Wallpaper - Chrysanthemum Butterflies

Our Chrysanthemum Butterflies wallpaper, created by Danhui Nai, brings together an array of delicate butterflies fluttering across a warm sunshine yellow background. Rendered with a soft, watercolour-like visual character, each butterfly displays varied patterns and markings, from gentle spots to fine stripes in tones of white, orange, rich brown, and cool blue. The wings are captured open or softly folded, giving the composition an airy rhythm and a balanced distribution that feels lively yet poised. Like all our wall murals, this design is made to measure to your exact wall dimensions on PVC-free paper with a subtle physical surface structure.

In the room

In a bedroom, this design introduces a welcoming warmth without feeling overwhelming, making it especially effective on the wall behind a headboard where the butterflies can frame the space naturally. For a dining room or living room, we like seeing this wallpaper on a feature wall or across a bright, open seating area where the warm yellow base can interact with changing daytime light. In smaller rooms such as a dressing room, powder room, or home study, the evenly spaced repeat creates visual depth across more fragmented wall areas without crowding the room.

Styling it

We recommend pairing this design with quiet, warm interior elements that let the illustrated motif take centre stage:

• Select painted furniture in soft off-white, cream, or warm mid-toned wood to harmonise with the golden backdrop without competing with the detailed butterfly wing patterns.
• Introduce understated textiles in natural weaves such as unbleached cotton or washed linen to balance the illustrative quality of the artwork.
• Accent with subtle ceramic or brushed antique brass details that echo the heritage-inspired feel of the botanical and insect illustration.

Colour combinations

The wallpaper is built around a vibrant sunshine yellow base, complemented by the crisp white, bright orange, earthy brown, and slate blue details on the butterflies. For adjacent painted walls and woodwork, warm whites, clotted cream, or soft parchment shades create a seamless transition. If you prefer subtle contrast, a dusty slate blue or muted terracotta drawn from the butterfly markings works beautifully on woodwork, window frames, or upholstery.
