Wallpaper - August Bloom

Our August Bloom wallpaper brings an expressive, painterly floral still life into the home. Created by Jeanette Vertentes, the artwork centres on an abundant bouquet arranged in a blue and white ceramic-style vase detailed with pagoda and tree motifs. Broad, energetic brushstrokes create lively blossoms in white, pink, purple, green, and soft orange, giving the impression of fresh oil paint on canvas. What we particularly appreciate about this design is the balance between the classical structure of the vase and the vibrant, modern freedom of the floral arrangement. Like all Wallism mural wallpapers, it is custom made-to-measure on PVC-free paper with a subtle surface structure, making it straightforward to hang.

In the room

We see August Bloom working especially well as a focal point in a dining room, living room, or welcoming entryway. Because the composition has a clear central anchor in the vase and an upward burst of colour, it thrives on an uninterrupted feature wall where the entire still life can unfold without heavy obstruction. In a dining area, positioning the mural behind the table creates an inviting backdrop that draws the eye, while in a living room, placing it behind a low sofa lets the expressive floral canopy command attention across the space. The generous scale of the brushwork ensures the pattern reads clearly across larger rooms, yet offers intriguing painterly texture when viewed up close.

Styling it

To let the artwork remain the focal point, we recommend keeping larger surrounding furniture relatively quiet in form and tone. Clean-lined contemporary pieces or understated heritage-inspired furnishings work equally well alongside the painterly motif. When introducing accessories, choosing simple ceramic objects or glass pieces that reflect the colours of the petals helps tie the room together without competing with the mural's visual energy.

Colour combinations

The design combines rich blues and crisp whites in the vase with a diverse floral palette of rose pinks, lilacs, leafy greens, and gentle orange highlights. For adjoining painted walls and woodwork, a soft, chalky off-white or a muted cool grey creates a clean frame around the artwork. If you prefer a richer setting, bringing out the deep cobalt blue of the vase on surrounding trim or cabinetry produces a striking, enveloping effect that echoes the traditional ceramic detailing.
