Wallpaper - Collage Insects III

Created by Courtney Prahl, our Collage Insects III wallpaper brings an artistic natural history study into the home through mixed media and layered paper collage. The composition feels like an open sketchbook page, displaying colorful illustrated insects across a gentle cream and pale pastel pink backdrop with vintage-inspired paper textures. We love how the individual studies combine painterly line work with layered graphic elements, giving the wall a collected, curious character. Made to measure on our PVC-free paper with a subtle surface structure, this design offers an inviting balance of detail and soft background tones.

In the room

Because the motif is built around detailed individual insect studies, we especially like giving this wallpaper a prominent wall where the paper textures and fine line work can be observed up close. In a home office or study, placing it along the wall behind a desk creates an inspiring backdrop that rewards a closer look throughout the day. It also works naturally in a dining room or living room, where the light cream base keeps the room feeling open while the colorful figures provide visual interest. In creative children's rooms, nurseries, or playrooms, the sketchbook feel introduces a playful sense of nature study without overwhelming the space. In a hallway or entryway, it offers guests an immediate sense of personality and warmth as soon as they step inside.

Styling it

The vintage collage feel and delicate line work pair beautifully with an eclectic or mid-century interior. We would introduce warm wood furniture, such as vintage teak or warm birch, to pick up on the paper and earth tones within the collage. Keeping larger upholstered pieces relatively simple in woven textures allows the artwork on the wall to remain the central focus. Simple dark iron or matte black accents in desk lamps, frames, or hardware can echo the dark graphic outlines of the insect drawings and give the room structure.

Color combinations

Our wallpaper is grounded in a pale cream and soft pastel pink base, accented by the rich mix of greens, yellows, blues, and warm browns found within the insect collages. When choosing surrounding wall colors or painted trim, a soft off-white or light warm stone helps the wallpaper blend quietly into the rest of the room. To highlight the pink tones in the paper, a muted blush or dusty rose on adjacent surfaces creates a gentle, tonal transition. If you want a bit more contrast, bringing in a muted olive green or warm mustard yellow through painted furniture or curtains connects directly to the botanical palette in the artwork.
