Wallpaper - Social Butterflies I

Created by artist Chris Paschke, our Social Butterflies I wallpaper brings a light, botanical presence to the wall through delicate watercolour washes and fluid ink linework. Two blue butterflies rest among sweeping sage green foliage, where soft translucent colour blends against a crisp white background. The combination of gentle painterly washes and expressive black contours gives this wall mural a clean, airy character with a distinct artistic identity. Made-to-measure on our PVC-free paper with a subtle surface structure, it creates a calming focal point in bedrooms, living rooms, and dressing spaces.

In the room

In a bedroom or dressing room, we like positioning this mural wallpaper on the primary wall behind a bed or dressing table. The balance of generous white negative space and vibrant botanical shapes keeps the wall feeling open and uncluttered, preventing even smaller rooms from feeling enclosed.

In living rooms or open dining spaces, the design serves beautifully on a feature wall where the fluid movement of the branches can be enjoyed across an uninterrupted expanse. Because the composition carries its visual weight across soft organic curves rather than a rigid grid, it brings an easy sense of movement to quiet corners, reading nooks, or an entry hallway.

Styling it

To complement the delicate ink contours and watercolour aesthetic, we recommend keeping surrounding furniture clean-lined and understated. Contemporary Scandinavian or modern minimalist silhouettes in pale, unpainted timber let the botanical forms take centre stage without visual competition.

For textiles, simple woven cottons or natural matte fabrics in soft off-white and pale grey echo the clean paper background. You can mirror the black ink outlines through subtle decorative details, such as slim black metal frames, minimalist lighting fixtures, or ceramic planters.

Colour combinations

The design is built around sky blue, soft powder blue, and layered sage greens, set against an off-white background with expressive black ink accents.

When choosing paint colours for adjoining walls and woodwork, soft sage green or muted eucalyptus tones create a seamless, harmonious wrap around the room. For a brighter, minimalist scheme, crisp chalk white or soft warm white allows the blue butterflies to stand out distinctly. If you want to introduce a touch of contrast in accessories or cushions, subtle dusty rose, pale lavender, or deep charcoal accents tie the painterly palette together naturally.
