Wallpaper - Social Butterflies II

Created by artist Chris Paschke, our Social Butterflies II wallpaper brings a delicate, painterly composition into the home. Two fluttering butterflies in gentle beige and gray tones are defined by expressive black ink outlines, surrounded by loose, watercolor-style foliage in soft sage green and hints of pale blue. Set against a clean white background, the motif has an airy, open balance that lets each brushstroke breathe. Printed as a made-to-measure, PVC-free mural on paper with a subtle surface structure, it offers a light and refined artistic statement for any interior.

In the room

Because of its generous white backdrop and floating motif, this design works particularly well when you want to bring visual interest to a wall without making the room feel enclosed. We see this working wonderfully in a bedroom behind the headboard, where the gentle watercolor foliage and soft earth tones establish a tranquil setting. In a nursery or child's bedroom, the playful yet sophisticated butterflies introduce a gentle nature theme that easily transitions as the child grows.

The open composition also suits a dressing room, living room reading corner, or a home art studio. In spaces with smaller proportions, the white negative space helps the room maintain an expansive feel, while on a wider living room wall, the artwork functions like an oversized gallery painting that anchors the seating area.

Styling it

To complement the delicate watercolor aesthetic, we suggest pairing this wallpaper with furnishings that have clean lines and an uncluttered presence. Light wood tones such as ash, birch, or natural white oak echo the earthy beige in the butterfly wings and keep the overall room feeling bright and organic.

In terms of textiles, soft woven cottons, unbleached canvas, or smooth matte upholstery in off-white, oat, or muted gray work beautifully to support the background rather than compete with the ink linework. Matte black metal accents on light fixtures, picture frames, or side table legs can subtly pick up the graphic black outlines of the butterflies, giving the room a grounded, contemporary edge.

Color combinations

The wallpaper's palette centers around a soft white base, muted sage greens, watery blue undertones, and warm beige and gray accents grounded by fine black detail. When choosing paint for adjacent walls or trim, a soft off-white or light warm gray creates a harmonious, seamless transition that lets the mural be the primary focal point.

For a slightly richer palette, bringing in a muted sage green on nearby cabinetry, doors, or woodwork will draw out the botanical leaves. If you prefer subtle contrast, accents in warm taupe, sand, or slate gray in your rugs and upholstery will mirror the wings of the butterflies while maintaining a calm, cohesive atmosphere throughout the space.
