Wallpaper - Butterfly Postcard

Our Butterfly Postcard wallpaper captures the nostalgic charm of a nineteenth-century French correspondence. Designed by Deborah Revell, the motif centres on an eye-catching butterfly with patterned yellow and brown wings resting on vibrant red blooms, set against an aged, off-white postcard backdrop complete with cursive script and a classic postmark. We print this design as a made-to-measure mural on our PVC-free paper, giving you a distinctive, artful focal point for your home.

In the room

Because the motif is composed like an authentic vintage document, we find this wall mural works exceptionally well on an accent wall where the delicate script and botanical illustration have space to be enjoyed up close. In a living room or a dedicated home library, it establishes a warm, reflective atmosphere. The composition naturally draws the eye, making it particularly effective behind a reading armchair or positioned alongside tailored shelving where the graphic details remain clearly visible.

Styling it

To complement the heritage character of the print, we suggest pairing this mural wallpaper with classic, thoughtful interior pieces:

• Ground the space with dark timber furniture, such as antique walnut or mahogany, to echo the deeper brown tones within the butterfly's wings.
• Introduce upholstery in unbleached linen or textured wool to balance the graphic nature of the cursive script.
• Incorporate subtle vintage brass accents in lighting or hardware to harmonise with the warm, sunshine yellow highlights of the illustration.

Colour combinations

The palette within the design brings together soft parchment tones, sunshine yellow, earthy browns, and deep botanical reds. When selecting surrounding paint shades, we like to pair this wallpaper with warm antique whites, muted creams, or soft earthy neutrals on adjoining walls. For a richer, more enveloping feel in a reading nook or study, a muted madder red or deep olive paint on skirtings and architraves picks up the floral tones beautifully.
