Wallpaper - Social Butterflies VI

Our Social Butterflies VI wallpaper, created by Chris Paschke, brings together an abstract floral motif with the delicate, fluid character of a watercolour painting. Defined by expressive black ink outlines, a large pink bloom takes centre stage, surrounded by layered green and sage leaves set against a clean white backdrop. The translucent washes of pastel colour give the composition an airy, open feel, balancing soft organic forms with crisp graphic definition. Made to measure on our PVC-free paper with a subtle physical surface structure, this design brings a fresh, artistic presence to any wall without overwhelming the surrounding space.

In the room

We see this wallpaper working especially well in a bedroom, dressing room, or a quiet study where its light ground and gentle botanical subject create an inviting, uncluttered atmosphere. Because the composition relies on open space and fluid, large-scale petals, giving it a relatively uninterrupted wall behind a bed or sofa allows the full brushwork and ink detail to be appreciated. In a dining room or entryway, our mural wallpapers create a luminous focal point that catches natural daylight beautifully, letting the subtle tonal shifts in the sage and emerald leaves stand out across the room.

Styling it

The combination of painterly botanicals and clean black line work makes this design naturally suited to contemporary and organic modern interiors. To balance the soft pastel tones, we would introduce furniture with clean, defined silhouettes and quiet finishes.

• Choose warm, light-toned wood furniture such as pale oak or ash to complement the natural botanical theme while keeping the overall room feeling bright and open.
• Introduce understated black metal accents in lighting or furniture frames to quietly echo the graphic ink outlines of the floral petals.
• Keep surrounding textiles simple and textured, opting for off-white or unbleached woven fabrics that allow the watercolour wash to remain the primary visual focus.

Colour combinations

The palette of our wallpaper centres on soft petal pink and varying shades of sage and leaf green, anchored by sharp black contours on a white ground. When decorating around this design, we suggest drawing from the crisp white base for adjacent walls or woodwork to maintain an expansive, unified look. If you prefer more colour, subtle sage paint on neighbouring walls creates a tonal connection with the foliage, while muted pink or blush accents in cushions or throws bring out the warmth of the central bloom without competing for attention.
