Wallpaper - From the Butcher I

Created by Courtney Prahl, our From the Butcher I wallpaper brings a playful, graphic energy to the wall through a striking collage-style cockerel motif. The design constructs the rooster silhouette using varied patterned papers and textures, from bold typography on deep navy blue and red polka dots to grid lines, yellow stripes, and delicate wing illustrations. Set against an off-white background, this focal piece balances artistic character with clean negative space. Like all of our wallpapers, it is custom made-to-measure to your exact wall dimensions and printed on PVC-free paper with a subtle surface structure.

In the room

Because the cockerel is a strong standalone graphic with generous open background, we see this wall mural working particularly well in an open kitchen, breakfast nook, or dining space. Placing the design on a feature wall or behind a dining table allows the complete silhouette and its intricate collage segments to remain fully visible without visual competition. In a kitchen setting, we would position the main artwork on a clear wall area away from tall cabinetry, giving the playful farm animal motif room to act as an expressive focal point.

Styling it

We would embrace the quirky, eclectic spirit of this design by pairing it with simple, characterful furnishings. Painted wood cabinetry in dark navy or warm ochre echoes the collage papers without overwhelming the room. Natural stoneware, vintage kitchenware, and simple timber tables complement the paper-cut aesthetic nicely. Because the rooster features mixed patterns within a single silhouette, we recommend keeping surrounding fabrics and large surfaces relatively plain so the artwork remains the primary visual interest.

Colour combinations

The wallpaper incorporates a distinctive palette anchored by deep navy blue, warm ochre yellow, soft red, and graphite grey, all sitting on an off-white field. For adjoining painted walls and woodwork, a warm off-white or soft linen shade maintains the airy backdrop. Alternatively, matching kitchen units or an accent wall in deep navy draws out the rich tones in the cockerel’s tail feathers, while touches of muted terracotta or mustard in ceramics and textiles tie in with the neck and body patterns.
