Wallpaper - Jewel Butterfly II

Created by artist Kristy Rice, our Jewel Butterfly II wallpaper mural places a striking watercolour butterfly against a clean, lightly textured pale ground. The wings glow in rich saffron orange and warm yellow tones, outlined with expressive dark brushwork and accented with delicate purple-blue spots and shimmering gold-toned paint splatters. Fine antennae and fluid painted flourishes give the central motif a light, expressive feel, making this design a warm artistic statement on an accent wall. Like all Wallism mural wallpapers, this design is made-to-measure and printed on PVC-free paper with a subtle surface structure.

In the room

Because the motif is designed as a singular, focal artwork, we see this working particularly well as a feature wall where the central illustration can breathe. In a bedroom or dressing room, placing this wall mural directly behind a bed headboard or vanity table frames the space with an inviting, creative character. It also feels right at home in a creative studio, home office, or teenage room where an energetic yet warm atmosphere is desired. Because the background remains light and open, the design brings visual impact without overwhelming compact rooms.

Styling it

We recommend keeping surrounding large furniture relatively quiet to allow the expressive brushstrokes and rich saffron tones of the wallpaper to hold the main visual attention.

• Pair the warm yellow and saffron palette with natural honeyed woods or soft cream-painted furniture to maintain a light, airy mood.
• Introduce textiles in subtle linen textures or unbleached cotton to echo the painterly, organic feel of the watercolour artwork.
• Consider small accents in dark bronze or matte black to subtly pick up on the butterfly's deep outline and anchor the room.

Colour combinations

The design centres on a warm spectrum of saffron orange, golden yellow, and painterly ochre, contrasted by rich dark brown lines and soft touches of lavender blue. When choosing paint colours for adjoining walls or woodwork, creamy off-whites, warm parchment, or gentle almond tones create a seamless, cohesive backdrop. If you prefer more depth, a muted earthy ochre or soft dusky terracotta on adjacent trims can beautifully draw out the richer tones within the butterfly's wings.
