Wallpaper - Butterfly II

In our Butterfly II design by Deborah Revell, a wide-winged butterfly takes centre stage, defined by graphic black and charcoal grey outlines and delicate white dots against translucent wings. The motif rests on a soft, watercolour-style wash combining subtle blue, gentle yellow, and pale tones that create an airy, tranquil atmosphere on the wall. The balance between sharp, ink-like precision and fluid background shades gives this mural wallpaper a distinctly contemporary feel. Produced as made-to-measure, PVC-free wallpaper with a subtle paper texture, it introduces an artistic focal point suited to quiet living spaces and bedrooms.

In the room

Because of the scale and symmetry of the central butterfly, we particularly like this design as a feature wall behind a bed or centred along an open living room wall. Giving the motif an uninterrupted surface allows the full span of the wings and the delicate wash in the background to be appreciated without being divided by tall cabinetry. In a study or home library, placing our wallpaper behind a low desk or reading chair anchors the room with a calm, considered presence. In rooms with steady daylight, the soft contrast between the charcoal linework and the pale yellow and blue undertones becomes especially distinct.

Styling it

When decorating around Butterfly II, we suggest keeping surrounding elements restrained to echo its minimalist, modern character.

• Pair the wallpaper with low-profile furniture in clean, simple silhouettes so the symmetry of the butterfly remains the clear visual priority.
• Introduce dark metal details, such as charcoal or matte black lighting and slim frames, to pick up on the bold ink outlines of the wings.
• Use smooth painted surfaces and understated finishes rather than competing patterns, allowing the watercolour wash to bring gentle movement to the wall.

Colour combinations

The palette in our wallpaper centres on graphic charcoal grey, soft white, pale blue, and warm, gentle yellow. To build a balanced scheme around it, we recommend painting adjacent walls in an off-white, light chalky grey, or an understated muted blue drawn from the background. For larger furniture or upholstery, slate, charcoal, or cool neutral tones provide a grounded base, while minor accents in warm parchment or soft ochre quietly reflect the luminous touches in the wings.
