Wallpaper - Bold Butterfly II

A painterly butterfly takes centre stage in this expressive design by Farida Zaman, showcasing rhythmic dabs of yellow, orange, warm brown, and white across its wings. Set against a deep, dark backdrop with visible canvas-style brushstrokes, the motif balances natural curiosity with bold artistic character. What we particularly like about our design is how the painted texture gives the insect an organic, study-like presence, making it a compelling focal point in a room. Like all our mural wallpapers, this design is made-to-measure to your exact wall dimensions and printed on PVC-free paper with a subtle surface structure.

In the room

Because of the strong contrast between the dark ground and the vibrant wing markings, we see this wallpaper working especially well as an accent wall in a dining room, study, or master bedroom. In a dining area, placing the mural on an uninterrupted wall provides a graphic, engaging backdrop for evening gatherings. In a home office or library, the specimen-like composition introduces warmth and natural character without overwhelming the surrounding space.

For more intimate spaces such as a dressing room or powder room, wrapping adjacent walls in deep tones allows the butterfly motif to stand out vividly. The warm ochre and orange flecks catch daylight beautifully, while under lower evening lighting, the dark background recedes comfortably into the room's perimeter.

Styling it

We recommend pairing this wallpaper with rich, grounded materials that complement its vintage naturalist aesthetic. Darker timber pieces, such as walnut or aged oak, harmonise naturally with the brown and charcoal base tones of the motif.

To create a balanced interior, consider incorporating warm brass or antique bronze accents in lighting fixtures or hardware to mirror the golden-yellow strokes in the wings. Upholstered seating in muted velvets, matte linens, or deep neutral fabrics helps maintain a sophisticated, uncluttered look that lets the wall art remain the primary focus.

Colour combinations

The palette of our wallpaper features a deep blackish-brown foundation accented with ochre yellow, soft amber orange, warm grey-brown, and crisp white highlights.

When choosing surrounding colours, we would combine it with warm neutrals like soft taupe, biscuit, or creamy off-white on woodwork and adjacent walls to keep the room welcoming. If you prefer a moodier, enveloping scheme, deep charcoal, dark espresso, or rich slate blue on neighbouring surfaces will tie directly into the dark canvas background.
