Wallpaper - Butterfly Cover

Our Butterfly Cover wallpaper features a layered, scalloped composition of stylised organic forms that evoke feathers, leaves, and block-print textures. Set against a deep navy blue ground, the repeating motif unfolds in rhythmic arcs highlighted by warm light orange linework. The rich contrast between the dark foundation and the glowing amber tones gives the pattern a tapestry-like depth with a subtle Art Nouveau character. Printed as a made-to-measure, PVC-free wall mural on paper with a light surface structure, this design brings an artistic and expressive presence to any interior wall.

In the room

We find this pattern works particularly well in spaces where you want to create an intimate, atmospheric character. In a living room, it makes a striking feature behind a sofa or across an entire seating zone, where the curved geometry of the repeat can flow uninterrupted. The moody contrast also suits a home library, study, or dining area, where the dark navy base grounds the room and the detailed linework adds visual depth without overwhelming the architecture. On larger walls, the rhythmic movement of the scalloped shapes feels continuous and enveloping, while on smaller accent surfaces it acts as a bold focal point.

Styling it

The rich navy and warm orange palette pairs naturally with dark-stained timber, such as walnut or smoked oak, which reinforces the heritage aesthetic of the pattern. To balance the intricate detail of the repeat, we recommend keeping surrounding upholstery relatively calm, using solid fabrics like deep velvet or structured wool in midnight blue, charcoal, or muted rust. Matte black metal or antiqued brass lighting and hardware complement the block-print quality of the motif, adding refined definition without competing with the movement on the wall.

Colour combinations

The design is built on a deep navy blue background accented with warm light orange and amber tones. For adjacent painted surfaces and woodwork, a complementary dark navy creates an immersive, wrap-around effect that lets the pattern merge smoothly into the room. If you prefer more contrast, soft off-whites, warm greys, or muted ochre shades on surrounding trim and architectural details will pick up on the lighter linework and frame the wallpaper cleanly.
