Wallpaper - August Blooms

Created by Jeanette Vertentes, our August Blooms wallpaper brings a classic still life composition to life with expressive brushwork and painterly character. A blue and white ceramic vase decorated with pagoda motifs and foliage takes centre stage, holding an arrangement of full, textured blooms in soft white and lilac pastels with touches of cobalt, yellow, and deep green leaves. The background features gentle beige and grey brushstrokes that ground the composition in calm, earthy tones. Like all of our wallpapers, this design is made-to-measure and printed on PVC-free paper with a subtle surface texture.

In the room

Because this design is centred on a single still life motif, we see it working exceptionally well as a focused feature wall in a living room, dining room, or bedroom. The combination of the striking cobalt vase and the softer floral petals gives the mural wallpapers a strong central anchor without overwhelming the space. On an uninterrupted wall behind a dining table or headboard, the full scale of the painted vase and lush bouquet can be appreciated without tall furniture obscuring the brushwork.

In a dining space or living area with ample daylight, the subtle tonal shifts in the petals and background become especially rewarding to view up close. The tranquil palette also suits a quiet bedroom setting where the balance of soft whites and grounded earthy greys helps establish a calm visual backdrop.

Styling it

When styling around this design, we suggest keeping surrounding furnishings relatively clean in line to let the expressive painted details take the lead. Classic or heritage-inspired interiors feel like a natural match for the chinoiserie style ceramic vase, but contemporary pieces with simple silhouettes can also balance the painterly character nicely.

Dark wood finishes, such as walnut or deep mahogany, echo the darker stems and foliage within the artwork and ground the room. Alternatively, painted furniture in off-white or muted slate blue connects effortlessly with the vase detailing. Natural woven textiles on upholstery or window dressings keep the room feeling relaxed and grounded.

Colour combinations

The palette in our wallpaper centres around rich cobalt blue and porcelain white in the vase, paired with soft lilac, gentle yellow highlights, and dark forest green leaves, all set against a neutral grey and beige background.

For adjacent walls and woodwork, soft off-whites, warm greys, or muted stone shades will harmonise with the background brushwork. If you want a bolder interior statement, pulling the deep cobalt or an inky navy from the ceramic pattern onto surrounding cabinetry or an accent piece creates a striking visual connection across the room.
