Wallpaper - From the Butcher Dark II

Created by artist Courtney Prahl, our From the Butcher Dark II wallpaper brings an inventive collage aesthetic into the home. The design features a stylized pig silhouette assembled from vintage newsprint, antique typography, textured craft papers, and floral paper cutouts, all set against a deeply weathered charcoal gray chalkboard background. What we particularly appreciate about this mural wallpaper is how the graphic shape of the animal contrasts with the rich text fragments and muted vintage hues within the body. Produced as a made-to-measure design on PVC-free paper with a subtle physical surface structure, it offers a distinctive visual focal point for personal interiors.

In the room

We see this wallpaper working especially well as an expressive accent wall in a kitchen or a breakfast nook. Because the large central collage motif carries considerable graphic presence, it benefits from an uninterrupted wall area where the full animal silhouette and its typographic details can remain clearly visible. In a kitchen setting, placing the design along a dining wall or above low cabinetry allows the dark charcoal background to add depth without overwhelming the surrounding space.

Styling it

The eclectic character of this wallpaper pairs naturally with vintage and modern rustic interiors. We would balance the graphic nature of the collage with warm, natural wood elements like an aged pine dining table or open shelving. For hardware and fixtures, dark iron or matte black metal echoes the charcoal backdrop cleanly, while simple ceramic tableware keeps the focus on the artwork.

Color combinations

Our design is anchored by a deep charcoal gray base, accented with warm parchment tones, aged newspaper beige, muted mauve, and subtle touches of slate blue and earthy brown within the paper collage. To create a cohesive scheme around the mural, we suggest pairing it with off-white or soft warm gray painted trim. Deep charcoal on surrounding doors or lower cabinetry will seamlessly frame the wallpaper, while warm earthy neutrals on adjacent walls keep the space feeling balanced and inviting.
