Wallpaper - Papillion II, Aqua on Mud

Our Papillion II, Aqua on Mud wallpaper pairs stylized aquamarine blue butterflies with bright green foliage and daisy-like floral accents against a deep, earthy mud-brown ground. Designed by RNM Arts, the motif features detailed wing patterning dotted with white highlights, arranged in a rhythmic, symmetrical layout that carries a distinct watercolor-inspired visual character. The rich contrast between the vivid cool blues and the grounded dark backdrop gives the pattern an expressive presence on the wall. Produced made-to-measure on PVC-free paper with a subtle surface structure, this design brings an artistic, botanical aesthetic to residential interiors.

In the room

We particularly like this design in private retreat spaces such as a bedroom, an art studio, or a dedicated meditation room where its balanced rhythm and earthy palette can set the tone. The symmetry of the butterfly motif works beautifully on a central accent wall, such as behind a bedhead or framing a primary desk, giving the space clear visual focus without feeling chaotic. In larger rooms, the repeating flow of butterflies and florals can easily run across uninterrupted wall spans, where the contrast between the aquamarine wings and the dark brown base provides depth and visual grounding.

Styling it

To balance the graphic detail and rich contrast of this design, we suggest pairing it with furniture that has clean, grounded silhouettes.

• Choose warm or medium-toned wood furniture to harmonize with the deep, earthy undertones of the mud-brown backdrop.
• Introduce soft textile accents in muted cream, pale sage, or woven neutrals to balance the crispness of the bright green and white pattern details.
• In an eclectic or contemporary setting, incorporate subtle dark metal accents or ceramics with organic shapes that echo the botanical nature of the motif.

Colour combinations

The palette within our wallpaper is built on an earthy mud-brown base, contrasted by vivid aquamarine blue, fresh leafy greens, crisp white spots, and soft yellow floral centers.

When choosing paint colours for adjoining walls, woodwork, or built-in elements, we recommend looking to warm stone tones, soft muted greiges, or off-whites that offer a gentle transition away from the dark ground. For a more enveloping, continuous look, a deep warm brown or dark umber matching the background creates an intimate backdrop, while accents drawn from the paler floral whites keep trim and ceilings looking clean and defined.
