Wallpaper - Above the Clouds

Our Above the Clouds wallpaper, created by Danussa, brings together vintage etching-inspired line work and a serene sky motif. Detailed hot air balloons drift among stylized, billowy clouds rendered in soft sage green, muted dusty blue-green, and creamy white against an open backdrop. The composition plays with scale and depth, foregrounding a bold, patterned balloon alongside crosshatched clouds while a second balloon recedes gently into the distance. It is an artistic, whimsical design produced as a made-to-measure, PVC-free wall mural with a subtle paper texture that gives the classic print aesthetic room to breathe on your wall.

In the room

We see this design working beautifully across a focal wall in a nursery, children's bedroom, or playroom, where the dreamy sky scene creates an engaging visual story without overwhelming the space. The open white background keeps the wall feeling airy and light, while the deep linework and shaded cloud banks anchor the lower and right portions of the mural. Because the main balloon sits prominently to one side, we would place this on a wall where lower furniture, such as a crib, toddler bed, or low shelving, leaves the upper sky and drifting balloons clearly in view. It also translates wonderfully to a creative living room accent or a relaxed bedroom, where the historic nineteenth-century etching style adds vintage character.

Styling it

To balance the graphic crosshatching and classic illustration style, we like pairing this mural with simple, grounded furnishings. Natural light wood furniture, such as pale ash or birch, complements the light backdrop and soft sage tones. Light linen textiles and unadorned surfaces keep the space calm, letting the detailed engraving lines take center stage. Avoid competing wall art or heavily patterned rugs nearby; a solid woven floor covering and minimal wall fixtures will give the balloons and billowing clouds the presence they deserve.

Color combinations

The palette in our design centers on gentle sage green, muted blue-green, clean off-white, and sharp black linework. For adjacent painted walls, soft off-whites, warm ivory, or a very pale sage create a seamless flow that echoes the sky. If you prefer more definition, deep slate, charcoal, or dark olive on surrounding trim or cabinetry can pick up the rich inked details of the foreground balloon.
