Wallpaper - Elegant Moth II

Our Elegant Moth II wallpaper by Courtney Prahl places a detailed moth at the centre of an expressive, vintage-inspired collage. Set against a deep navy blue background reminiscent of a clear night sky, the wings showcase delicate patterns drawn with soft white, sage, and pale yellow tones. The blend of graphic pencil-style detailing and layered collage gives this piece a distinct Art Nouveau character that feels both grounded and artistic. Produced made-to-measure on our PVC-free paper with a subtle surface structure, our wallpapers are easy to hang and bring an intriguing focal point to any interior.

In the room

Because of the moth's central placement and graphic detail, we particularly like this design on an accent wall where the full composition has space to unfold. In a bedroom, it works naturally behind a headboard, grounding the sleep area with its darker, quiet backdrop. We also see this working well in a dining room or a dedicated home office, where the balance between the deep navy ground and the fine wing markings can be appreciated up close. In an entryway or guest room, placing the design on a feature wall creates an immediate sense of character without overwhelming the surrounding space.

Styling it

The vintage collage aesthetic pairs naturally with classic and heritage-led interior styles. We suggest keeping surrounding furniture relatively calm to let the detailed wings remain the focal point. Medium to darker wood tones, such as walnut or warm antique pieces, complement the vintage feel of the artwork, while upholstered seating in understated woven fabrics helps soften the strong navy background.

Colour combinations

The motif is defined by its deep navy blue base, balanced by muted sage, soft white, and pale yellow accents within the moth itself. For adjoining painted walls or woodwork, we recommend pulling out the lighter tones from the wings, such as a muted off-white or a pale, earthy green. If you prefer a richer atmosphere, continuing the deep navy onto adjacent walls or painted trim creates an enveloping, cohesive look.
