Wallpaper - Butterfly

Created by Morgan Birch, our Butterfly wallpaper centres on a prominent insect motif rendered with an expressive, painted look. Set against a deep green backdrop, the composition frames the central butterfly with delicate foliage, pale blossoms, and bright botanical branches. The wings combine pale cornflower blue, chalky white, and graphic black details, punctuated by cherry red accents along the antennae, body, and wing borders. Our mural wallpapers are made to measure and printed on PVC-free paper with a subtle surface structure, making it straightforward to introduce a bold, artistic focal point into your interior.

In the room

Because the motif features a large, centralised subject framed by botanical details, we find this design works best on an uninterrupted feature wall where the entire composition can unfold without being cut off by tall furniture. In a bedroom, placing it behind the headboard creates an engaging focal point while letting the deep green ground bring an enveloping feel to the space. It is equally effective across a main wall in a living room, dining room, or a creative home office. For a child's bedroom, nursery, or playroom, the illustrative style and playful touches of red add character and warmth without feeling overly busy.

Styling it

To balance the bold presence of the artwork, we suggest pairing this design with furniture that has clean, grounding silhouettes. Unpainted wooden furniture in mid-toned or darker finishes complements the organic feel of the woodland foliage. When choosing soft furnishings, simple woven fabrics in solid tones prevent the room from feeling visually crowded, allowing the hand-painted character of the wallpaper to remain the centrepiece of the scheme.

Colour combinations

The wallpaper is built around a rich dark green backdrop, offset by soft blue, clean white, and striking cherry red. When decorating the surrounding space, you can echo the deep forest green on adjacent walls or woodwork for an immersive, cohesive look. Alternatively, pairing the mural with soft off-white or muted cream paint lets the deeper background stand out in crisp contrast. Small decorative accents in warm red or soft sky blue will pick up on the specific tones found within the butterfly wings.
