Wallpaper - Papillion I, Chocolate & Green

Our Papillion I, Chocolate & Green wallpaper pairs vivid orange butterflies with delicate white wing spots and fine ink-style black outlines against a deep chocolate brown ground. Fresh green leaves and subtle sunflower yellow accents weave throughout the repeating motif, creating an earthy yet playful rhythm across the wall. The contrast between warm terracotta tones and the dark backdrop gives this pattern a distinct artistic character. Produced as custom made-to-measure wallpaper, our PVC-free paper features a subtle surface structure and is easy to hang.

In the room

We love seeing this design in spaces where its rich background can create an inviting, enveloping atmosphere. In a bedroom, it works wonderfully behind a headboard, where the warm brown base adds depth while the orange butterflies bring a lively, whimsical touch. In a dining room or living room, the symmetrical repeat holds its own across a wider uninterrupted feature wall, giving the detailed foliage and butterfly wings plenty of space to be appreciated. For a cosy study, home office, or hallway, the balanced scale of the pattern introduces colour and visual interest without overwhelming more compact wall areas.

Styling it

Because the wallpaper carries bold contrast and rich earthy tones, we would balance it with furniture and accents that complement its organic feel.

• Pair with warm, mid-tone or darker wood furniture, such as walnut or stained oak, to harmonise with the chocolate brown backdrop.
• Choose soft upholstery or curtains in understated natural tones, like oatmeal or muted linen, allowing the vibrant orange and sunflower yellow wings to draw the eye.
• Introduce understated warm lighting, such as table lamps with fabric shades, to enhance the warmth of the earthy palette during the evening.

Colour combinations

The design is built on a rich dark brown base, accented with bright orange, sunflower yellow, crisp white details, and soft foliage greens. To create a cohesive look around the room, consider pulling the fresh leaf green onto adjacent painted walls or woodwork for a harmonious botanical feel. For a moodier, more tailored aesthetic, matching surrounding trim to a deep chocolate brown creates a striking monochromatic envelope. Alternatively, soft warm neutrals and muted clay tones on nearby surfaces will let the orange butterfly motif stand out as the main visual accent.
