Wallpaper - A Blue Note Butterfly I

Our A Blue Note Butterfly I wallpaper, designed by Lisa Audit, centres on a finely detailed butterfly sketch set against a soft beige backdrop. Rendered in delicate sepia and taupe tones, the symmetrical wings display circular, eye-like markings and fine ink-style linework that give the motif a classic, handcrafted appearance. A subtle visual texture across the neutral ground softens the composition and gives the artwork room to breathe. Printed made-to-measure on our PVC-free paper with a subtle paper structure, it brings an understated vintage character to walls without overpowering the rest of the room.

In the room

Because the composition relies on a distinct central motif with generous open space around it, we see this wall mural working especially well on an accent wall where the delicate line work can be appreciated up close. In a bedroom, it makes a calm focal point placed behind a headboard. It also sits comfortably in a study, home library, or dedicated dressing room, where the heritage feel complements a quieter, more reflective atmosphere.

For living rooms and dining areas, we would give this design a relatively clear wall surface rather than placing high storage units directly in front of the pattern. That way, the complete silhouette of the butterfly remains visible. The neutral, low-contrast palette also allows our mural wallpapers to work across smaller rooms, such as a hallway or home office, without feeling visually crowded.

Styling it

The Victorian botanical character of the illustration pairs naturally with classic and English country interior styles. To balance the intricate detail of the ink sketch, we would combine this wallpaper with warm, painted furniture or mid-tone woods that echo the sepia shades in the wings.

Soft natural fabrics work best alongside the quiet beige background. Upholstery or window treatments in unbleached cotton, taupe wool, or muted earth tones help preserve the peaceful mood of the space. To keep the focus on the artwork, keep decorative accessories understated, opting for simple ceramics or antique-inspired accents rather than bold modern geometric forms.

Colour combinations

The palette within the wallpaper itself consists of soft beige, warm taupe, and deep sepia brown. These neutral tones are exceptionally easy to coordinate with surrounding painted surfaces and fixtures.

For adjacent walls and woodwork, warm off-whites, creamy neutrals, and soft stone shades create a seamless, cohesive flow. If you want to introduce subtle contrast, muted olive greens, soft sage, or deep vintage browns on surrounding millwork draw out the darker ink details while maintaining a grounded, heritage look.
