Interior Decorating & Butterflies
If you love the whimsical look of butterflies, you may want to use butterfly images and accents as part of your home decor. Using butterflies to decorate can add either a splash of color or an impressive focal piece to the design space. Does this Spark an idea?

Size
-
Small butterfly decorations, such as wall hangings with pictures of butterflies that can easily fit on medium-sized shelves are ideal for the powder room or hallway. If you want the butterfly accent to be the conversation piece of the room, a larger item like a mirror in the shape of a butterfly for the living room or dining room is ideal.
Significance
-
If you're using butterfly decor to adorn a personal space, such as a bedroom or bathroom, it's a good idea to choose accents with special significance. For instance, paint the main wall of your daughter's room with a butterfly, and paint her name beside or below it. Or, you can purchase a crystal figurine of a butterfly with your name engraved on it to display on the vanity in your bathroom.

Considerations
-
If you're using butterfly photos, wall hangings or furniture that is multi-colored, it's a good idea to paint the accent wall a conservative version of a color that is included in the butterfly's wings. For instance, if you're using yellow and black to decorate a room with a monarch butterfly theme, a light or pastel yellow on the accent wall will make it easy to add more colors, such as purple or orange, to your butterfly decor scheme.
