Wallpaper - Papillion II, Purple

Our Papillion II, Purple wallpaper brings together vivid yellow butterflies, blooming purple blossoms, and rich burnt orange tones set against a deep background. Created with ink drawing character by RNM Arts, the botanical and insect motif balances fine outlines and crisp white dot detailing with bright, expressive color. The rhythmic repeat gives the botanical scene a playful yet grounded presence across the wall. Made to measure on our PVC-free paper with a subtle physical surface structure, this design brings an artistic garden feel into the home.

In the room

Because of its balanced repeat and strong color contrast, we see this design working well in living rooms, bedrooms, and dining rooms. In a dining room or living room, it performs exceptionally well on a main feature wall behind a sideboard or sofa, where the vivid butterflies and purple flowers create an immediate focal point without overwhelming the entire space.

For smaller, more intimate spaces such as an entryway, powder room, or dressing room, we like the idea of wrapping multiple walls. In these compact areas, the deep base color creates an enveloping feel, while the pops of yellow and purple keep the atmosphere lively and whimsical. In a bedroom, placing the wallpaper behind the headboard grounds the room while letting the botanical pattern anchor the space.

Styling it

To let the detailed butterfly and floral illustration stand out, we suggest pairing the wallpaper with furniture that has clean, uncomplicated silhouettes. Mid-century modern or contemporary boho furniture pieces in warm wood tones, such as teak or warm oak, naturally complement the burnt orange undertones in the print.

Keep surrounding decorative elements relatively calm so the wallpaper remains the visual centerpiece. Matte black metal accents or quiet brass hardware echo the dark background and warm highlights without competing with the lively insect motif. For upholstery and bedding, solid textured fabrics in neutral tones help anchor the room while letting the bright botanical shapes lead the eye.

Color combinations

The wallpaper features a rich palette of deep dark base tones, burnt orange accents, bright purple petals with sunny yellow centers, and fresh green foliage.

When choosing paint for adjoining walls, trim, or cabinetry, we recommend pulling directly from these core shades. A deep charcoal or muted black creates a dramatic, cohesive transition that extends the moody depth of the background. Alternatively, warm neutral off-whites or soft ochre shades pick up on the yellow highlights and brighten the surrounding architecture. If you prefer a bolder palette, a dusty plum or muted forest green on adjacent doors and moldings beautifully frames the floral pattern.
