The Story Behind - Verdant Embrace
There is something eternal about our connection to nature. The greens that surround us, the warmth of the earth, the quiet rhythm of landscapes. And all of it has shaped how we see and feel the world. For belarteSTUDIO, nature is not only a visual reference but a foundation. This is the story behind Verdant Embrace.
This collection continues our journey through landscapes and the evolution of scenic wall art where emotional connection meets contemporary design. This collection explores how color, history, and emotion interact to form interiors that feel grounded yet modern. It’s a story about the harmony between the past and the future. And about rediscovering beauty that both comforts and inspires.
The roots of Verdant Embrace
There is no secret that the verdant greens of nature lie close to our hearts. The reason for that might be found in our history and the simple fact that we have always been surrounded by nature. Green is a color we have lived with in many ways, representing calm, comfort, and safety. In Verdant Embrace, the wall murals takes this emotional relationship and translates it into scenic compositions that connect directly with the viewer. These murals are not only beautiful; they function emotionally, changing how we feel in a room.
The collection also draws from the rich history of ancient tapestries. Artworks that once depicted grand scenes of life and landscape. Their intricate textures and sense of storytelling deeply influenced our approach to this new series. Combined with today’s contemporary interiors, these visual traditions find new meaning and balance.
Looking back, thinking forward
While the wall murals in this collection are inspired by history, the design process was far from nostalgic. The belarteSTUDIO design team always strives to work with an open mind, exploring influences from both traditional craft and modern culture.
For this collection, fashion became an important source of inspiration. The design team observed new shades and evolving color combinations within the international fashion scene. From the earthy depth of burgundy to the luminous softness of butter yellow, fashion’s latest palettes encouraged us to explore new ways of pairing colors. These discoveries shaped the core of Verdant Embrace. An elegant dialogue between nature’s enduring greens and fashion’s forward-looking tones. The result is a series of murals that feel both timeless and current, rooted in the natural world yet aware of the cultural moment we live in.
New Colorways
Within Verdant Embrace, we release new colourways of three existing designs that have become part of the belarteSTUDIO identity:
-
Tapestry Landscape – now in Light Olive and Light Blue
-
Caribbean Landscape – in Terracotta and Dusty Green
-
Chinoiserie – presented in Butter Yellow
Each design carries its own mood and story. The Light Olive version of Tapestry Landscape is calm and contemporary, a subtle nod to natural pigments found in Scandinavian woodlands while the Light Blue variant brings serenity and airiness.
The Caribbean Landscape in Terracotta introduces warmth and depth, a modern take on earth tones that connect directly to the comforting richness of Warm Wood. Its Dusty Green variation brings a quieter, introspective mood. Sophisticated and soft at once.
And finally, the Chinoiserie Butter Yellow. A hue discovered in fashion collections and reinterpreted for interiors. It’s light yet grounded, nostalgic yet refreshing. A perfect example of what we call contemporary Softness.
Contemporary Softness and Inverted Colorways
The visual identity of Verdant Embrace builds on contrast and balance. The collection continues our exploration of inverted colorways. A design approach where traditional color hierarchies are flipped to create unexpected harmony. Greens become backgrounds, neutrals move forward and brightness is layered rather than placed on top.
We also worked with repeated tapestry motifs, a technique that brings rhythm and tactility to the murals. By repeating and mirroring certain details, we created compositions that feel familiar yet dynamic, but also never static. This careful interplay between softness and structure defines the character of Verdant Embrace. It’s a collection that feels expressive but not overwhelming.
The function of beauty
At belarteSTUDIO, every collection begins with the same question: what role does beauty play in our lives? For Verdant Embrace, the answer is clear, beauty should make us feel better. The function of beauty is emotional. When colors and compositions align, they do more than decorate. They restore balance. The greens offers stability and calm; the butter yellow introduces joy and light and the subtle tapestry wall murals brings history and artistry into the present moment.
Through scale, depth, and carefully chosen tones, each mural in Verdant Embrace is designed to shift the atmosphere of a room. It turns walls into living landscapes, a backdrop that resonates on a personal level.
Where It All Comes Together
In this collection, we return to what has always guided us. Our relationship with nature and our belief in the function of beauty. This collection is not about trends but about timeless expression. The way a landscape can calm a space, how color can shift emotion and how design can connect us to what feels real.
By revisiting the artistry of tapestry and chinoiserie through a contemporary lens, Verdant Embrace merges history, fashion influences, and feeling into one visual language. It’s a celebration of color in all its depth. The greens of stillness, the butter yellows of light, the burgundy notes of warmth.
Each mural tells a story that belongs both to the past and to the moment we live in now. It reminds us that beauty has a purpose, and that purpose is connection, to nature, to our homes, and to ourselves.
