Papilio Charcoal/Gold

Papilio Charcoal/Gold sets detailed butterflies and beetles against a warm ivory ground, with charcoal-brown wings and bodies giving the design an archival, illustrated character. The darker insects create pronounced depth across the softly light background.

About this wallpaper

This wallpaper features repeated butterfly and beetle illustrations in charcoal, sepia-brown and muted gold tones, with fine wing markings and spotted edging clearly visible in the swatch. The warm ivory ground keeps the colourway light overall, while the dense dark detailing gives it a more collected and formal mood than a bright or highly saturated scheme. The listed useable width is 52 cm, with a standard length of 10.05 m and a 64 cm vertical pattern repeat. Its supplied weight is 381 gsm, and the specification records a 0 cm horizontal repeat.

How to use it

Use this warm ivory, charcoal and gold colourway in a study, dining room or bedroom where its insect illustrations can sit alongside dark timber, antique brass and restrained neutral upholstery. The cream-led background also makes it suitable for wrapping a room without losing the drama of the deep wing markings.

Pair the warm ivory ground with dark wood, aged brass and softly textured neutral furnishings.

Paint that goes with it

Two ways to take the room. Both colours are from houses we hold, so a pot can come off the same order as the cloth. Screens shift colour, so treat these as a direction and bring the cloth to the shelf before you buy the paint.
