Wallpaper - From the Butcher II

Our From the Butcher II wallpaper by Courtney Prahl brings a playful, artistic character to the wall through a distinctive collage-style pig silhouette. Set against a clean, off-white background, the animal is assembled from graphic paper cut-outs, featuring bold typography in bright orange and deep blue, geometric pink and yellow patterns, grey textures, and vintage-style newsprint. The combination of varied patterns, cheerful colours, and crisp outlines gives the design a graphic, post-modern feel that works as an expressive focal point. Like all our wall murals, this design is made-to-measure and printed on PVC-free paper with a subtle surface structure.

In the room

We see this design working particularly well in a kitchen or an informal dining space, where its culinary reference and whimsical style add warmth and personality. Because the pig motif forms a clear, standalone focal piece on a calm background, it suits an accent wall behind a dining table, along a breakfast nook, or on an open kitchen wall with minimal upper cabinetry. In a compact dining area, keeping the surrounding wall relatively uncluttered allows the graphic details and layered lettering to stand out clearly.

Styling it

The collage aesthetic pairs naturally with modern rustic and eclectic interiors. We would balance the wallpaper's playful geometry by pairing it with simple wooden dining furniture, such as warm oak or natural pine, which complements the vintage graphic look. To keep the focus on the artwork, keep surrounding shelving and wall decor relatively minimal, perhaps adding plain glazed ceramics or simple black metal light fixtures that echo the dark outlines in the illustration.

Colour combinations

The illustration combines a rich mix of energetic colours, including bright orange, soft pink, mustard yellow, muted slate grey, and dark navy blue, all framed on a light ivory ground. For surrounding walls and woodwork, a soft warm off-white or creamy neutral creates a seamless backdrop that lets the motif take centre stage. If you prefer more colour, bringing out the deep navy or a muted terracotta on adjacent cabinetry, chair frames, or painted trims ties the whole room together beautifully.
