Fish wallpaper is a wall covering printed with reef fish, koi, whales or full underwater scenes. Giffywalls has 100+ fish designs, 50+ wall murals and 60+ repeat patterns, each printed to your wall's exact size in centimetres. Pick peel and stick for a rental, or a paste-the-paper finish for a home you own.
What Kinds of Fish Wallpaper Can You Get?
You can choose from five main styles, from bright reef scenes to quiet line art:
- Tropical reef and underwater scenes: colourful, busy and full of movement. Try Whimsical Underwater Coral Reef Scene (wall mural).
- Koi and Japanese koi ponds: calm and balanced. Try Japanese Koi Pond Woodblock (wall mural) or Abstract Koi Fish (wall mural).
- Retro fish prints: the Anchovies Retro series comes in over a dozen colourways. Try Anchovies Bright Rainbow Fish on Royal Blue (wall mural).
- Kids' sea life: whales, dolphins, puffer fish and mermaids. Try Dolphins in The Sea (wallpaper).
- Line art and coastal prints: soft and minimal. Try Light Blue Echinoderms (wallpaper), a starfish and sea urchin pattern.
Which Rooms Suit a Fish Wall Mural?
A fish mural suits any room where you want a single feature wall, especially lounge rooms, kids' bedrooms, bathrooms and study nooks.
- Lounge room: a koi or reef scene behind the sofa gives the room a focal point. Keep the other walls white or warm sand.
- Kids' bedroom: bright reef fish and friendly whales grow with a child from toddler to tween. Browse our kids' room wallpaper range.
- Bathroom or ensuite: a sea life design brings colour without new tiles. Hang it on the wall furthest from the shower, and keep the room well ventilated.
- Study nook: a calm koi pond or watercolour scene, such as Watercolor Blue Underwater Fish (wall mural), sits behind a desk without being distracting.
Is Peel and Stick Fish Wallpaper Good for Renters?
Yes. Peel and stick is the go-to choice for renters, because the self-adhesive panels are designed to lift off when you move out. We offer two peel and stick finishes: Peel & Stick and Peel & Stick Fabric. Check your lease first, and test a small corner on painted walls before you start.
If you own your home, a paste-the-paper finish is the long-term option. There are six to choose from: Standard Paper, Premium Matte, Canvas Paper, Brush Stroke, Gold Line and Metallic Pearl. Not sure which to pick? Our peel and stick wallpaper collection shows the full self-adhesive range.
Should You Choose a Mural or a Repeat Pattern?
Choose a mural for one big feature wall, and a repeat pattern for small rooms or several walls.
- Wall mural: one scene, like a coral reef or koi pond, printed across the whole wall. It looks like artwork rather than wallpaper.
- Repeat pattern: a smaller fish motif tiled edge to edge. It's better for powder rooms, laundries and hallways, where a big scene would be cut off.
What Colours Go With Fish Wallpaper?
Colours that go well with fish wallpaper are the ones pulled straight from the design. In Australian homes these combinations work well:
- Ocean blues and teals with white walls, light timber and rattan
- Warm reef oranges and corals with terracotta, cane and honey-toned timber
- Petrol and deep navy, as in The Aquarium – Petrol (wall mural), with brass, dark timber and green plants
- Soft sage and cream retro prints with painted kitchen cabinets and linen
For a fuller coastal theme, see our nautical wallpaper, ocean view murals and underwater wallpaper murals collections.

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.
