Wallpaper - Out Of The Box

Our Out Of The Box wallpaper by Kate Jarvik Birch presents an expressive, painted-looking composition featuring a detailed swallowtail butterfly rising from an open turquoise box. The interplay between luminous yellow wings, graphic black markings, and the rich blue tones of the box creates a striking focal point against a soft, off-white background. Printed made-to-measure on PVC-free paper with a subtle surface structure, this mural wallpaper brings a distinct artistic presence to an accent wall.

In the room

Because of the strong central subject and dynamic cast shadows, we see this wall mural working particularly well on an uninterrupted feature wall where the full artwork has space to be appreciated. In a bedroom or guest room, placing the design behind a low headboard allows the butterfly and the upper box lid to command the vertical plane without being obscured. In a creative home office, study, or living room, positioning the mural across a clear wall gives the room an engaging, contemporary focal point that draws the eye immediately upon entering.

Styling it

We recommend letting the bold artwork lead the room while keeping surrounding furniture relatively clean and grounded. Low-profile furniture in neutral upholstery or soft painted finishes helps balance the strong visual weight of the box and butterfly. Introducing subtle elements of dark metal or deeper charcoal in accent pieces can echo the crisp black linework of the wings, creating a cohesive dialogue between the mural and the interior without cluttering the space.

Colour combinations

The design itself is built on vivid turquoise and teal blues, warm sunny yellows, graphic black, small crimson accents, and a muted, neutral background. To complement the mural wallpapers, we suggest pairing adjacent walls with soft warm off-whites or pale greys drawn from the backdrop. For a moodier, more immersive interior, a deep slate blue or rich teal pulled directly from the box will anchor the space while making the golden tones of the butterfly appear even more vibrant.
