Wallpaper - Elegant Moth II

Created by artist Courtney Prahl, our Elegant Moth II wallpaper centers on a poised moth with intricately detailed wings and organic patterning. The composition carries a vintage collage aesthetic with delicate pencil-like drawing and subtle Art Nouveau influences, grounded in deep navy tones alongside soft sage accents. We love how the focal motif commands attention without overwhelming the room, offering a balanced, graphic presence that feels both classic and distinctly artistic. Like all of our wallpapers, this design is made-to-measure on PVC-free paper featuring a subtle physical structure.

In the room

Because of the strong central focus, we see our Elegant Moth II mural wallpapers working particularly well on dedicated feature walls where the moth motif remains unobstructed. In a living room or dining room, placing this design behind a sofa, sideboard, or dining table gives the eye a natural focal point. It also translates beautifully to a bedroom behind the headboard or in a quiet study, library, or home office where the vintage collage style adds thoughtful character to the space.

In compact areas like an entryway, guest room, or powder room, the deep navy base creates an intimate, enveloping atmosphere. For broader rooms with ample natural daylight, the subtler sage tones and finer line work in the wings reveal their delicate details more prominently.

Styling it

To complement the heritage feel and collage elements of this design, we suggest pairing it with furniture and accents that share a vintage or classic sensibility:

• Bring in warm, mid-toned or dark woods such as antique walnut, aged oak, or stained cherry to ground the deep navy background.
• Select brushed brass, muted bronze, or matte antique gold accents to highlight the warm undertones in the illustration.
• Keep surrounding upholstery and larger textiles in understated neutral weaves or deep navy velvets to let the detailed pattern remain the primary visual focus.

Color combinations

Our wallpaper is built around a dark base of rich navy blue, layered with muted sage green, creamy parchment tones, and soft charcoal pencil linework.

When choosing colors for adjoining walls, trim, and cabinetry, we love working with soft, warm off-whites or antique creams that echo the lighter areas of the wings. If you prefer a moodier palette, a coordinating deep slate or midnight navy on surrounding millwork creates a seamless, cohesive look. Muted eucalyptus and dusty sage also make wonderful accent shades for painted furniture or decorative pieces.
