Wallpaper - Cabbage White Butterfly

Our Cabbage White Butterfly wallpaper, created by Mackenzie Nelson, centres on a single, beautifully rendered butterfly set against a warm, painterly blush background. What we particularly like about this design is the balance between the delicate white and soft cream tones of the wings, accented with dark charcoal tips and subtle earthy markings, and the expressive, brushed texture of the backdrop. The large scale gives the butterfly an immediate presence on the wall without feeling busy. Like all our wallpapers, this mural is made to measure and printed on PVC-free paper with a subtle physical paper structure.

In the room

In a bedroom or a quiet reading corner, we see this design working beautifully behind a bed or low seating where the central motif can sit unobstructed. Because the composition focuses on one prominent subject rather than a dense repeating pattern, it naturally draws the eye and defines a focal point within the space. In a dressing room, nursery, or a hallway, the soft rosy undertone brings warmth and visual calm, especially on a feature wall where surrounding architectural details remain simple.

Styling it

We suggest pairing this wallpaper with furnishings that complement its gentle palette and artistic character. Lighter woods such as birch or pale ash sit harmoniously against the dusty pink backdrop, while simple painted furniture in soft off-white or muted putty lets the central illustration remain the focus. For accents, dark iron or matte black details echo the charcoal markings on the butterfly's wings, adding just enough definition to keep the room grounded.

Colour combinations

The wallpaper is built around warm blush pink, creamy off-white, soft taupe, and deep charcoal black. When choosing colours for surrounding walls, woodwork, or larger textiles, we like using gentle chalky whites, warm beige, or muted dusty rose. If you want to introduce subtle contrast, deep slate grey or olive tones pick up on the darker details of the butterfly wings while keeping the overall palette refined.
