Wallpaper - August Clouds Study

Our August Clouds Study wallpaper brings a scenic rural landscape into the home with an open, painterly feel. Designed by Sue Schlabach, the motif features a bright blue, aquamarine-tinted sky filled with drifting white cloud formations over a rolling green hillside. Two dark trees rest on the textured terrain, their small cast shadows giving depth and balance to the composition. Soft, oil-paint-style brushwork and earthy yellow undertones lend the artwork a gentle, handmade character across the wall. Made-to-measure on our PVC-free paper with a subtle surface structure, it creates an expansive view across the room while remaining easy to hang.

In the room

In a living room, we would place this design on a main feature wall behind a sofa where the sweeping horizon and open sky can be enjoyed in full. The generous proportion of blue sky creates a sense of height and vertical openness, which works nicely in rooms with standard ceiling heights. Because the composition is anchored by the green hillside along the lower portion, everyday furniture can sit in front of it without cutting off the key details of the trees and clouds. In a dedicated meditation space or quiet reading corner, the tranquil scenery offers a calm, window-like backdrop that invites the eye into the distance.

Styling it

We recommend keeping the surrounding furniture relatively understated to let the painterly quality of the wall mural remain the focal point.

• Warm wood pieces, such as mid-tone oak or vintage timber, complement the earthy landscape tones and grounding green hillside.
• Low-profile seating and clean upholstery in unbleached, natural textiles prevent visual clutter along the lower half of the wall.
• Subtle ceramic accents and matte finishes pair well with the traditional, impressionist feel of the painted brushwork.

Colour combinations

The artwork centres on clear aquamarine blues, cloud whites, earthy greens, and subtle warm yellow undertones. For adjacent painted walls and woodwork, soft off-white or light stone shades harmonise easily with the bright sky without competing with it. If you want to echo the landscape elements more directly, muted olive green or warm linen tones on curtains, cushions, or large rugs create a grounded, cohesive palette throughout the room.
