Wallpaper - Vintage Yellow Butterfly

Our Vintage Yellow Butterfly wallpaper brings together intricate botanical illustration and an artistic vintage aesthetic. Created by Deborah Revell, the design centres on a detailed butterfly rendered with a rich watercolour-like character, featuring distinct wing segments filled with warm yellow, orange, vibrant green, deep red, and touches of blue against soft brown and black markings. In the background, an aged, warm cream canvas is subtly layered with vintage musical notation, giving the composition a curious, heritage appeal. Printed as a made-to-measure, PVC-free wall mural, this design makes an expressive focal point that celebrates natural history and classic illustration.

In the room

Because the butterfly is composed as a prominent central artwork, we find this mural works best on a feature wall where the illustration can be appreciated in full. In a living room, it sits comfortably on an open wall behind a sofa or low sideboard, where the fine details of the wings and musical manuscript remain clearly visible. It is equally suited to a home study, library, or bedroom, creating a warm, contemplative mood. For hallway and staircase walls, the striking focal point provides an inviting decorative statement as you move through the home.

Styling it

To let the illustrative detail and vintage warmth stand out, we suggest pairing this wallpaper with furniture that carries classic or eclectic character. Warm wood tones such as antique pine, rich oak, or aged walnut complement the golden yellows and earthy browns of the motif. When selecting surrounding fabrics, consider understated natural materials in muted ochre, olive, or warm linen to echo the artwork without competing with its intricate patterns.

Colour combinations

The design features a rich palette of golden yellow, burnt orange, bright emerald green, and coral red, balanced by dark charcoal, deep brown, and soft parchment beige. When painting adjacent walls or woodwork, creamy whites and warm biscuit tones harmonise naturally with the musical backdrop. For a bolder, heritage-inspired scheme, pulling out the deep forest green or muted terracotta from the wings onto surrounding doors or panelling adds depth while anchoring the space.
