Wallpaper - Social Butterflies II

In our Social Butterflies II wallpaper, artist Chris Paschke combines expressive ink brushwork with soft watercolor washes. Two butterflies in muted beige and gray float among painterly leaves rendered in sage green and subtle blue tones, set against an airy white ground. What we particularly appreciate about this mural wallpaper is the balance between the bold, calligraphic black outlines and the delicate, transparent paint layers. Our wallpapers are made-to-measure to your exact wall dimensions and printed on PVC-free paper with a subtle surface structure.

In the room

Because the motif has an open composition with generous negative space around the butterflies and foliage, this design works especially well where you want a calm visual focus without overwhelming the room. In a bedroom or nursery, we like placing it on the primary wall behind the bed or crib, allowing the delicate botanical elements to frame the sleeping area. It also suits a light-filled dressing room, art studio, or living room accent wall, where the fluid brushstrokes bring an artistic quality to the space.

Styling it

We recommend pairing this wallpaper with light, natural finishes that echo its airy watercolor feel. Furniture in pale woods or painted off-white complements the neutral butterfly tones without competing with the ink linework. Simple textiles in unbleached cotton or soft woven fabrics work nicely alongside the botanical greens, keeping the overall interior feeling relaxed and uncluttered.

Colour combinations

The wallpaper features a palette of soft sage green, pale blue, warm beige, and cool gray, anchored by clean black ink strokes on white. For adjacent walls and trim, warm off-whites, pale limestone, or soft sage tones create a seamless backdrop. If you want a deeper contrast, pulling out charcoal or slate accents in lighting or smaller decor pieces will highlight the dark outlines in the wings.
