Wallpaper - Mariposa

Created by Haley Knighten, our Mariposa wallpaper presents a bold, symmetrical butterfly centered against a warm, light cream background. The wings feature a painterly blend of soft pastel pink, warm coral, and golden orange tones, framed by dark graphic borders with circular pattern accents. Fine black veining runs across the wings, balancing the expressive brushwork with clear structure. We produce our wallpapers made-to-measure on PVC-free paper with a subtle physical surface texture, creating an artistic focal point that brings energy and warmth to any interior.

In the room

Because the butterfly forms a large, central graphic statement, this design works best on an uninterrupted feature wall where the full wing span can be viewed without heavy obstruction. In a bedroom, we like positioning it directly behind the bed headboard or centered on the primary wall facing into the room. It also brings a bright, playful character to children's rooms, nurseries, playrooms, and teenage rooms, where the cheerful palette adds instant warmth. For a dressing room or creative living room, letting this mural wallpaper take over a central alcove or dedicated accent wall gives the space a distinctive, eclectic personality.

Styling it

The graphic presence and vivid warm tones of the design call for surrounding furnishings that either balance its energy or embrace its playful nature.

• Choose low-profile furniture in natural blonde wood or clean painted finishes so the central butterfly remains the focal point of the room.
• Bring in soft textiles like woven throws or cushions in muted terracotta, blush pink, or warm linen to echo the tones in the wings without competing for visual attention.
• Add simple, sculptural ceramic pieces or matte black metal accents that reflect the graphic dark outlines of the butterfly wings.

Colour combinations

The palette inside our Mariposa design is built around soft pastel pink, warm coral, golden orange, and dark espresso borders, set against a gentle cream base. When painting adjacent walls or selecting room trim, creamy off-whites and soft warm ivories create an open, harmonious backdrop that lets the motif stand out cleanly. For a richer, more enveloping feel, warm terracotta, soft peach, or dusty blush tones drawn directly from the wing gradient tie the entire room together naturally.
