Wallpaper - Papilion Chase Green

Our Papilion Chase Green wallpaper, created by Janelle Penner, brings an imaginative natural history study to the wall. Set against a deep emerald green ground, the repeating pattern arranges illustrated moths, beetles, and delicate botanical sprigs into an orderly, whimsical rhythm. Warm terracotta, ochre, soft cream, and muted sage leaves create a balanced contrast with the dark backdrop, giving the motif a painted-drawing look inspired by heritage English country style. Like all Wallism wallpapers, this design is made-to-measure according to your wall dimensions on PVC-free paper with a subtle physical surface structure.

In the room

In a study, library, or home office, we see this pattern working exceptionally well behind a desk or wrapped around custom bookshelves, where the structured entomological repeat adds character without overwhelming the room. The rhythm of insects and botanical elements also suits a powder room or an entryway, where a full-room installation allows the detailed repeat to envelop the space. Because the design combines a rich emerald background with warm earthy highlights, it creates a cozy, collected feel in a dining room or bedroom. The vertical balance of the repeat ensures the composition holds its visual interest across both expansive unbroken walls and smaller, fragmented alcoves.

Styling it

To complement the classic natural-history feel of the pattern, we would pair this design with warm wood furniture, such as antique pine, warm oak, or cherry, which highlights the amber and ochre tones in the beetles and moths. For surrounding upholstery and drapery, heavier woven fabrics in plain rust, deep forest green, or unbleached ivory keep the focus squarely on the detailed wall. Brass or aged bronze hardware and light fixtures provide a natural metallic touch that echoes the heritage aesthetic.

Color combinations

The wallpaper is built on a rich emerald green base, accented with terracotta orange, ochre, muted sage, dusty slate blue, and warm cream. For adjoining walls and woodwork, we recommend pulling the earthy cream or soft sage green directly from the floral sprigs to create an inviting, open transition. If you prefer a moodier, enveloping room scheme, a deep forest green on trim and cabinetry connects seamlessly with the dark backdrop, while touches of warm terracotta or rust on accent pieces bring out the vibrant tones of the illustrated wings.
