Wallpaper - From the Butcher IV

Created by Courtney Prahl, our From the Butcher IV wallpaper brings a playful, graphic energy to the wall through an inventive collage composition. The design outlines the silhouette of a farm animal partitioned into distinct sections, reminiscent of traditional butcher cut diagrams, but filled with an eclectic mix of painted swatches, bold geometric patterns, vintage typography, and newsprint fragments. Set against a clean, off-white background, the colourful patchwork features tones of dusty blue, bright pink, mustard yellow, orange, and deep indigo. Our wallpapers are made-to-measure and PVC-free, printed on paper with a subtle physical surface structure.

In the room

We see this wallpaper working particularly well in a kitchen or an informal dining space, where the whimsical culinary reference and bold shapes can take centre stage. Because the central motif has a striking, poster-like presence with ample negative space around it, it functions beautifully on a feature wall, such as behind a breakfast table, beside open kitchen shelving, or along an uninterrupted dining wall. The graphic clarity ensures that the design remains legible and engaging even across a compact room.

Styling it

To complement the expressive collage style, we suggest balancing the wall with relatively clean-lined, contemporary furniture. Simple painted cabinetry or furniture with smooth surfaces prevents the room from feeling visually busy, allowing the layered textures and typography within the artwork to stand out.

If you want to bring in materials, warm timber like honeyed birch or pale oak works naturally alongside the paper fragments and warm ochre tones in the design. Keeping surrounding accessories uncluttered and purposeful gives the quirky animal silhouette the focus it deserves.

Colour combinations

The artwork itself features a rich collage of slate blue, deep navy, vibrant pink, mustard yellow, and vivid orange alongside neutral paper tones and monochrome text.

For adjacent walls and woodwork, we recommend pulling out one of the quieter neutral shades found in the background, such as a soft warm white or pale parchment. If you prefer a bolder interior scheme, picking up the dusty blue or deep navy from the animal's head and flank creates a cohesive, grounded look across cabinetry or an adjoining accent wall.
