Wallpaper - August Blooms

Our August Blooms wallpaper, created by Jeanette Vertentes, brings a painterly still life to the wall with expressive oil-paint brushwork and classic decorative charm. The design centres on a blue and white ceramic-style vase detailed with traditional pagoda and foliage motifs, overflowing with lush, textured blooms in soft white, pastel lilac, and delicate hints of yellow. Deep green leaves ground the floral arrangement against a neutral, brushstroked backdrop of soft beige and grey tones. Produced to your exact wall dimensions on PVC-free paper with a subtle physical surface structure, our mural wallpapers are straightforward to hang and make an elegant focal point in any room.

In the room

Because the motif is composed as a bold, painterly still life, we like to see this design positioned where its full vertical composition can be appreciated without heavy visual obstruction. In a dining room or living room, it works wonderfully on a main feature wall behind a sideboard, low console table, or dining table where the blue and white vase anchors the space. In a bedroom, placing this wall mural behind the headboard creates a tranquil, romantic atmosphere, allowing the soft floral petals to soften the perimeter of the room. The balance of rich cobalt blue and muted earthy neutrals gives the wallpaper enough presence to define a room while maintaining a calm, serene mood.

Styling it

To complement the painterly character and heritage notes of the design, we suggest pairing the wallpaper with classic furniture pieces that have clean or traditional lines. Darker wood tones such as walnut or antique mahogany bring out the rich cobalt patterns of the vase, while painted ivory or off-white furniture keeps the overall space feeling airy and relaxed.

When choosing textiles, simple weaves in soft grey, pale lavender, or natural unbleached tones echo the gentle highlights in the flower petals without competing with the detailed brushwork. Keeping decorative accents minimal around the main wall allows the expressive floral composition to stand as the primary artistic statement in the room.

Colour combinations

The artwork features a harmonious palette of cobalt and sky blues, soft lavender, warm whites, and deep leafy greens, all resting on an earthy backdrop of light beige and warm grey. For surrounding walls, woodwork, and trim, we recommend soft off-whites, warm greys, or muted stone tones to seamlessly blend with the painted background. If you want a more distinct contrast, pulling the deep cobalt blue or a muted sage green into adjacent paintwork, velvet cushions, or dining chairs creates a cohesive, considered colour story.
