Wallpaper - Butterfly II

Our Butterfly II wallpaper features a single, spread-winged butterfly rendered in bold charcoal gray and black outlines, balanced by delicate spotted wings with translucent-looking segments. Created by artist Deborah Revell, the motif sits against a painterly background blending pale white, gentle light yellow, and soft washes of blue. What we particularly appreciate is how the graphic symmetry of the insect contrasts with the fluid watercolor texture behind it, creating a quiet, contemporary focal point. Like all our wall murals, it is made-to-measure on PVC-free paper with a subtle physical surface structure.

In the room

Because of the butterfly's centered composition and wingspan, we think this design works exceptionally well as a feature wall behind a bed, a living room sofa, or behind a desk in a study. The light, atmospheric background prevents the strong charcoal lines from overwhelming smaller rooms, while the delicate detail holds its own across a wider wall. In a study or home library, the painterly style brings an artistic character that sits comfortably near low shelving without feeling visually cluttered.

Styling it

We would pair this mural wallpaper with simple, modern furniture that lets the central artwork lead the space.

• Keep large furniture in clean, unadorned silhouettes so the graphic symmetry of the wings remains the primary focus.
• Choose warm or pale wood finishes, which balance the cooler charcoal and ink-inspired lines of the drawing.
• Introduce textured woven textiles in muted off-whites or soft grays to mirror the fluid, layered appearance of the watercolor background.

Color combinations

The wallpaper is built on a foundation of charcoal gray, ink black, crisp white spots, and a soft background blend of pale blue and faint yellow. When choosing colors for adjacent walls and large surfaces, we suggest working with soft warm white or very pale gray to maintain the open, airy feeling of the backdrop. For trim or accent elements, a deep charcoal gray or muted slate blue can subtly anchor the room by echoing the butterfly's darker structural lines.
