Wallpaper - Stormy Skies

Our Stormy Skies wallpaper, created in collaboration with artist Danhui Nai, captures an abstract landscape composed of swirling, cloud-like textures and layered horizontal brushstrokes. Soft smoke greys and pale blues in the upper expanse transition into grounded, earthy brown tones across the lower horizon, giving the impression of an oil-painted sky gathering over land. The open composition and fluid blending give this design a calm, atmospheric presence with a subtly moody character. As with all our wallpapers, this design is custom made-to-measure on PVC-free paper with a subtle paper structure, designed to be straightforward to hang.

In the room

In a living room, we would place this mural wallpaper across a main uninterrupted wall, perhaps behind a low-profile sofa, allowing the full atmospheric gradient from sky to earth to be appreciated without tall furniture breaking the horizontal horizon. The soft, diffuse quality of the brushwork also makes it well suited to a dedicated meditation room or quiet reading corner, where the gentle transitions between grey and earthy tones set a tranquil backdrop. The design benefits from rooms with soft daylight or diffused ambient lighting, where the delicate tonal shifts between pale blue and warm grey reveal their subtle painterly depth.

Styling it

The painterly, organic feel of this landscape design works particularly well in organic modern and contemporary interiors. We would balance the expressive brushwork with understated furniture featuring clean, low lines to keep the horizon open. In terms of materials, warm wood elements like muted ash or light walnut bring out the earthy brown tones in the base of the design, while unbleached textiles and textured ceramic accents ground the surrounding space without competing with the movement of the sky.

Colour combinations

The palette in our wallpaper centres on smoke grey, soft cloud blues, and muted earthy browns. When choosing colours for surrounding walls, woodwork, and larger textiles, we recommend staying within a tonal, nature-inspired palette. Soft chalky off-whites and cool greys echo the upper cloud work, while deeper warm taupes, clay, or stone tones complement the earthy base of the mural. For a cohesive look across the room, you could pick up the pale blue-grey note in smaller accents or painted joinery.
