Wallpaper - Social Butterflies II

Our Social Butterflies II wallpaper, created by artist Chris Paschke, brings an airy, painted botanical feel to the wall. The composition features two delicate butterflies rendered in soft beige and grey tones with defined black ink outlines, floating gently among loose watercolour foliage in shades of sage green and subtle blue accents. Set against a clean white backdrop, the open spacing and fluid brushwork give the design a light, tranquil rhythm that feels both expressive and uncluttered. As with all our wall murals, this design is custom made-to-measure and printed on PVC-free paper with a subtle paper structure.

In the room

We see this design working beautifully across rooms where a calm, open atmosphere is desired. In a bedroom or nursery, the generous white space and soft botanical washes help keep the room feeling restful rather than visually crowded. Because the artwork centres on delicate motifs and open background areas, it performs especially well on an accent wall behind a bed, a cot, or a low sofa, where the illustrated butterflies can remain clearly visible above lower furniture. In a living room, dressing room, or quiet reading nook, the gentle sage greens and airy composition add a subtle touch of nature without overwhelming other decorative elements.

Styling it

To complement the light, painted quality of this design, we suggest keeping surrounding furnishings relatively simple and natural:

• Pair the wallpaper with light wood tones such as ash, birch, or pale oak, which echo the organic softness of the botanical watercolour without adding visual heaviness.
• Introduce relaxed, unpatterned textiles in off-white, oat, or muted sage to echo the subtle earth tones within the butterfly wings and foliage.
• Use matte black or dark bronze accents in light fixtures or picture frames to pick up on the fine black ink linework of the butterflies.

Colour combinations

The design is built around a palette of sage green, soft leaf greens, pale blue hints, and warm beige and grey against an off-white ground. To build a cohesive palette around our mural wallpapers, we recommend pairing them with soft chalky whites or warm neutrals on adjoining walls and woodwork. Muted sage greens work particularly well on cabinetry or painted furniture to draw out the foliage tones, while soft taupe or warm stone shades help ground the room while maintaining a bright, gentle balance.
