Wallpaper - Butterfly

Our Butterfly wallpaper, created by Morgan Birch, centers around a large, graphic moth or butterfly framed by leafy botanical branches and delicate flower blossoms. Set against a deep, dark green ground, the design uses an oil paint style that gives the cherry red, soft cornflower blue, white, and black wing patterns an expressive, painted appearance. The vivid contrast between the bright red body, crisp pale wings, and rich backdrop creates an inviting focal point with a folkloric Arts and Crafts feel. Like all Wallism mural wallpapers, this design is made-to-measure and printed on PVC-free paper with a subtle surface structure.

In the room

Because of the bold central motif and strong scale, we think this design works best on a wall where the composition can be appreciated without being divided by tall wardrobes or high furniture. In a bedroom or nursery, placing the design on the main accent wall behind a headboard or crib gives the room an immediate sense of warmth and character.

In a living room, dining room, or welcoming entryway, the deep green backdrop creates a cozy, enveloping atmosphere. The balance of vivid cherry red and calming botanical greens also makes these wall murals a lovely choice for creative spaces like a home office or playroom, where the playful character adds energy without feeling visually cluttered.

Styling it

The distinct Arts and Crafts character and bold folk-art feel pair naturally with vintage, bohemian, and eclectic interiors. We recommend balancing the strong presence of the wallpaper with furniture that has clean or organic lines.

Mid-tone and dark wood pieces, such as walnut or warm oak, sit harmoniously alongside the rich green background. For surrounding textiles, choosing solid textures in natural linen, wool, or cotton helps anchor the room, allowing the detailed pattern on the wall to remain the primary visual focus. A few ceramic or painted accents that echo the soft blue or warm yellow tones in the berries can tie the whole space together effortlessly.

Colour combinations

The palette is built around deep forest green, cherry red, powder blue, soft white, and charcoal black, accented with small touches of berry red and blossom yellow.

When choosing paint colors for adjacent walls, trim, or woodwork, we recommend looking to the lighter tones in the motif. A soft, warm off-white keeps the room feeling open and fresh, while a muted sage or olive green creates a continuous, moody aesthetic. For a more adventurous, eclectic room scheme, picking up the cherry red on an accent door, painted chair, or window frame creates a striking, cohesive dialogue with the wings.
