Wallpaper - Butterfly

Our Butterfly wallpaper by Morgan Birch centres on an expressive, hand-painted style butterfly surrounded by foliage, delicate blossoms and small berries. Set against a deep, dark green ground, the wings combine soft powder blue, off-white, black linear patterns and cherry red accents that give the motif an inviting, decorative character. The rich oil paint look brings a painterly warmth to the wall, making it a distinctive focal point for an accent wall or an intimate room. Like all our mural wallpapers, this design is made-to-measure and printed on PVC-free paper with a subtle surface structure.

In the room

We especially like how this wallpaper anchors a space when used across an uninterrupted feature wall. In a bedroom, placing it directly behind the bed creates a striking, storybook atmosphere, while in a nursery, toddler room or playroom, the whimsical insect motif and friendly painted shapes feel bright and engaging. The deep green backdrop adds depth to compact spaces such as a downstairs cloakroom, bathroom or home study, giving smaller walls a cocooning feel. In a dining room or living room, we would give the design enough open breathing room so the full scale of the butterfly and leafy branches can be appreciated.

Styling it

Because the artwork has a vivid, illustrative personality, we suggest pairing it with clean, unhurried furniture that lets the wall mural take centre stage. Natural woodwork in mid-tone or warm timber finishes balances the painterly green backdrop, while painted furniture in soft off-white or deep forest green echoes the motif naturally. To balance the composition, choose smooth, tactile textiles such as flat-weave rugs and simple linen drapery rather than competing geometric patterns. Matte ceramic lamps or understated lighting fixtures will keep the visual focus on the rich details of the wings and foliage.

Colour combinations

The artwork is built around a deep green base, layered with soft sky blue, creamy white, charcoal black, vibrant cherry red and touches of warm ochre. When decorating around this wallpaper, pulling the cherry red into smaller accents, such as a cushion piping or a table lamp base, ties the room together with energy. For surrounding walls, woodwork and doors, muted sage greens, warm off-whites or pale stone create a calm frame that allows the central butterfly motif to stand out clearly.
