Dolphin wallpaper is a wall mural of dolphins in open water. It brings light and calm to a room rather than clutter. It suits children's bedrooms, bathrooms and hallways. Giffywalls prints each design to the exact width and height of your wall, so the water meets the skirting cleanly.
Why Dolphin Wallpaper Suits British Homes
Daylight here is soft and often grey. Very dark sea murals can go flat in it. Look for a design with sun rays, foam or a pale sky band. That keeps the wall open on a dull day. Parents in Bristol, Leeds and Manchester tend to pick the lighter watercolour scenes for this reason.
Want the whole reef rather than one pod? The wider underwater wallpaper murals range goes deeper, with coral, turtles and shoals of fish.
Period Homes and Rented Flats
Victorian and Edwardian Rooms
Older rooms give you good walls to work with. Try a sea scene on a chimney breast in a Victorian terrace. Or in the alcove beside it. High skirting and a picture rail frame the mural neatly. Keep the horizon line above the rail so the room still reads tall.
New Builds and Renting
Flat new-build walls take a big open-water scene well. There is no moulding to compete with. Renting in London or Glasgow? Take the peel and stick option. It lifts off at the end of a tenancy and leaves the paint alone, like the rest of our removable wallpaper range.
Choosing Your Dolphin Wall Mural
Think about how long the room needs to last. A cartoon pod is great at four and tired by nine. A watercolour or a silhouette will carry a child right through school. Photo-real scenes suit a bathroom or a landing better than a small bedroom, where they can feel a bit close.
What to Pair With It
Warm white and cream keep the room from feeling cold. Pale oak and rattan add a soft beach note. Navy bedding grounds a bright scene. Avoid strong greens, which make the water look murky.
- Children's rooms: the pod behind the bed.
- Bathrooms: a light scene, kept above the tiles.
- Hallways: a long horizon that stretches a narrow space.
- Nurseries: a soft watercolour wash rather than a photo.

FAQs
Which materials is best for wallpaper?
Wallpapers are made from standard paper, canvas paper, premium paper, peel and stick materials for durability and style.
How Do I Measure My Wall for a Wall Mural?
Measure the wall's width and height, adding 2–4 inches for trimming. Check for obstacles like windows or doors and note their dimensions. Double-check measurements before ordering!
How Do I Order Custom Size Wallpaper or Wall Mural?
Pick a design, enter wall dimensions, choose material, and place your order. Contact support for help!
Is dolphin wallpaper only for kids rooms?
No. While kids rooms are the classic use, silhouette, sunset, and photographic dolphin designs suit bathrooms, beach houses, and coastal hallways beautifully. The style of the mural, not the animal, decides how grown-up the wall feels.
Will a dolphin theme last as my child grows?
Better than most themes. Ocean scenes age gracefully. A watercolor pod that works in a nursery still looks right in a preteen room, which is why many parents choose dolphins over character-based walls that date quickly.
What colors pair with dolphin wallpaper?
The murals bring their own aquas, blues, and grays, so keep surrounding walls white, sand, or driftwood. Navy accents suit older kids, while coral and sunny yellow keep things playful for younger ones. Natural textures like jute and rope complete the beach feel.
Is every dolphin mural printed to my wall size?
Yes. Enter your wall's width and height and we print one continuous scene scaled to fit, so the pod swims exactly where you want it with no awkward cropping. Panels arrive numbered with hanging guidance.
Can I use dolphin wallpaper in a rental home?
Yes. Choose the peel and stick finish, which is self-adhesive and removable. It lifts off cleanly without damaging paint, so kids in rented homes can still have a full ocean feature wall.
