While butterfly décor may have once been reserved for nurseries and little girls’ bedrooms, butterfly-emblazoned prints are set to make splash for the year ahead. In fact, butterfly motifs are slated to appear in homes everywhere in 2017, decorating everything from wallpaper to floors. As we prepare for another year of interior design trends, we look at easy and effective ways to embrace the butterfly fad now.

Adorn your living room with butterfly wall art: For baby steps into the butterfly trend, decorate your basic beige walls with a butterfly wall art painting. The look of soft blue and white butterflies can contrast effortlessly against a dark grey or lavender sofa. Meanwhile, a glasstop coffee table, elegant hardwood floors and ivory bookshelves help to seal the deal.

Use butterfly area rugs to brighten your space: If your living room is in need of a brightening touch, turn to a beautiful butterfly-printed rug in shades of red and black. Accessorize your white sofas with grey throw blankets and black and white couch cushions, and complete your space with a wooden coffee table.

Accent your kitchen with butterfly wallpaper: For anyone whose kitchen is looking dull and drab, turn to rainbow butterfly wallpaper for a burst of colour. Meanwhile, gleaming red countertops, purple accent walls and dangling butterfly decorations usher vibrant beauty into your space.
