Wallpaper - Papilion Chase Green

Created by designer Janelle Penner, our Papilion Chase Green wallpaper brings a rich natural world into the home through detailed moths, beetles, and delicate botanical sprigs set against a deep emerald green backdrop. What we particularly like about this design is the balance between its painterly watercolour appearance and the symmetrical, vintage-inspired arrangement of the insects and foliage. Earthy ochre, warm orange, soft cream, and muted sage leaves create a lovely visual warmth across the dark ground. Like all our wall murals, it is made-to-measure on PVC-free paper with a subtle surface structure that hangs beautifully.

In the room

The deep background and rhythmic repeat give this design an enveloping quality that works exceptionally well in spaces where you want a sense of character and warmth. We see it working particularly well across all four walls of a dining room, study, or home library, where the intricate details invite closer inspection. In a bedroom or dressing room, using it on a feature wall behind a bed or dressing table creates an atmospheric focal point without overwhelming the space. Because the motifs are evenly spaced and balanced by smaller floral sprigs, the pattern also sits comfortably along hallway staircases and entryways where the wall area is naturally broken up by doors and architectural details.

Styling it

To complement the rich heritage feel of the motif, we would pair this wallpaper with warm, natural materials that echo its earthy palette.

• Warm wood furniture in tones like antique pine, walnut, or vintage oak anchors the deep green ground and reinforces the classic English country aesthetic.
• Soft woven upholstery and curtains in natural linen, oat, or muted rust add texture and keep the surrounding room balanced and calm.
• Decorative accents in aged brass or antique bronze connect naturally with the warm ochre and golden-brown tones in the moth and beetle wings.

Colour combinations

The design is built on a deep emerald green base, punctuated by warm ochre, burnt orange, pale cream, and dusty sage green. When selecting paint for adjacent walls, skirting boards, or ceiling beams, a warm off-white or soft linen creates a clean, classic contrast that lets the wallpaper remain the central focus. If you prefer a moodier, more unified scheme, pulling out a rich forest green or dark olive for the woodwork will wrap the room in colour. For accent pieces and upholstery, muted terracotta, rust, and warm mustard tones draw directly from the painted details in the artwork.
