Wallpaper - Lake Retreat VII

Our Lake Retreat VII wallpaper brings together classic woodland motifs and a painted lakeside scene created by Silvia Vassileva. Rich watercolor illustrations of pine branches, oak leaves, acorns, a brown bear, and a canoe by a wooden dock frame distant mountains, accompanied by the lettering "Going to the Lake is Going Home". Rendered in an earthy palette of warm mocha, brown, and soft blue tones, the composition carries a distinctly rustic, vintage-inspired feel. Produced made-to-measure on PVC-free paper with a subtle surface structure, our wallpapers are designed to be straightforward to hang and make an inviting focal point in any room.

In the room

This wall mural works especially well in spaces where you want to create a grounded, welcoming atmosphere. In a living room, bedroom, or entryway, we like placing it on a main feature wall behind a sofa or bed headboard, where the illustrated scene and typography have enough open wall space to be appreciated. For a country cottage, cabin, or holiday home, the nature-inspired elements naturally complement the surrounding setting. The balanced contrast between the deep browns and lighter mountain backdrop allows it to sit comfortably across a full wall without overwhelming the rest of the room.

Styling it

When styling around this design, we suggest leaning into natural finishes and relaxed shapes that echo its rustic character:

• Pair with warm wood furniture, such as pine, reclaimed timber, or warm oak, to reflect the woodland tones in the illustration.
• Introduce soft, tactile textiles in wool, chunky knit, or muted linen to enhance the cosy, lodge-like feel.
• Keep surrounding decorative items simple and understated, allowing the detailed illustration and script to remain the central focus.

Colour combinations

The design is built on earthy mocha, deep brown, and soft blue tones, balanced with warm neutral accents throughout the landscape. When selecting paint shades for adjoining walls, woodwork, or built-in cabinetry, consider warm off-whites, creamy neutrals, or muted taupe to keep the space bright and cohesive. For a slightly moodier, enveloping palette, pulling out the deeper mocha or a subtle slate blue from the lake and distant mountains creates a handsome, harmonious backdrop.
