Wallpaper - Collage Insects III

Our Collage Insects III wallpaper by Courtney Prahl brings a distinctive graphic character to the wall through a striking collage-inspired insect motif. Centred within a crisp off-white square, the stylised butterfly or moth features layered wings with painted pink and red textures, bold black-and-white patterned lower wings, and a slender body in marled green, blue, and yellow tones. The central vignette is framed by a vibrant warm yellow border and a backdrop of hand-drawn vertical stripes in matching golden yellow tones. Printed as a made-to-measure, PVC-free design with a subtle structure in the wallpaper paper, it offers an expressive balance of geometric framing and playful artistic detail.

In the room

We see this wallpaper working particularly well as an accent wall in creative spaces, children's bedrooms, playrooms, or an inspiring home study. Because the composition relies on a strong central focal motif surrounded by vertical yellow stripes, we would give it a relatively open wall where the central illustration is not obscured by tall wardrobes or large bookcases. In a compact bedroom, placing this design behind a headboard or a low desk allows the cheerful yellow stripes to extend upwards and bring a sense of height to the room, while the central butterfly motif anchors the space with genuine visual charm.

Styling it

When styling around this design, we prefer keeping large furniture relatively grounded and letting the wallpaper supply the main burst of colour and graphic energy. Low-profile furniture in pale painted finishes or warm natural wood tones complements the sunny yellow ground without competing with the detailed paper-cut textures. To balance the composition, we would introduce simple black accents or off-white ceramics in surrounding shelving, picking up on the monochrome patterns within the lower wings while keeping the rest of the room feeling light, intentional, and uncluttered.

Colour combinations

The palette in our wallpaper centres on rich sunshine yellow, offset by crisp off-white, deep charcoal black, and vibrant pops of cerise pink, ruby red, turquoise, and lime green. For surrounding walls, trim, or large upholstery, soft warm white, light biscuit, or muted cream shades provide a quiet backdrop that lets the yellow vertical stripes stand out comfortably. If you want to lean into the motif's bolder accents, styling adjacent elements in small doses of matt black or dusty coral pink creates a cohesive and lively interior rhythm.
