Wallpaper - August Blooms

Created by artist Jeanette Vertentes, our August Blooms wallpaper presents an expressive floral still life centered around a classic blue and white chinoiserie vase. Broad, layered brushstrokes give form to lush hydrangea or peony blooms in soft white, pastel lilac, and subtle hints of yellow, balanced by deep green foliage and rich cobalt blue detailing on the ceramic vessel. Set against an earthy, painterly background of muted cream, beige, and soft grey, this design brings an artistic and tranquil feel to the wall. Like all Wallism mural wallpapers, it is custom made-to-measure and printed on PVC-free paper with a subtle surface structure.

In the room

Because August Blooms features a prominent still life composition with distinct painterly character, we find it works best on a focal wall where the full artwork can be appreciated without heavy visual interruption. In a dining room, positioning the wallpaper behind a sideboard or along the main dining wall creates an inviting, sophisticated backdrop for shared meals. In a bedroom, placing this mural wallpaper behind the bed headboard brings a restful, romantic quality to the space. It also works beautifully in a living room, especially on a feature wall opposite seating, where the interplay of cobalt blue and botanical greens can anchor the room layout.

Styling it

To let the expressive brushwork and rich colors of the wallpaper stand out, we suggest pairing it with relatively clean-lined furniture and thoughtful material contrasts. Darker wood tones, such as walnut, or painted white cabinetry complement the classic heritage feel of the chinoiserie motif. Simple ceramic decor, clear glassware, and understated upholstery allow the intricate pagoda patterns and floral textures to take center stage. For window dressings and upholstery, matte linen or woven cotton fabrics in natural off-white or soft oatmeal provide tactile warmth without competing with the mural.

Colour combinations

The artwork centers on deep cobalt and porcelain blues in the vase, framed by forest greens, olive tones, and delicate petal shades of lilac, pale grey, and ivory against an earthy cream ground. When choosing surrounding colors, we recommend pulling the soft cream or pale stone from the background for adjacent painted walls and woodwork to create a seamless, expansive transition. For a bolder look, deep navy or rich botanical green accents in cushions or cabinetry echo the darker tones in the foliage and ceramic design. Soft lavender or muted butter yellow can also be introduced sparingly in small accessories to highlight the subtle highlights within the flowers.
