Wallpaper - Collage Insects IV

Created by artist Courtney Prahl, our Collage Insects IV wallpaper combines mixed media textures and paper collage techniques to celebrate the natural world. The design centres on an artistic butterfly with graphic wings in soft pink and red tones, set against a subtle cream plaster-look background. The layered paper details and gentle painted textures give the motif an illustrative character that feels modern yet handcrafted. Like all our wall murals, this design is made-to-measure on PVC-free paper with a subtle physical structure, making it straightforward to hang while bringing a creative focal point to your walls.

In the room

We see this design working beautifully in spaces dedicated to play, rest, and imagination. In a nursery, toddler room, or children's bedroom, the expressive butterfly motif introduces colour and artistic detail without overwhelming the room. Because the artwork features a clean, cream background with a focused central composition, we particularly like placing it on a main feature wall, such as behind a cot, bed, or low shelving unit in a playroom. The generous open space around the collage elements keeps the wall feeling airy and light, allowing smaller rooms to retain a calm, open atmosphere.

Styling it

To complement the graphic collage style, we suggest pairing the wallpaper with simple, clean-lined furniture and soft textures:

• Choose light wood furniture or painted white pieces to echo the light plaster background and keep the space feeling relaxed and bright.
• Introduce gentle accents through textiles, such as a dusty rose cushion, a muted berry throw, or neutral curtains that pick up on the pink and red tones of the butterfly wings.
• Keep wall decor minimal around the main motif so the detailed mixed media artwork remains the clear visual focus of the room.

Colour combinations

The design is built upon a warm cream plaster base, complemented by delicate shades of pink, deeper red, and soft paper textures within the butterfly wings. When choosing paint colours for adjoining walls or woodwork, warm off-whites, creamy neutrals, and soft chalky tones will maintain a cohesive look. For a slightly richer palette, muted blush pinks or gentle terracotta tones drawn from the artwork will add warmth while keeping the overall interior balanced.
