Wallpaper - Social Butterflies V

Created by artist Chris Paschke, our Social Butterflies V wallpaper brings a light, painterly feel to the wall with its delicate watercolor butterfly motif. Translucent wings washed in soft blue and light green pair with gestural green and gray botanical leaves, while fine black ink outlines give definition to the fluid brushstrokes. The clean white backdrop provides generous negative space, keeping the overall composition open, airy, and balanced. Printed to order as made-to-measure wall murals on our PVC-free paper with a subtle surface structure, this design offers a fresh artistic touch for contemporary spaces.

In the room

We see this wallpaper working beautifully in rooms where you want visual interest without overwhelming the space. In a bedroom or guest room, placing the design on the wall behind the headboard creates a soft focal point that catches morning light without making the room feel busy. Because of the open white ground and light tonal values, it also sits comfortably across multiple walls in a nursery, toddler room, or home office. In a hallway or entryway with good natural light, the subtle gradations of green and blue in the watercolor wash become especially clear and inviting.

Styling it

To complement the delicate ink and watercolor quality of this mural wallpaper, we suggest pairing it with clean-lined furniture in pale blonde woods or painted neutral finishes. Keeping larger furniture relatively quiet allows the painterly forms of the butterfly and foliage to remain the visual center of the room. Soft linen bedding or drapery in pale sage, muted sky blue, or warm off-white echo the gentle palette without competing with the pattern.

Colour combinations

The design itself features soft sage green, watery pale blue, muted leaf green, and cool gray against an open white ground, punctuated by thin black linework. For surrounding painted walls and woodwork, soft off-white or light warm gray will maintain an airy, cohesive flow throughout the room. If you want to introduce gentle accent shades in upholstery, cushions, or ceramics, picking up the muted sage or soft slate blue from the wings creates a balanced, harmonious look.
