Wallpaper - Papillion II, Tomato & Purple

Our Papillion II, Tomato & Purple wallpaper pairs vivid cherry red butterflies with purple blossoms, bright yellow centers, and lush green leaves set against a deep, dark backdrop. The contrasting black and white details on the butterfly wings create a graphic, whimsical rhythm across the wall, giving the botanical motif an expressive presence. Designed by RNM Arts, this design brings together an eclectic, ink-drawn character with an energetic palette that instantly lifts a space. Produced made-to-measure on our PVC-free paper with a subtle surface structure, it is straightforward to hang and easy to live with.

In the room

Because of the high-contrast palette and dark background, we particularly like using this design where you want the wall to carry the primary visual energy. In a bedroom, it works wonderfully as a feature wall behind a headboard, framing the bed while allowing the rich colours to define the atmosphere. In a dining room or living room, running the pattern across a wider, uninterrupted wall gives the full repeat room to breathe, letting the eye travel naturally between the floral clusters and fluttering butterflies.

For more intimate residential spaces like a dressing room, home office, or powder room, our mural wallpapers can envelope the entire room to create an immersive, maximalist feel. In rooms with generous daylight, the contrast between the deep ground and the bright tomato red tones reads with striking clarity, while under softer evening lighting, the purple and ink-dark tones add depth and intimacy.

Styling it

When styling around this wallpaper, we suggest balancing its lively pattern with solid surfaces and clean silhouettes:

• Pair the walls with sleek, contemporary furniture or mid-century pieces in rich, dark timber or painted black finishes to echo the deep backdrop without competing with the motif.
• Keep large upholstery and bed linens relatively neutral in off-white, deep charcoal, or muted olive, allowing the cherry red and purple botanicals to remain the focal point.
• Introduce subtle metallic accents in warm brass or brushed gold through lighting and hardware to pull out the sunny yellow centres of the flowers.

Colour combinations

The palette in our wallpaper centres on intense cherry red, deep purple, and bright yellow blossoms grounded by fresh leafy greens on a dark base. When choosing colours for adjacent painted walls, woodwork, or major furnishings, consider deep charcoal or soft black to extend the immersive mood of the background. If you prefer a lighter contrast, a muted sage green or a warm, creamy off-white on trim and doors will soften the boundaries and highlight the organic foliage.
