Wallpaper - Blue Butterfly II

In our Blue Butterfly II wallpaper, artist Danhui Nai creates an intricate composition centred on a single, symmetrical butterfly silhouette filled with delicate botanical flourishes and painterly scrolls. Rendered in a classic palette of cobalt, porcelain blue, and crisp white, the design carries the visual character of fine porcelain painting and decorative folk art. The gentle contrast and detailed brushstroke appearance give the motif an airy, artistic presence on the wall. Produced to your exact dimensions, our made-to-measure mural wallpapers are PVC-free and printed on paper with a subtle surface structure.

In the room

Because of the strong central focus and symmetrical wings, we see this design working exceptionally well on an accent wall where the motif has space to breathe. In a master bedroom or guest room, it creates a striking focal point positioned centrally behind a bed or low headboard. The design also translates beautifully into a dining room, hallway, or powder room, bringing a tranquil, curated feel to both compact corners and wider feature walls.

For living rooms and garden rooms, giving this wallpaper an uninterrupted wall ensures the delicate floral tracery remains fully visible. The crisp white background keeps the overall atmosphere bright and open, while the layered blues introduce decorative depth without overwhelming the space.

Styling it

We would keep the surrounding interior scheme relatively calm to let the ornate detail of the butterfly take pride of place.

• Pair with painted furniture in soft off-white, chalky ivory, or deep navy to echo the porcelain-inspired tones in the artwork.
• Introduce natural, textured fabrics such as slubbed linen drapery or a woven cotton throw to balance the refined graphic lines.
• Incorporate subtle glazed ceramics or clear glassware that complement the fresh, classic blue-and-white aesthetic.

Colour combinations

The design itself is built entirely on a clear two-tone relationship: rich cobalt and shaded sky blue set against a clean white ground.

When choosing paint colours for adjoining walls, woodwork, and architectural trim, consider crisp whites or pale warm whites to maintain an expansive, light-filled look. For a moodier, more traditional look, pulling out the deepest midnight or indigo blue from the wing borders creates a sophisticated frame for the motif. Soft grey-blue or muted duck egg tones on surrounding walls also create a gentle, tonal transition that feels effortless and cohesive.
