Wallpaper - Papillion II, Aqua on Mud

Our Papillion II, Aqua on Mud wallpaper by RNM Arts pairs vibrant aquamarine blue butterflies with delicate botanical motifs against a deep, earthy brown mud backdrop. The illustrated butterflies, patterned with crisp white markings, dance across the surface alongside green leaves and daisy-like blooms with warm yellow centers. With its watercolor-inspired visual character and balanced layout, the composition offers a rich interplay between vivid tones and a grounding base. Made to measure on our PVC-free paper with a subtle physical surface structure, this design brings an artistic, whimsical presence to residential interiors.

In the room

We see this wallpaper working particularly well in spaces where you want depth and character without overwhelming the floor plan. In a bedroom, placing it behind the headboard creates an enveloping backdrop that lets the aquamarine butterflies stand out in ambient morning light. For a dedicated home art studio or meditation room, the rhythmic arrangement of natural forms provides visual interest that feels imaginative and grounded. The deep brown ground helps anchor larger walls, while the balanced repeat keeps the pattern legible across both open accent walls and narrower alcoves.

Styling it

The rich contrast between the earthy base and bright aquatic blues invites thoughtful interior pairings:

• Ground the space with medium-to-dark warm wood furniture or painted vintage pieces that echo the earthy depth of the wallpaper's background.
• Introduce tactile textiles in unbleached cotton, raw silk, or wool to soften surrounding surfaces while letting the illustrated motif take center stage.
• Balance the vibrant aquamarine wings with muted, matte ceramic decor and brushed antique brass hardware that pick up the warm yellow floral accents.

Colour combinations

The verified palette in our wallpaper centres on deep mud brown, vibrant aquamarine blue, crisp white, leafy green, and soft yellow. To complement these shades, we suggest pairing adjacent painted surfaces with warm off-whites, muted sand tones, or soft taupe to keep the focus firmly on the wall mural. If you prefer a richer, more cohesive look, deep espresso, mossy olive greens, or muted slate blues on trim and built-in cabinetry will effortlessly tie into the pattern's natural tones.
