Wallpaper - August Storm

Our August Storm wallpaper by Pamela Munger captures the expansive, painterly horizon of late summer, where rolling cloud cover meets distant dark blue hills. The composition balances a sweeping sky of soft whites and atmospheric blues with an open field below, painted in earthy blends of muted green, ochre yellow, and warm brown. The oil paint aesthetic gives the landscape a smooth, layered visual depth, grounding the lower half of the wall while keeping the upper expanse feeling open and light. Like all Wallism mural wallpapers, this design is made-to-measure to your exact wall dimensions on PVC-free paper with a subtle physical structure that is straightforward to hang.

In the room

In a living room, this mural wallpaper works exceptionally well on a wide, primary wall behind a low sofa or credenza. Because the composition relies on the horizontal rhythm between the grounded fields and the soaring cloudscape, giving it an uninterrupted wall allows the full depth of the landscape to unfold naturally. The design also suits a dedicated meditation room or quiet sitting area, where the soft transitions between earth and sky establish a restful, uncluttered visual backdrop.

Rooms with ample natural daylight bring out the nuanced tonal shifts within the cloud formations and the subtle yellow and green notes in the meadow. In spaces with softer, warmer artificial lighting, the darker blue ridge along the horizon deepens, giving the room an intimate, settled atmosphere as the day winds down.

Styling it

We recommend pairing this landscape design with understated, timeless interior elements that respect the painterly character of the artwork. Low-profile furniture in warm woods like walnut, white oak, or vintage teak helps anchor the lower foreground without interrupting the horizon line. Keeping larger upholstery in solid, textured neutrals—such as oatmeal, cream, or soft flax—allows the gentle color transitions of the sky to remain the primary visual focus.

For accents, quiet choices work best alongside this motif. Consider unlacquered brass or blackened iron hardware, which echo the darker undertones of the distant hills, and simple ceramic vessels in raw terracotta or matte stone to reflect the earthy field tones.

Color combinations

The wallpaper is built on a foundation of sky blue, billowy white, deep horizon blue, and an earthy mix of muted moss green, ochre yellow, and soft soil brown.

When choosing paint colors for adjacent walls and trim, we like pulling from the lighter tones in the sky, such as a chalky off-white or a very pale, muted slate blue, to maintain an open feeling throughout the room. If you prefer a richer, more enclosed palette, an earthy olive, warm clay, or a deep midnight navy on surrounding woodwork or built-in shelving will pick up the deeper landscape tones and frame the mural wallpaper with deliberate warmth.
