Wallpaper - Lake in the Alps

Our Lake in the Alps wallpaper brings the dramatic scale of high mountain scenery indoors, captured in photographic detail by Lucas Tiefenthaler. The composition centres on a clear aquamarine alpine lake cradled by rugged peaks, where craggy grey rock faces meet earthy green grassy slopes rising from the water’s edge. White clouds drift across an open blue sky, giving the landscape a sense of depth and openness that naturally expands the feeling of a room. Like all of our mural wallpapers, this design is made-to-measure to fit your wall dimensions and printed on PVC-free paper with a subtle surface structure.

In the room

Because the photographic landscape carries significant depth and perspective, we think this design works best on a wider, relatively uninterrupted wall where the full expanse of the lake and mountain range can unfold. In a living room or a dedicated meditation space, placing the wallpaper behind lower-profile furniture keeps the horizon line visible and lets the natural scenery anchor the entire room. In open-plan living areas or a holiday home, the combination of cool aquamarine water and earthy mountain slopes creates a tranquil focal point that establishes a grounded, peaceful backdrop without overwhelming adjacent zones.

Styling it

To balance the dramatic scale and photographic detail of the mountain landscape, we recommend keeping surrounding furniture simple and grounded. Low-slung seating in neutral upholstery, such as muted greys, soft stone, or unbleached canvas, allows the blue of the lake to remain the visual centrepiece. Introducing natural wood elements with a clean, understated grain, such as ash or pale oak, complements the earthy green slopes in the composition. Keeping window treatments light and airy lets natural daylight interact with the crisp blue tones of the water and sky throughout the day.

Colour combinations

The design is defined by the vibrant aquamarine blue of the alpine lake, balanced by earthy greens along the lower slopes, slate and granite greys across the rocky peaks, and clean white cloud highlights against an open sky blue. For adjacent walls and trim, we like pairing this mural with soft stone greys or chalky off-whites that mirror the mountain rock without competing with the vibrant water. If you prefer deeper contrast, muted slate or deep forest green on surrounding woodwork or accent textiles will pull out the darker shadows in the peaks and lush shoreline vegetation.
