Butterflies and flowers are a match made in heaven that is associated with peace and happiness. The positivity of these patterns can be deployed to brighten nurseries as well as hallways.

From more traditional motifs to contemporary interior design schemes, these colourful patterns continue to be a great option for bedrooms and living rooms where a touch of colour and movement is needed to brighten the space.

Which rooms are particularly suitable for butterfly wall décor ?

You can tap into the beauty of Mother Nature and let a butterfly-themed wallpaper bring its magic in any room of the house. However, the most suitable spaces for a flurry of butterflies are bedrooms, kitchens and bathrooms.

Falling asleep in a beautiful summer meadow, full of the colours and scents of the happiest of seasons, with delicate butterflies hypnotising you with their gentle flutter is a dream that can be easily achieved with a moth-themed wall décor. Picking a dark hue as a background can add a mysterious and mystical aura that exudes exclusive elegance.

Bathroom

A unique space in the house, an oasis of calm and well-being away from the hectic pace of the day, the bathroom is a very popular option for butterfly wall décor. Their ethereal beauty and grace is perfect for those moments when you just want to daydream and claim a few minutes for yourself.
