Wallpaper - Gilded Butterfly II

Our Gilded Butterfly II wallpaper brings together painted botanical elements and detailed insect motifs across a layered, vintage-inspired composition. Created by Albena Hristova, the artwork features two prominent butterflies resting among leafy green and golden foliage, set over a warm beige geometric trellis pattern with subtle floral accents. The wings show painterly brushwork in tones of orange, soft blue, and yellow, balanced by an earthy base of ochre and warm brown. This design offers a balanced mix of structured pattern and painterly detail. Like all Wallism wallpapers, it is custom made-to-measure on PVC-free paper with a subtle surface structure.

In the room

We see this design working especially well in spaces where its detailed composition can be appreciated up close. In a bedroom or dressing room, placing it on the wall behind the headboard or vanity creates an inviting, decorative focal point without overwhelming the room. Because the motif combines a geometric trellis structure with organic leaves and butterflies, it maintains order even across wider wall areas.

In an entryway, hallway, or powder room, the layered composition gives smaller transitional spaces an artistic, curated feel. In a dining room or living room, we like using this design across a dedicated feature wall where natural light can bring out the softer contrast between the ochre background and the muted blues and oranges in the wings.

Styling it

The heritage character and painted oil aesthetic pair naturally with classic and vintage-leaning interiors. We suggest letting the artwork take center stage by keeping surrounding furnishings relatively understated.

Warm, natural wood tones such as walnut, aged oak, or mid-toned fruitwoods echo the earthy brown and ochre base of the design. When selecting textiles for curtains, upholstery, or bedding, smooth linens and brushed cottons in warm stone, ivory, or soft oatmeal provide a quiet visual foundation that lets the decorative pattern stand out.

Color combinations

The wallpaper is grounded in an earthy palette of beige, ochre, and rich brown, highlighted by leaf greens, warm gold, and accents of orange, yellow, and muted blue in the butterflies.

When painting adjacent walls or trim, we recommend pulling directly from the lighter tones in the design:
Soft plaster beige or warm ecru creates a seamless transition that keeps the entire room feeling light and cohesive.
For a deeper, more enveloping atmosphere, a muted olive green or rich ochre on woodwork and doors emphasizes the botanical elements.
Subtle accents in dusty slate blue or terracotta can be introduced through decorative objects to gently echo the colorful wing details.
