Wallpaper - Papillion II, Aqua on Cream

Our Papillion II, Aqua on Cream wallpaper by RNM Arts features vibrant blue butterflies fluttering among green foliage and stylised flowers across a soft cream ground. Rendered with delicate black outlines and fine white wing spots, the ink-drawn motif balances lively movement with a gentle, rhythmic composition. The fresh aquamarine palette and open spacing create a design that feels playful yet thoroughly considered. Like all of our wallpapers, it is made-to-measure, PVC-free, and printed on paper with a subtle physical surface structure.

In the room

We see this design working particularly well in spaces where you want a sense of movement without visual clutter. In a bedroom or guest room, placing the wallpaper across the wall behind the headboard creates a soft, captivating focal point that sets a peaceful mood. Because the cream background keeps the composition airy, the repeat also sits naturally in an entryway, hallway, or dressing room where walls are narrower and broken up by doors. For a dining room or living room, we would consider wrapping the motif across multiple walls to build an enveloping, nature-inspired setting.

Styling it

To balance the graphic ink lines and vibrant aquamarine tones of the motif, we suggest pairing this design with simple, grounded furnishings. Mid-toned or lighter woods bring warmth alongside the cream background, while painted furniture in muted off-white or soft grey lets the pattern take centre stage. Rather than introducing competing prints, keep surrounding textiles relatively plain, opting for relaxed woven fabrics on curtains and upholstery. A few understated ceramic accents or dark metal fittings will echo the black outlines of the butterfly wings nicely without distracting from the overall scene.

Colour combinations

The wallpaper centres on fresh aquamarine blue, complemented by leafy greens, touches of bright yellow, and fine black accents on a warm cream ground. When choosing colours for surrounding walls, woodwork, or cabinetry, pulling out a soft ivory or warm cream creates a cohesive, light-filled backdrop. If you prefer more contrast, a deeper navy, soft slate blue, or muted moss green on adjacent joinery or doors grounds the brighter blues in the motif. Pale butter yellow or ochre also works well in smaller decorative accents to highlight the flower centres.
