Wallpaper - Butterfly II

Our Butterfly II wallpaper features a single, spread-winged butterfly rendered in bold black and charcoal grey outlines with delicate white patterning and transparent wing sections. Designed by Deborah Revell, the graphic nature of the central insect motif is balanced by a gentle, watercolour-inspired backdrop blending soft blue, white, and subtle yellow tones. The contrast between the crisp, symmetrical ink-like detailing and the luminous, atmospheric background gives this wall mural a modern, artistic presence. Made to measure on our PVC-free paper with a subtle surface structure, it creates a calm focal point in contemporary interiors.

In the room

In a bedroom or living room, we see this design working particularly well on an accent wall behind a bed or sofa, where the central symmetry of the butterfly can anchor the space. Because the composition relies on one prominent focal motif surrounded by open, painterly washes, giving it a relatively uninterrupted wall allows the full silhouette and airy background to breathe. In a study or home library, the tranquil mood and light palette introduce an artistic quality without feeling visually cluttered or distracting.

Styling it

To complement the minimalist and contemporary feel of this mural wallpaper, we suggest keeping surrounding furniture clean-lined and understated.

• Pair the wallpaper with low-profile furniture in light wood or painted neutral finishes to let the delicate wing details command visual attention.
• Incorporate smooth ceramic accessories or subtle charcoal metal accents that echo the ink-drawn outlines of the wings.
• Use soft, unpatterned woven textiles on cushions or bedding to maintain the calm, uncluttered balance of the room.

Colour combinations

The design itself centres on deep charcoal grey and crisp black paired with soft watercolour washes of pale blue, off-white, and warm, gentle yellow. When planning surrounding surfaces, muted off-whites and cool light greys on adjacent walls or trim will harmonise naturally with the backdrop. For a slightly more grounded look, introducing deeper slate or charcoal accents through upholstery or framing ties directly into the graphic lines of the motif.
