Wallpaper - From the Butcher III

Created by Courtney Prahl, our From the Butcher III wallpaper presents a quirky, artistic silhouette of a cow formed through mixed-media collage against an off-white background. The silhouette is sectioned into distinct butcher-chart cuts, each filled with contrasting visual textures: pink polka dots, yellow gingham, deep blue vintage packaging typography, bold orange graphics, newsprint snippets, and painted gray surfaces. The balance of graphic shapes and tactile-looking paper patterns gives this design an expressive, playful identity on the wall. Produced made-to-measure on PVC-free paper with a subtle surface structure, it brings graphic energy and charm to dining spaces and kitchens.

In the room

We see this design working especially well in a dining room, kitchen, or a playful breakfast nook where you want an eye-catching focal point with personality. Because the central motif is a bold, horizontal figurative form set against generous open space, giving it an uninterrupted wall allows the full cow silhouette and its intricate collage segments to take center stage.

In a dining area, positioning the mural along a feature wall near the dining table immediately anchors the room. The lighter background keeps the space feeling open, while the high contrast within the cow silhouette draws the eye. It also works wonderfully in a lively playroom or open-plan kitchen-diner, where its lighthearted take on traditional farm imagery adds warmth and graphic distinction without overwhelming the rest of the decor.

Styling it

Because our wall mural carries a vibrant mix of patterns, typography, and colors within a single silhouette, we recommend keeping the surrounding furniture relatively grounded and clean-lined. Mid-century modern dining chairs or simple contemporary wooden tables pair naturally with the graphic collage aesthetic.

To complement the artwork's artistic character, consider introducing warm timber finishes or painted furniture that echoes one of the deeper tones from the motif. Matte black lighting or simple ceramic tableware can help mirror the graphic lines of the silhouette, allowing the wallpaper to remain the clear hero of the room while keeping the overall styling cohesive and uncluttered.

Colour combinations

The motif contains a rich, eclectic mix of colors: soft pink, bright orange, sunny yellow, deep navy blue, muted slate gray, warm ochre, and off-white background tones.

When choosing colors for adjoining walls, trim, or surrounding furniture, you can pull directly from these accents. A soft warm off-white or light cream on adjacent walls creates a seamless transition that highlights the central collage. If you prefer more definition, deep navy blue or rich charcoal cabinetry creates a striking, modern contrast against the lighter background of our mural wallpapers. For a warmer, more playful feel, small accents in terracotta, mustard yellow, or dusty pink tie in effortlessly with the individual collage segments.
