Wallpaper - Dreaming in Clouds

Our Dreaming in Clouds wallpaper, created by Yvette St. Amant, captures the gentle depth of an overcast sky rendered in soft painterly brushstrokes. Swirling, billowy cloud formations in chalky whites and muted pastel greys drift across a pale bluish-grey backdrop, creating a layered and atmospheric composition with an oil-painted look. The subtle tonal shifts and visible brush textures give the artwork a quiet, artistic presence that feels open and expansive. Like all our mural wallpapers, this design is made-to-measure to fit your room dimensions and printed on PVC-free paper with a subtle surface structure.

In the room

We find this design works exceptionally well in bedrooms, where the soft transitions and low-contrast grey tones provide a tranquil backdrop behind a headboard. The fluid, upward movement of the cloud forms gives smaller bedrooms and nurseries a lighter, more open feel without demanding overwhelming visual attention. In a dedicated meditation room or reading corner, we would install this mural across a main wall to anchor the space in serene, painterly texture. The restrained palette allows the pattern to fill a wide wall while maintaining an airy, uncluttered visual balance throughout the room.

Styling it

Because the artwork has an expressive, painted texture, we like pairing it with simple furniture shapes and quiet natural materials. Low-profile furniture in light oak or whitewashed ash complements the pale tones of the sky, keeping the overall look grounded and contemporary.

To maintain the soft atmosphere, incorporate tactile textiles such as unbleached linen bedding, woven wool throws, and matte ceramic accents. The organic brushwork naturally suits organic modern and contemporary interiors, where the wallpaper can serve as the primary decorative element alongside understated, unadorned architectural details.

Colour combinations

The motif is built around chalky whites, pale dove greys, and muted bluish-grey undertones with soft charcoal shading within the cloud folds. To complement this palette, we suggest pairing the wall mural with surrounding walls and woodwork painted in off-white, light chalk grey, or soft slate. Muted sage green and warm putty tones also work beautifully in larger textiles and upholstery, adding subtle depth while harmonising with the cool, gentle foundation of the sky.
