Wallpaper - Collage Insects VI

Our Collage Insects VI wallpaper brings an illustrative insect study to the wall using a distinctive layered paper and oil paint collage style created by Courtney Prahl. The design features vibrant pink wings with delicate blue pattern detailing, set against a light background with subtle vintage paper textures that give the artwork a collected, historic feel. What we particularly appreciate is how the combination of expressive paint marks and crisp cut-paper edges creates visual depth without cluttering the room. Made-to-measure on PVC-free paper with a subtle surface structure, this design offers an artistic alternative for nature-inspired interiors.

In the room

We see this wallpaper working beautifully as an accent wall in a bedroom, nursery, or child's bedroom where the illustrative character can become a gentle focal point. The balance of soft background tones and lively pink wing details means the design has presence without overwhelming smaller spaces. On a feature wall behind a cot, a bed, or a low reading bench in a playroom, the motif remains clear and easy to appreciate up close. In rooms with steady daylight, the layered textures in the paper and brushwork reveal their finer nuances throughout the day.

Styling it

The playful yet classic nature of this collage motif invites a thoughtful balance of simple shapes and warm, natural materials:

• Pair the wall with pale timber furniture, such as natural ash or light birch, to keep the surrounding space feeling airy and grounded.
• Choose understated textiles in soft cotton or washed linen to let the graphic forms and painterly details of the insect take visual priority.
• Introduce gentle accents in powder blue or blush rose through smaller decorative pieces, tying the room together without competing with the main illustration.

Colour combinations

The palette of our wallpaper centres on a clean, light base accented with vivid pink, soft powder blue, and neutral paper tones. When planning adjoining walls or woodwork, we suggest pairing it with chalky off-whites or soft creams to keep the backdrop quiet and unified. For a slightly warmer look, subtle blush tones on adjacent painted surfaces complement the insect's wings, while a pale slate or duck-egg blue on skirting boards or doors picks up the finer painted marks within the pattern.
