Wallpaper - Skippers

Our Skippers wallpaper brings together an intricate flight of illustrated butterflies set against a soft sky blue backdrop. What we particularly like about this design is the balance between fine scientific detail and lighthearted charm: each winged specimen features delicate watercolour-like washes, distinct wing patterns, and soft accents of peach, blush pink, ochre, mint, and deep indigo. The repeat is lively and rhythmic without feeling overcrowded, making it a wonderful focal point for family living areas or creative bedrooms. Like all Wallism mural wallpapers, our design is made to measure to your exact wall dimensions and printed on PVC-free paper with a subtle paper texture.

In the room

We see this design working beautifully in spaces that welcome playful visual storytelling, such as a children's bedroom, nursery, or playroom. The relatively dense repeat and charming butterfly varieties also make it an engaging backdrop for a dressing room, creative home office, or guest bedroom where you want an immediate lift of character.

Because the motif has a fine, all-over cadence, it performs wonderfully on a main feature wall behind a bed or low sofa without losing its rhythm. In compact areas like a cloakroom or powder room, wallpapering multiple walls creates a delightful, enveloping feeling where the various species can be studied up close.

Styling it

To keep the visual focus on the intricate butterfly illustrations, we suggest styling the surrounding space with simple silhouettes and gentle finishes:

• Pair with painted furniture in chalky off-whites or soft creams to echo the lighter tones in the wings and keep the overall atmosphere airy.
• Incorporate natural light wood accents, such as pale birch or untreated pine, which ground the playful motif without competing for visual attention.
• Select plain, unpatterned fabrics in cotton or soft woven textures to provide a calm counterbalance to the lively repeat across the wall.

Colour combinations

The artwork is grounded in a muted sky blue base, accented by a broad palette across the butterfly wings including warm ochre, blush pink, soft mint green, terracotta, and rich navy.

When choosing adjacent wall colours or paint for woodwork, a soft ivory or warm off-white creates a fresh, balanced frame around the wallpaper. For a slightly more adventurous interior, pulling out the dusty rose or sage mint tones for surrounding trim or cabinetry complements the illustrated details while keeping the room cohesive.
