Styling Tips
Float Above the Crib
Mount a trio of varying-sized metal butterflies in an ascending flight pattern above the crib to draw the eye upward and create a sense of gentle motion.
Contrast with Soft Textures
Pair the sleek, rigid lines of the metal art with soft, plush nursery elements like a boucle nursing glider, sheepskin rugs, and gauzy canopy curtains.
Embrace Negative Space
In a minimalist nursery, let the wall art breathe. Center a single, oversized minimalist butterfly silhouette on a blank accent wall to serve as a striking, singular focal point.
Incorporate Directional Lighting
Install a soft-glow wall sconce near the metal art. The illumination will cast subtle, beautiful shadows of the butterfly wings against the wall, adding depth during nighttime feedings.
