Wallpaper - Butterfly II

Our Butterfly II wallpaper brings a bold, graphic presence to the wall with an illustrated butterfly centered against a soft beige ground. Designed by Carrie Cantwell, the motif draws on a groovy 1960s retro character with crisp black outlines and rich decorative detail. The upper wings are layered with intricate green, pink, and blue shapes, while the lower wings feature flowing blue waves paired with orange and green accents. Four stylized floral elements anchor the corners, framing the composition with a balanced, poster-like structure. Produced made-to-measure on our PVC-free paper with a subtle surface texture, this design adds a vibrant, artistic focal point to any interior.

In the room

Because the design is structured around a strong central motif and symmetrical corner elements, we see our wall murals like this working best on an unobstructed accent wall. In a bedroom or teenage room, placing the design directly behind the bed headboard gives the central butterfly a natural anchor. It also creates a playful, graphic backdrop in a playroom or a creative home office, where the vibrant palette brings lively visual energy to the workspace.

For an entryway, dressing room, or powder room, Butterfly II functions almost like an oversized art print on a dedicated feature wall. To keep the complete composition intact and let the decorative corners frame the room properly, we recommend choosing a wall section with minimal tall furniture or wall-mounted interruptions.

Styling it

The distinct 1960s graphic feel and bold black linework provide clear visual cues for surrounding furniture and decor. We suggest pairing this wallpaper with mid-century modern pieces, such as low-profile credenzas or clean-lined seating with gently rounded curves that echo the wing shapes.

To keep the room grounded while letting the colorful motif lead, introduce warm, medium-toned wood furniture alongside painted surfaces in muted neutral shades. When selecting accents, simple decorative objects with smooth, solid-colored ceramic finishes work well to balance the intricate pattern work inside the wings.

Color combinations

Our wallpaper combines a versatile palette of rose pink, soft beige, sky blue, vivid orange, and fresh green, all defined by deep black outlines. The quiet beige backdrop makes it easy to coordinate with warm, light neutral paint on surrounding walls and moldings.

For a more cohesive palette, pull the soft pink or muted green directly from the wing patterns into your room textiles, bed linens, or painted trim. If you prefer higher contrast, using matte black accents on hardware, light fixtures, or picture frames will tie directly into the graphic contour lines of the butterfly.
