Wallpaper - Above the Clouds

Designed by Danussa, our Above the Clouds wallpaper brings a classic, vintage-engraving character to life with soaring hot air balloons drifting through layered, billowy clouds. The composition creates a sense of aerial depth through fine cross-hatching line work, pairing a boldly patterned foreground balloon with a softer, distant balloon receding into the open sky. Muted sage green and soft blue-grey tones settle comfortably against clean white and crisp black linework, giving the scene an illustrative, storybook quality. Made to measure on our PVC-free paper with a subtle surface structure, this design brings a whimsical yet refined focal point to any room.

In the room

We love this design on a main feature wall where the scale of the clouds and hot air balloons can unfold without heavy visual interruption. In a nursery, toddler room, or children's bedroom, placing the mural wallpaper behind a crib or low bed frame allows the rising composition to draw the eye upward, enhancing the feeling of vertical space.

The artistic linework also translates wonderfully into a calm guest bedroom, living room, or study. Because the upper area of the wallpaper remains airy and open, the pattern adds narrative charm without making the room feel enclosed or overly busy.

Styling it

The classical etching style pairs naturally with vintage, heritage, or Scandinavian-inspired furnishings. We suggest keeping surrounding furniture silhouettes simple and grounding the space with warm, natural wood tones such as pale oak or warm pine, which pick up the grounded, earthy quality of the palette.

For textiles, simple woven cottons or soft wool rugs in neutral tones allow the graphic detail of the sky to remain the primary visual focus. A few matte ceramic accents or vintage brass lamps will echo the historic illustrative feel without competing with the wall mural.

Colour combinations

The wallpaper features a restrained palette of sage green, soft muted blue, crisp off-white, and detailed black hatching. To create a cohesive room scheme, we recommend drawing from the soft greens or sky blues for adjacent painted walls, bed linen, or soft furnishings.

If you prefer a quieter background, warm off-whites, pale cream, or very light greige on neighbouring walls will complement the sky backdrop and let the darker linework stand out cleanly.
