Black butterflies on the wall - this is an inexpensive decor that can decorate almost any interior, introduce innovation and a certain charm into it. So you can revive the design, despite the seemingly gloomy tint. If the room has bright colors, then black color will be a pleasant addition. But in what rooms is such a decor appropriate?
Sleeping area
The image of butterflies in the bedroom will allow us to get out of the depressive state that usually catches us in the autumn-winter period. Each time, falling asleep in the evenings or waking up in the morning, you can see these cute creatures, who, like night watchmen, protect sleep.
If the room is made in a classic style and it has a wardrobe with mirrored doors, then there is no better decoration. It is only necessary to optimally distribute the butterflies on a reflective surface.
A photo of black butterflies on the wall will look appropriate above the head of the bed. Volumetric models made of vinyl film or cardboard will especially stand out.
Girls room
At first glance it seems that butterflies will look great exclusively in the bedroom, however, in reality, this version of the decor will be relevant in the children's room. It will be more to the taste of girls than boys, because in small men other interests prevail.
If you surround the princess with various fluttering beauties, this will help develop a girl’s fantasy. In addition, they contribute to the charge of positive energy, remove all negative. As for the location of the butterflies, they can be anywhere:
- walls;
- ceiling;
- bed linen, etc.
In addition, we are talking about different designs: in the form of stickers, stencils, paper applications. Butterflies can even be made of gypsum (several such photos of butterflies on the wall can be found in this article).
Living room
In this room, too many winged insects will be superfluous. So, you should limit yourself to their minimum content. As an option - a floor carpet, corresponding to the style of the room, with the image of a large butterfly. In addition, you can buy a blanket, also decorated with them, or opt for curtains with marvelous and beautiful insects.
Thanks to the decor, the atmosphere in the living room will be warm, harmonious and a little summer, despite the cold outside.
Kitchen
Even in this room, butterflies will appeal to many aesthetics in the field of design. Insects can be not only on walls or curtains - they can be found on dishes. In addition to the dark butterflies on the wall, you can add a few beautiful women to the large windows that will flutter beautifully. In this case, it is important to arrange them in a chaotic manner or to make some kind of pattern.
As an option - the same butterfly, only the size of the entire surface of the glass. It may not be possible to fully enjoy the street scenery, but it will certainly succeed in attracting attention.
Implementation Ideas
Butterflies for decoration of various rooms can be made from a variety of materials. Sometimes there are even exotic options. The final result of the decor will depend on this choice.
If there is a rich imagination and desire, then you can try to make a similar decor with your own hands. But in the absence of experience and presentation of the final result, it is worth starting with trial options. The more there are, the better. Among them, there will still be a form that will most resemble a real insect.
The newly created black butterflies on the wall can be attached to the place of their planned habitat. Then it will be easier to evaluate the effect and choose the best option.
Paper insects
This is the easiest and cheapest decor. Moreover, there are many techniques for its implementation. If the butterfly is planned to be flat, then it can be completely glued to a wall, panel or any glass surface. In this case, only the front part is important.
However, when creating a bulk composition, you need to use double-sided paper. Moreover, both sides should be painted black (you can use the other). The wrong side can only spoil the impression, and the product itself will turn out to be just a dummy.
Instead of the usual material, you can use corrugated. Then the effect will turn out to be slightly different: black paper butterflies on the wall will look light, airy, translucent. This is the best choice for the implementation of volumetric compositions.
In addition, other options can be used as material for creating butterflies:
- old magazines;
- newspaper clippings;
- postcards;
- paper napkins;
- wallpaper of the desired color.
In other words, any printed product can come in handy. It is worth noting that even one paper provides a lot of options for implementing butterflies in practice. But they can be painted in black or any other color, combined, made them layered. In a word, the scope for creative imagination is huge.
Cardboard Products
Cardboard can also be double-sided and color. Use it to create volumetric black butterflies on the wall. It’s easy to bend the wings relative to the butterfly’s body, because this material keeps its shape well. And better than paper. At the same time, the corrugated effect cannot be achieved. Due to the high rigidity of the cardboard, it is impossible to make small folds.
But from this material you can make lace butterflies. With a sharp knife, cut out all that is superfluous, leaving only partitions. Only the production of this kind of decor requires patience, perseverance and, of course, accuracy.
In addition, cardboard is suitable for creating a stencil for the mass production of butterflies of the same size. In extreme cases, you can make several templates of different sizes. Subsequently, "multiply" butterflies throughout the room is not difficult. This will take a minimum of time.
the cloth
And here it is desirable to have ready-made stencils of butterflies on the wall in the right size and quantity. Such decor can be mounted on a wall or used as an original lampshade for a lamp. Pre-fabric should be stiffened. The rest of the procedure is practically no different:
- attach a stencil;
- cut according to the contour;
- if necessary, decorate the butterfly;
- fasten to any surface.
It is worth noting that it is more difficult to work with fabric than with paper or cardboard. At the same time, the original decor is obtained. Those designers who have certain skills with the needle and are able to handle a sewing machine can go further. For example, they can recreate veinlets on wings.
Exotic in all its glory
During the Soviet era, many loved to listen to musical compositions on records. Since modern technologies are developing fast enough today, all songs have migrated to digital and optical media. However, the old records did not disappear, unless, of course, they were previously thrown into the landfill as unnecessary. But this is not a bad material for black butterflies to flutter on the wall.
In addition, the plates are just black - the matter remains small. Since vinyl is hard, you will have to reheat it in the oven for clipping. In this case, the baking sheet must be covered with foil so as not to spoil it.
To begin with, the contour of the future butterfly should be applied to vinyl (with a stencil it will be easier and faster). After that, the plate can be placed on a baking sheet with foil and sent to the oven. As soon as the material softens, you need to remove it and quickly (as far as possible) cut the contour of the insect. In this case, the workpiece will have to be heated more than once. You need to be prepared for this in advance. After the contour is cut out, you should heat the vinyl again in order to give the necessary shape.
Beer material
Used beer cans can be an excellent material for making decorative butterflies. Any other relatively soft tin can also come in handy.
The cans should be cut off the bottom with a lid, and then align the pieces of tin. Here you will also need a butterfly stencil on the wall. So, with an awl, the contour is transferred by points. They are connected with a marker to form a single pattern. Then it remains to cut the butterfly with metal scissors (although a regular tool will do).
The front part is sometimes not always attractive. Therefore, it is worth decorating the reverse shiny side. You can cover it entirely with black or paint it with felt-tip pens (markers) of various colors. At the same time, extreme care must be taken, since the edges are quite sharp. Cutting about them is worthless.
Fluttering beauties
Butterflies located on the wall cannot but attract attention from outside. A wide range of such decor will allow you to choose the appropriate options: multi-colored insects or mostly black. They can be placed independently or use the ideas of professional designers. In any case, the black butterflies transferred through the stencil on the wall will bring their zest.
And if the interior is just planned, it makes sense to purchase wallpapers with painted butterflies. Only, as experts note, it is not worthwhile to completely seal the room with such paper products. It is best to single out one or two zones and dilute them with other calm tones.
However, if necessary, it is worth focusing on butterflies, for example, choose wallpaper with a monochrome gamut and large insects. In this case, it is better to purchase two or three types so that you can alternate the stripes. The resulting transitions will make the room light. One type of butterfly can create an airy mood.
Using stickers
Thanks to stickers, you can significantly diversify the interior of any room that has lost its aesthetic relevance. They will come to the rescue in a situation where it was not possible to find suitable wallpapers and had to choose neutral colors. Wall stickers (black butterflies) will just be able to complete the plan.
On sale there are a wide variety of options for beauties that are easy to use. It remains only to choose the appropriate instances and give them a place on the wall. In this case, the assortment of stickers consists of different types, but the simplest of them is smooth vinyl material. With this decor you can decorate not only the surface of the walls, but also furniture.
You can arrange them in a chaotic manner (as was previously proposed for the kitchen) or create some kind of pattern, pattern that the manufacturer offers.
Many designers recommend using vinyl stickers in the form of black butterflies on the wall to create an entire image. This will require more space. Nevertheless, such a pattern, consisting of many fluttering butterflies, is able to set the tone for the entire interior of the room.
3D power
Say what you like, but volumetric decor will always look better than its two-dimensional counterparts. As a rule, it is used mainly for decorating walls, but on the ceiling it will look no worse. It can be attributed to voluminous figures of butterflies, which can be fixed to the surface using Velcro, buttons and other fixation tools.
But volumetric decoration really looks unimaginable. Its mere appearance resembles living fluttering insects. Choosing such a decor, it is worth stopping your choice on thin and plastic materials. In this case, even with a slight breeze, the butterflies flutter their wings, as if intending to take off.
Do not deny yourself fantasy. You can create any picture that pleases the soul. And this is not just bizarre patterns, because you can create, for example, a whole panorama or a separate composition.
art
Another interesting idea using black and white butterflies on the wall is paintings. You can pick up ordinary images or a volumetric version in your home. There are no restrictions on the quantity and size. You can hang several paintings (or one large) only on one wall or decorate them with all vertical surfaces.
This choice of decor is highly practical, because there is always the opportunity to replace the picture or even remove it. In this case, the appearance of butterflies will seem as real as when using volumetric vinyl stickers.
Volumetric paintings, of course, to a greater extent will revive fluttering beauties. You can put them on the bedside tables near the bed and admire each time before going to bed or at the next awakening.
An unusual atmosphere can be created using herbarium paintings of butterflies. In fact, these are real insects, only dried and placed under a glass frame. The use of black butterflies on the wall in a similar role to decorate the interior of the living room, kitchen or almost any other room will bring more naturalness and life.
This kind of painting can not only be purchased in a specialized store, but also made with your own hands. A good example is the placement on the wall of several such herbariums, which allows you to create a kind of gallery.
