Wallpaper - New Life

Our New Life wallpaper, created by Krystal Adams, centers on a large-scale butterfly rendered with the rich visual character of an oil painting. Soft green wings, creamy beige sections, and warm terracotta and muted blue circular markings give the artwork an expressive, vintage-inspired presence. Set against a gently textured, pale neutral background with faint yellow undertones, the composition balances bold symmetry with painterly softness. Produced made-to-measure on PVC-free paper with a subtle physical surface structure, this design brings an artistic focal point into the home.

In the room

Because of the butterfly's central composition and grand scale, this design works particularly well on an uninterrupted focal wall where the entire wingspan can be seen without heavy visual breaks. We see it working beautifully in a bedroom behind a low headboard, in a welcoming entryway, or centered in a living room seating area.

The painterly nature of the design also lends itself naturally to dedicated creative or quiet spaces, such as a study, home office, or reading corner. In more compact settings like a dressing room or powder room, positioning the mural on the main visual axis creates an immediate sense of character without overwhelming the room.

Styling it

The distinct retro influence and painterly brushstrokes pair naturally with both eclectic and vintage-leaning interiors. We would lean into warm, mid-tone wood furniture to complement the earthy tones in the wings, keeping silhouettes relatively clean so the artwork remains the central focus.

For surrounding textiles, we recommend choosing understated woven fabrics in natural ecru, warm sand, or unbleached tones. Accents in muted terracotta, sage, or antique brass help echo the detailed circular patterns on the wings without cluttering the room.

Colour combinations

The design itself features a palette of soft sage greens, pale beige, and creamy yellows, contrasted by deep olive-brown outlines and vibrant accents of burnt orange, rust, and slate blue.

To create a balanced interior, we suggest pairing this mural with surrounding walls painted in warm off-white, light linen, or soft sand. For a moodier and more cohesive feel, picking up the deeper olive green or terracotta from the wing accents on adjacent walls, woodwork, or architectural trim creates a grounded, enveloping atmosphere.
