Wallpaper - Papilion Chase White

Designed by Janelle Penner, our Papilion Chase White wallpaper brings a charming natural history study to life with hand-painted character. Symmetrical moths, beetles, and delicate botanical sprigs are arranged across an off-white, lightly textured ground, creating a calm and orderly rhythm. Warm tones of burnt orange, terracotta, and ochre are grounded by soft sage greens and slate blues, giving the pattern an earthy, vintage warmth. Like all our wallpapers, this design is made-to-measure to your exact wall dimensions and printed on PVC-free paper with a subtle physical structure.

In the room

Because the repeating insect and floral motifs have a balanced, medium scale, this wallpaper works beautifully across multiple walls as well as on a single focal wall. In an entryway or powder room, the intricate details create an inviting, cabinet-of-curiosities feel that rewards close inspection. We also see this working especially well in a bedroom behind a headboard or wrapping a cozy home office, where the calm earth tones set a grounded, thoughtful mood without overwhelming the space. In a dining room or kitchen dining nook, the Arts and Crafts-inspired layout brings historic warmth that pairs naturally with both generous daylight and warm evening lamplight.

Styling it

We recommend leaning into classic English country or heritage elements to mirror the historic character of the motif. Painted wood furniture in muted cream, putty, or soft olive green creates a lovely foundation against the off-white background, while warm-toned woods like antique pine, cherry, or oak highlight the rich terracotta and ochre accents in the wings and petals.

Keep larger upholstery and curtains relatively quiet in woven linen or plain wool textures, letting the detailed insects and leafy sprigs carry the decorative interest. A few brass or bronze accents in lamps, cabinet hardware, or picture frames will pick up the warm golden undertones and complete the collected look.

Color combinations

The wallpaper is built around a creamy off-white ground with burnt orange, warm rust, soft sage green, and muted slate blue. To build a cohesive room around it, consider:

Adjacent walls or wood paneling painted in a warm antique white, creamy beige, or a soft, gray-tinted sage green that echoes the foliage. For built-in shelving, wainscoting, or interior trim, a deeper terracotta or muted colonial blue can draw out the richer tones in the moth wings and floral details. Accent pieces in warm amber, cinnamon, or russet will naturally reinforce the earthy palette.
