Wallpaper - The Lake at Sunrise

Our The Lake at Sunrise wallpaper brings together a serene park landscape with the distant silhouettes of city skyscrapers, captured in crisp morning light by photographer Jan Becke. In the foreground, rugged rock outcroppings and a calm body of water anchor the view, while lush green tree foliage frames the reflective lake and the clean lines of modern high-rise architecture across the clear blue sky. The composition offers a balanced visual depth that draws the eye across natural textures into the open cityscape. Like all our wall murals, this design is made-to-measure on PVC-free paper with a subtle surface structure, making it straightforward to hang.

In the room

We especially like this design on a wider, uninterrupted feature wall where the horizontal expanse of the lake and treeline can stretch out fully. In a spacious living room, placing this wallpaper along the main focal wall behind a low sofa allows the clear sky and vertical skyscrapers to open up the sense of room height. It also works naturally in a dedicated home study, creating a calm backdrop that feels grounded yet visually expansive. Because the foreground features deep grey rock and the midground holds rich green tones, lower furniture helps keep the full depth of the landscape visible from across the room.

Styling it

To complement the natural balance between greenery and urban architecture, we suggest pairing this wall mural with clean-lined contemporary furniture. Pieces with simple geometry echo the sleek profile of the distant buildings without competing with the organic textures in the foreground.

We would keep surrounding textiles relatively quiet, choosing smooth upholstery and simple window treatments that let the photography carry the visual interest. Low-profile credenzas or shelving in muted finishes keep the base of the scene open, maintaining the feeling of space and light across the entire wall.

Colour combinations

The palette in our wallpaper centres on rich foliage greens, slate grey stone, soft water reflections, and a clear sky blue, balanced by the neutral glass and steel tones of the skyline.

When choosing paint colours for adjacent walls or woodwork, soft stone greys or quiet off-whites work particularly well, harmonising with the urban horizon and morning light. If you prefer deeper contrast, a muted forest green drawn from the leafy canopy creates a cohesive, enveloping atmosphere around the room.
