Wallpaper - From the Butcher II

Created by artist Courtney Prahl, our From the Butcher II wallpaper brings an inventive collage aesthetic to a graphic animal silhouette. The design forms a pig profile through a lively patchwork of vintage newsprint fragments, bold typography, geometric dots, and painterly patterns. Set against a clean, warm cream ground, pops of vibrant orange, coral pink, navy blue, and slate grey balance the intricate paper textures within the figure. Printed as made-to-measure, PVC-free wall murals with a subtle structure in the paper, this characterful piece creates an artistic focal point full of personality.

In the room

We see this design working exceptionally well in a kitchen or dining area, where its culinary reference and playful character bring energy to the room. Because the artwork centers a distinct graphic silhouette against an open background, it functions beautifully as a feature wall behind an eat-in dining nook, across an open kitchen wall, or above low cabinetry.

On a broader wall, the motif has plenty of breathing room to stand out without competing with surrounding architectural features. The generous negative space keeps the room feeling uncluttered while the detailed collage elements invite closer viewing.

Styling it

To complement the eclectic and graphic quality of this design, we suggest pairing it with furniture and fixtures that celebrate honest materials and clean lines.

Warm wood dining tables in natural ash, birch, or pale oak sit comfortably alongside the cream background, allowing the bold colours in the collage to stand out. Simple painted shaker or flat-panel cabinetry in deep navy, off-white, or muted charcoal helps ground the surrounding space. We would keep smaller decorative accessories relatively understated, choosing matte ceramic tableware, simple glassware, and minimalist pendant lighting to let the wallpaper carry the pattern and narrative.

Colour combinations

The motif incorporates a rich mix of verified tones, including bright vermilion orange, warm coral pink, navy blue, slate grey, and newspaper sepia against an off-white paper base.

For adjacent walls and cabinetry, you can draw directly from the deeper tones with a rich navy or charcoal grey to create striking contrast. If you prefer a lighter, more seamless scheme, an off-white or soft linen shade that matches the background tone allows the mural wallpapers to float effortlessly within the room. A soft terracotta or muted peach can also echo the warm accents without overwhelming the space.
