dolphin and a few starfish are just some of the marine life depicted on a fish wallpaper that can fascinate babies and toddlers alike. They create an interesting background for babies to fix their gaze on as there is always something new to discover. They are a great tool for keeping the little bundles of joy engaged and encourage them to learn more about the world.

Which are the most popular colours for wallpapers with fish motifs?

When looking at the spectacular variety of oceanic life depicted on fish-themed wall décor, it is hardly surprising that the preferred background colour tends to be blue in all its shades, from lighter hues to cobalt, aqua and navy. Nurseries and children rooms tend to feature fish wallpaper in brightly coloured varieties.

Navy

Mirroring the depths of the endless ocean, navy is a great colour to emphasise the details of the variety of sea life depicted on a fish-themed wallpaper. Known to stand for trust and stability, it’s a traditional yet fresh colour that is less attention-seeking than lighter shades of blue and therefore perfect for highlighting works of art or antique furniture in statement rooms.

Multicoloured

Kids of all ages are endlessly fascinated by marine life. A tropical wallpaper featuring a cornucopia of colourful sea dwellers of all types and sizes is the perfect choice for a nursery. It provides a calming and soft background while at the same time offering visual stimuli babies and toddlers can engage with.

Blue

It goes without saying that blue in all its shades is one of the preferred colours when it comes to fish wall décor. Its serene beauty has a calming effect on the soul, lifting away the troubles of the day. As a background for marine life, a lighter shade can be uplifting, while in darker tones it adds a sophisticated, almost majestic flair.
