Wallpaper - Papillion II, Aqua on Cream

Our Papillion II, Aqua on Cream wallpaper by RNM Arts brings a lively rhythm of blue butterflies, green foliage, and stylised blossoms across a warm cream backdrop. Each butterfly is drawn with fine black line details and delicate white wing spots, creating a crisp contrast against the softer background. Stylised blue flowers with bright yellow centres anchor the botanical elements, giving the repeat an open, illustrative character that feels both playful and balanced. Like all our wallpapers, this design is made to measure and printed on PVC-free paper with a subtle surface texture.

In the room

We see this wallpaper working particularly well in spaces where you want a sense of gentle movement across the walls. In a bedroom or guest room, placing the design on the wall behind the headboard creates an inviting focal point without overwhelming the rest of the space. In a living room or dining room, the open repeat and airy cream ground allow the pattern to wrap comfortably around multiple walls, especially in rooms with generous natural light that brings out the fresh aquamarine tones. For a home office, dressing room, or an entryway, the illustrative butterfly motif adds personality to compact wall areas where you want character without visual clutter.

Styling it

To balance the illustrative nature of the motif, we suggest pairing this design with furniture that has clean, uncomplicated lines. Natural light oak or painted cream and off-white woodwork sit harmoniously alongside the wallpaper's base tone, keeping the overall interior feeling light and cohesive. In an eclectic or contemporary setting, subtle black metal accents in lighting or mirror frames will echo the fine black ink outlines of the butterflies, tying the wall art directly into the wider room scheme.

Colour combinations

The pattern centres on vibrant aquamarine blue, complemented by the fresh green of the leaves, sunny yellow accents in the flower centres, and the grounding warmth of the cream backdrop. For adjoining painted walls or woodwork, soft shades of warm off-white, buttermilk cream, or a muted pale blue will create a seamless transition. If you prefer a richer contrast, deep navy accents in upholstery or cushions can draw out the darker outlines in the wings and ground the lighter tones across the room.
