Wallpaper - Collage Insects III

Our Collage Insects III wallpaper by Courtney Prahl brings a distinctive graphic energy to the wall through a striking collage-style winged insect. Set against a warm yellow background patterned with vertical hand-drawn stripes, the central illustration rests within an off-white framed square. The insect itself combines painterly pink forewings, patterned monochrome hindwings with floral-inspired radiating motifs, and a marbled green and ochre body with a turquoise head. Made-to-measure for your specific wall dimensions, this PVC-free wallpaper has a subtle structure in the paper that gives the artwork a grounded, tactile appearance.

In the room

We see this design working particularly well as an accent wall in creative spaces, children's bedrooms, playrooms, or an eclectic home office. The composition features a bold central emblem surrounded by vibrant yellow stripes, making it an ideal focal point behind a bed, desk, or low credenza. In rooms where you want to introduce playfulness without overwhelming the entire perimeter, dedicating a single uninterrupted wall to this design allows the collage details and contrasting textures of the insect to take centre stage. The vertical stripes also add an appealing upward visual rhythm that works nicely in rooms with standard or slightly lower ceilings.

Styling it

Because the motif has a strong graphic identity and a vibrant palette, we recommend pairing it with furniture that carries simple, confident lines.

• Choose warm mid-tone wood or painted white furniture to keep the surrounding space feeling balanced and uncluttered.
• Introduce textiles in neutral cream, charcoal, or washed coral to echo the tones within the insect's wings without competing with the striped backdrop.
• Keep wall decor on adjacent walls minimal, allowing the central framed artwork of the wallpaper to serve as the primary visual anchor in the room.

Colour combinations

The palette is anchored by the cheerful sunshine yellow and warm off-white background, contrasted with deep black and graphic white in the lower wings. Pops of vivid magenta, coral pink, turquoise, and mossy green in the insect body bring layered colour into the composition. For adjacent painted walls and woodwork, soft off-whites or pale warm creams provide a calm transition. If you prefer a bolder, more enveloping atmosphere, a muted mustard or a soft sage green drawn from the insect's body will create a cohesive, design-led scheme.
