Wallpaper - Wings and Things IX

Our Wings and Things IX wallpaper pairs a cheerful, watercolour-style butterfly motif with an intricate geometric background. Created by Dina June, the central butterfly features soft coral pink, sunny yellow, and warm orange tones with delicate teal and dotted accents, framed neatly inside a crisp hexagon with a warm yellow border. Surrounding this focal medallion is a rhythmic repeat of angular corner strokes, concentric geometric shapes, and tidy rows of dots set against a pale blue-grey ground. The design brings a 1970s revival charm and playful personality to interiors, produced as a made-to-measure, PVC-free wall mural printed on paper with a subtle surface structure.

In the room

We see this design working especially well as a feature wall in a child's bedroom, nursery, or playroom, where the cheerful character and soft pastel palette bring a sense of wonder without overwhelming the room. Because the central medallion and butterfly create a distinct focal point, we recommend placing this wallpaper on a relatively open wall, such as behind a cot, low bed, or toy storage bench, so the complete illustrated framing remains clearly visible.

In a hobby room, creative study, or dressing room, the repeat of geometric line work and soft watercolour marks offers an uplifting, retro-inspired backdrop. The balance of warm coral and yellow against cool blue-grey keeps the overall impression light, making it suitable for compact rooms as well as larger family spaces.

Styling it

To complement the playful 70s revival aesthetic, we suggest pairing this wallpaper with light, warm wood furniture such as birch, ash, or light oak. Simple, clean-lined silhouettes keep the focus on the decorative pattern while grounding the space in a contemporary look.

• Choose painted furniture in soft off-white, buttermilk, or muted teal to echo the tones within the geometric pattern and butterfly wings.
• Introduce natural textiles such as woven cotton rugs and simple linen drapery to add soft physical texture alongside the painted-look visual detail.
• Keep wall-mounted shelving and decorative accessories understated so the hexagonal framed butterfly remains the main focal feature of the room.

Colour combinations

The wallpaper features a palette of coral pink, pastel yellow, warm orange, and muted teal, set against a soft pale blue-grey backdrop with white and golden yellow framing.

When choosing colours for surrounding walls, woodwork, and larger textiles, we like using a creamy warm white or soft off-white to maintain an airy, open feel. For a more cohesive, tonal scheme, pulling out the dusty teal from the butterfly's border works beautifully across painted skirting boards, door frames, or adjacent walls. Soft peach, pale terracotta, or muted pastel yellow also harmonise naturally with the warm tones of the wings.
