Fish Wallpaper

Fish wallpaper brings koi carp, coral reefs and sea life onto one wall or a whole room. Our collection has 104 designs, made up of 50 wall murals and 54 repeat-pattern wallpapers. Each one is printed to your wall in centimetres, so it fits a cloakroom, an alcove or a chimney breast without wastage.

Which Room Suits Fish Wallpaper?

Fish designs suit almost any room, but the right style changes from room to room. Here's how to match the design to the space.

Downstairs Cloakrooms and Bathrooms

A cloakroom is the easiest place to start. It's small, so a bold print won't overwhelm the house, and it doesn't get as steamy as a bathroom. A repeat pattern works better than a large scene here, because a mural gets cut off in a tiny room.

In a family bathroom, hang the design on the wall furthest from the shower or bath and keep the room well ventilated.

Nurseries and Children's Bedrooms

Sea life grows with a child. Choose soft, friendly characters for babies and bolder scenes as they get older.

Keep the cot, bed and shelves white or soft beige, so the wall stays the focal point. See more in our kids' room wallpaper and nursery wallpaper ranges.

Hallways, Landings and Studies

Koi carp give a calm, unhurried look that suits spaces you pass through or work in. A long Victorian hallway takes a wide koi pond mural well, and a study wall suits something softer.

Kitchen-Diners and Breakfast Nooks

Retro fish prints feel right next to food. The Anchovies Retro series has over a dozen colourways, from sage green on cream to rainbow fish on royal blue, so you can match it to your cabinet colour.

Sitting Rooms and Bedrooms

A full underwater scene makes a strong feature wall behind a sofa or headboard. Keep the other three walls plain so the mural does the work.

Choosing Your Finish

Every fish design is printed to order, so you pick the finish when you buy. There are two ways to hang it.

Paste-the-paper: you paste the back of each panel, then hang it. This is best for owner-occupied homes and long-term walls. There are six finishes:

  • Standard Paper
  • Premium Matte
  • Canvas Paper
  • Brush Stroke
  • Gold Line
  • Metallic Pearl

Peel and stick: self-adhesive panels you can lift off later. This is best for rented flats, student rooms and children's rooms you'll update. There are two finishes:

  • Peel & Stick
  • Peel & Stick Fabric

Test a corner first on freshly painted walls, and let new paint cure fully before hanging.

Colour Palettes That Work With Fish Designs

  • Blue and white: pair Delft-style prints with white woodwork and chrome for a crisp, coastal look.
  • Teal and sand: School of Uncanny Fish, Teal & Sand (wallpaper) sits well with oak floors and linen.
  • Deep navy and petrol: moody murals suit a snug, a dark cloakroom or a bedroom behind the headboard.
  • Warm retro brights: rainbow anchovy prints work with painted kitchen cabinets and brass handles.

What is fish wallpaper?

Fish wallpaper is a printed wall covering that features fish, ocean scenes, coral reefs, koi ponds, or underwater life as the main design. It comes in many art styles, from watercolor and vintage illustration to bold tropical reef photography. Buyers use it as a feature wall in bathrooms, nurseries, kids rooms, kitchens, and dining areas.

Is fish mural safe for bathrooms?

Yes, fish wall murals are suitable for most bathroom walls when you choose a matt or satin finish and avoid direct contact with the shower spray. Keep the room well ventilated and wipe the surface with a damp soft cloth to remove marks. Cloakrooms and downstairs powder rooms are the easiest fit because the humidity stays lower.

What rooms suit underwater and koi fish wall murals?

Underwater and koi fish themed wallpaper suit bedrooms, hallways, home offices, nurseries, and kids rooms. Koi pond designs feel calm and balanced, so they work well in places where you want quiet. Underwater scenes feel more active and suit feature walls behind a sofa, headboard, or bath.

Can I get fish pattern wallpaper as a peel and stick?

Yes, most fish print wallpaper designs are available as peel and stick or as paste-the-wall murals. Peel and stick suits renters, student rooms, and short-let homes because it lifts off most painted walls without leaving marks. Paste-the-wall suits long-term homes with smooth plaster.

How do I clean fish design wallpaper?

Wipe fish wall covering with a damp, soft microfiber cloth and a small amount of mild soap if needed. Avoid abrasive sponges, harsh chemicals, and soaking the surface. Test a hidden corner first to check how the print reacts to the cleaner you plan to use.

Is aquatic wallpaper good for nurseries and kids rooms?

Yes, soft pastel fish, friendly cartoon sea creatures, and gentle coral reef scenes work well in nurseries and kids rooms. For older children, bolder shark, whale, turtle, and tropical reef murals add more personality. Keep cots, beds, and shelves in plain colors so the wall stays the focal point.

How do I choose the right fish mural size?

Measure the width and height of the wall in centimeters, then add about two centimeters on each side to allow for trimming. Provide both numbers when you order, and the mural is printed to fit. For odd shapes like chimney breasts or sloped ceilings, measure the largest rectangle that contains the wall.
