Wallpaper - Koi Medallion, Blue

Created by designer Nina Leth, our Koi Medallion, Blue wallpaper brings a stylized aquatic motif into an elegant, structured repeat. A sweeping koi fish curves within an oval medallion frame, surrounded by flowing line work reminiscent of rippling water. Rendered in crisp cobalt, soft sky blue, and warm neutral tones, the pattern draws on classic chinoiserie aesthetics while maintaining a graphic clarity. Produced custom made to measure on PVC-free paper with a subtle surface structure, this design brings graceful movement and visual balance to feature walls and full rooms alike.

In the room

The repeating medallion structure gives this wallpaper a balanced, orderly rhythm that works exceptionally well across larger, uninterrupted living room walls or behind a headboard in a bedroom. In a dining room or entry, the vertical orientation of the framing ovals helps draw the eye upward, complementing standard and higher ceilings. Because the water-inspired background linework provides fine detail while the koi forms create clear focal anchors, the pattern remains captivating from across a room while offering delicate nuance up close. It also lends character to more compact spaces like a powder room or study, where the repeat wraps the room in continuous visual flow.

Styling it

To complement the classical, chinoiserie-inspired lines of the design, we would pair it with furniture that balances structure and elegance. Pieces with clean silhouettes or subtle curves in warm wood tones, such as teak or dark walnut, provide a grounded contrast to the airy blue and neutral palette.

Keep surrounding decorative elements relatively quiet to let the graphic repeat stand out. Tailored upholstered seating in neutral fabrics or smooth ceramic accents allow the intricate pattern to remain the primary visual focus without overwhelming the room.

Colour combinations

The palette centers on deep cobalt and softer cornflower blues set against an off-white, warm neutral ground. To build a cohesive interior, pull from the lighter background tones for adjoining walls, painted woodwork, or trim. Deep navy or midnight blue can be brought in through larger furniture pieces or drapery to echo the darker outlines of the medallions, while warm cream or sand tones in rugs and linens will soften the cool blues.
