Wallpaper - Social Butterflies V

Our Social Butterflies V wallpaper, created by artist Chris Paschke, pairs a central butterfly motif with loose, painterly foliage. Translucent wings in gentle washes of light green and soft blue are balanced by abstract leaves in muted green and grey tones, with fine ink-like outlines providing delicate definition against the clean white ground. The composition feels light, airy, and artistic, bringing a calm botanical presence to interior walls. Like all our wall murals, this design is made-to-measure and printed on PVC-free paper with a subtle physical structure.

In the room

We see this wallpaper working particularly well in spaces where you want to introduce visual interest without overwhelming the room. In a bedroom or guest room, placing the design on the wall behind the headboard creates a serene, gentle focal point that keeps the overall setting feeling open. Its delicate scale and soft palette also make it well suited to a nursery, child's bedroom, or dedicated playroom, where the playful subject matter feels light and graceful rather than overly busy.

In a home office, study, or living room, the generous white background allows natural daylight to bounce cleanly across the wall, making it a natural choice for compact spaces, entryways, or reading corners that benefit from an open, uncluttered aesthetic.

Styling it

Because the motif has a fluid, watercolour-inspired character and clean outlines, we recommend pairing it with understated, contemporary furniture that echoes its light visual weight. Slim-profile furniture in light wood tones or painted off-white finishes keeps the focus on the artwork without creating heavy visual competition.

Simple textiles in muted natural shades, such as soft grey or pale sage, complement the painted leaves nicely. To keep the atmosphere calm and cohesive, choose accessories with clean lines and minimal surface pattern, allowing the fine linework and gentle washes of the wallpaper to stand out.

Colour combinations

The design itself is built on a soft, pastel-infused palette of translucent pale blues, sage greens, and delicate grey washes against an airy white backdrop. Thin black lines ground the lighter tones without feeling stark.

When decorating around this design, consider picking up the soft sage or muted grey tones for adjacent painted walls, woodwork, or larger soft furnishings. Off-white and clean chalky neutrals work effortlessly alongside the background, while gentle slate blue or muted seafoam accents can be introduced through cushions, throws, or decorative ceramics to subtly echo the colours in the butterfly's wings.
