Wallpaper - Jewel Butterfly II

Designed by Kristy Rice, our Jewel Butterfly II wallpaper centers around an expressive watercolor-look butterfly rendered in vibrant saffron, orange, and golden-yellow washes. Dark, gestural outlines frame the wings, accented by delicate lilac-blue dots along the edges and shimmering gold-toned paint splatters that drift across the light, textured-looking ground. The design brings together bold illustrative linework and fluid paint effects, creating an artistic focal point full of warmth and lightness. Our custom wall murals are made-to-measure to your exact wall dimensions on PVC-free paper with a subtle surface structure.

In the room

Because this design features a large, central motif with delicate paint splatters, we think it works best on a wall where the butterfly can be appreciated without heavy obstruction. In a bedroom or teenage room, placing this mural wallpaper behind a low headboard allows the upper wings and fine antennae to stand out as a distinctive statement piece.

In a home office, dressing room, or creative studio, we would position the motif along an open wall across from a desk or seating area. The warm saffron and gold tones bring visual energy into spaces dedicated to work and creative projects, while the soft off-white background ensures the room still feels open and airy. In smaller spaces such as a powder room, using this wallpaper on the main vanity wall creates an intimate, gallery-inspired atmosphere.

Styling it

To let the expressive brushwork and warm tones of the butterfly remain the center of attention, we recommend surrounding it with grounded, understated furnishings. Clean-lined mid-century or contemporary furniture in warm woods, such as honey oak or walnut, pairs naturally with the golden hues in the artwork.

When choosing accents, subtle brass or warm metallic details in desk lamps or mirror frames pick up on the painted gold splatters throughout the design. For textiles, keeping upholstery and drapery in simple, textured weaves like natural linen or unbleached cotton keeps the room calm and prevents competing patterns from distracting from the central motif.

Color combinations

The wallpaper is built on a rich palette of saffron orange, warm yellow, and golden ochre, grounded by deep brown-black line details and soft purple-blue accents against a crisp off-white backdrop.

When decorating around this design, we suggest pairing it with soft warm whites or creamy ivory on adjacent walls and trim to maintain the bright, open feel of the background. For a more grounded, cozy aesthetic, deeper earth tones like terracotta, warm amber, or muted olive green on surrounding furniture and textiles echo the organic richness of the wings without overwhelming the space.
