Wallpaper - August Storm

Our August Storm wallpaper, created with artist Pamela Munger, captures an expansive painted landscape defined by an open, atmospheric horizon. Billowy white and pale blue clouds drift across a vast sky, meeting distant deep blue hills that anchor the composition. Below, sweeping plains unfold in blended earthy tones of muted green, soft yellow, and warm brown. The painterly oil brushwork gives the scenery a timeless, artistic depth, making it an expressive choice for a serene accent wall. Like all Wallism mural wallpapers, this design is made-to-measure to your exact wall dimensions and printed on PVC-free paper with a subtle surface structure.

In the room

In a living room, August Storm creates a wonderful sense of distance and breathing room. We particularly like placing this design along a main, uninterrupted wall, such as behind a sofa or across an open sitting area, where the full panoramic horizon can stretch out without heavy visual breaks. The high proportion of soft sky in the upper half of the motif keeps the room feeling airy, while the darker blue ridgeline in the middle ground naturally draws the eye across the space.

For a dedicated meditation space or quiet reading corner, the mural wallpaper sets a grounded, tranquil tone. The gentle blending between the field tones and cloud formations avoids sharp contrast, allowing the design to wrap a room comfortably without feeling visually demanding. In rooms with generous natural daylight, the subtle tonal shifts between the earthy greens and golden-yellow patches in the foreground become especially noticeable.

Styling it

When decorating around this landscape, we suggest balancing the expressive brushwork with understated furnishings and clean silhouettes.

• Choose low-profile furniture in natural finishes such as warm timber or soft painted neutrals, keeping the visual weight low so the painted horizon remains the focal point of the room.
• Introduce tactile textiles like coarse wool throws or washed linen upholstery in sandy beige, cream, or muted olive to echo the organic feel of the rolling fields.
• Use soft, indirect lighting from floor lamps or wall sconces to bring out the warmth in the ochre and brown foreground tones during the evening.

Colour combinations

The palette in our wallpaper centres on a dialogue between cool sky blues and warm, grounded earth tones. The upper section is dominated by soft white, mist blue, and a deeper slate blue along the distant hills, while the lower plains blend muted sage, dried grass yellow, and umber.

To complement these shades on surrounding walls, woodwork, or built-in joinery, we suggest looking to the softer tones within the landscape. A warm, creamy off-white or light chalky greige on adjacent walls will keep the atmosphere bright while framing the mural wallpaper naturally. If you want a moodier, more cocooning feel, a muted slate blue matched to the distant hills works beautifully on skirting boards, doors, or shelving.
