Wallpaper - Lake Retreat II

Our Lake Retreat II wallpaper brings the tranquil atmosphere of lakeside living into the home with an illustrative, nature-inspired composition by artist Silvia Vassileva. Centred around the phrase "Take Me to the Lake", the artwork is framed by woodland details including pinecones, green pine needles, acorns, and rustic brown foliage. Below the typography, a quiet landscape unfolds with soft watercolour trees, distant hills, and a small canoe resting gently on a calm body of water. Rendered in deep navy blues, earthy browns, and muted greens against a textured white-wash background, our custom-sized wall murals are printed on PVC-free paper with a subtle paper structure.

In the room

Because this design features a central typographic quote and a framed landscape illustration, we like it best on a prominent feature wall where the entire motif can be viewed without awkward visual breaks. In a living room or den, placing it behind a main sofa creates an inviting focal point that immediately establishes a grounded, rustic character. It also works naturally in a bedroom or guest room, particularly when positioned behind the bed as an alternative to an ornate headboard. For summer houses, lodges, or holiday cabins, the woodland theme feels right at home across an open wall area where natural daylight helps bring out the softer tonal shifts in the water and foliage.

Styling it

To complement the rustic, illustrative quality of the design, we suggest leaning into classic heritage or country cabin styling with furnishings that share its relaxed warmth.

• Choose warm wood furniture, such as mid-toned timber, rustic pine, or aged oak, to pick up the natural brown elements in the pinecones and acorns.
• Introduce deep navy or forest green upholstery and soft throws to echo the primary pigment tones within the trees and typography.
• Keep surrounding decorative items simple and understated, opting for matte ceramics or woven textures that let the scenic illustration remain the primary focus of the wall.

Colour combinations

The palette in our wallpaper centres on deep navy blue and rich woodland browns, balanced by forest greens and a soft, textured white ground. When selecting paint colours for adjoining walls or woodwork, an off-white or creamy ivory provides a clean continuation of the background tone without creating harsh contrast. If you prefer deeper colour enveloping the space, a dark navy or a muted pine green drawn from the illustration works nicely across baseboards, window frames, or adjacent feature areas to create a cohesive, cosier feel.
