Wallpaper - Social Butterflies III

Our Social Butterflies III wallpaper by Chris Paschke captures an expressive, painterly study of delicate butterflies among fluid botanical greenery. Fluid watercolour washes in soft yellow, subtle grey, and fresh sage green are defined by confident, calligraphic ink outlines against a clean white ground. The translucent layering gives the composition an airy, open feel that brings a sense of quiet artistry to any interior. Our wallpapers are made-to-measure to your exact wall dimensions and printed on PVC-free paper with a subtle surface structure, making them straightforward to hang.

In the room

We see this design working beautifully in spaces where you want a calm yet artistic focal point. In a bedroom, it sits naturally behind a headboard, where the generous white space creates an uncrowded, serene atmosphere. It is equally suited to a light-filled living room or dining room on a main accent wall, allowing the delicate brushwork and ink details to be appreciated up close. Because the background is crisp and open, the pattern also works well in smaller, quieter rooms such as a dressing room, home office, or study without overwhelming the surrounding space.

Styling it

To complement the fluid watercolour technique and Asian zen influence, we suggest pairing this design with simple, uncluttered furnishings. Mid-toned or lighter natural wood pieces, such as ash or light oak, sit comfortably alongside the botanical greens and soft yellows. Keep surrounding textiles quiet with simple cotton or woven upholstery in neutral off-white or soft grey to let the wall mural remain the primary visual feature. Ceramic table lamps, simple earthenware, or subtle black metal accents echo the fine ink outlines in the motif without competing with its delicate composition.

Colour combinations

The palette in our wallpaper centres on fresh sage and olive greens, soft sunny yellow, muted charcoal grey, and clean white, accented with subtle slate-blue ink outlines. When decorating around this design, adjacent walls in soft off-white, warm stone, or pale grey keep the room feeling unified and light. For subtle contrast in painted woodwork, cabinetry, or accent cushions, pull through the dusty sage green or quiet slate tones from the foliage.
