Wallpaper - Bold Butterfly II

Our Bold Butterfly II wallpaper presents a striking insect study by Farida Zaman, set against a rich, dark backdrop. The central butterfly motif features earthy brown and greyish wings brought to life with dabbed accents of yellow, orange, and crisp white. Painted visible brushwork gives the piece an authentic fine-art presence with graphic clarity, making it a distinctive focal point for accent walls or statement interiors. Produced custom made-to-measure on PVC-free paper with a subtle surface structure, this design is straightforward to hang and brings an artistic touch to your home.

In the room

Because of the bold central focus and dramatic dark background, we particularly like this design positioned on a main feature wall where the butterfly motif has plenty of space to breathe. In a study, library, or home office, it creates an intimate, considered atmosphere when placed behind a desk or reading chair. It also works beautifully in an entryway or powder room, where the deep tones and clear specimen-style artwork give smaller spaces an immediate sense of identity. In a dining room or bedroom, giving this mural wallpaper an uninterrupted wall allows the painted details and warm accent colors to anchor the entire room without competing with surrounding architectural features.

Styling it

When decorating around this design, we suggest leaning into heritage or classic interior influences while keeping larger surrounding surfaces relatively grounded. Furniture in warm wood tones, such as antique walnut, dark oak, or even simple painted black timber, naturally echoes the depth of the dark background.

To complement the expressive character of the artwork, incorporate tactile elements like woven upholstery, natural leather, or brushed brass lighting that catches the warm ochre tones in the wings. Keeping large rugs and window dressings in neutral, solid weaves helps ensure the room feels cohesive and allows the painted brushwork on the wall to remain the primary visual focus.

Colour combinations

The palette within our wallpaper is grounded in deep dark tones and muted brown, energized by flecks of warm marigold yellow, muted orange, and soft white. When choosing surrounding paints for adjacent walls or trim, deep charcoal or off-black can create an enveloping, moody effect. Alternatively, pairing the wallpaper with warm off-white, chalky cream, or pale stone on trim and adjacent walls provides a crisp contrast that highlights the detailed wing patterns. For subtle accent touches in cushions or ceramics, muted mustard and warm terracotta connect effortlessly back to the painted brushstrokes.
