Wallpaper - Lakeside IV

Our Lakeside IV wallpaper, created by Leslie Trimbach, brings a serene lake scene to life with a hand-painted watercolour look. The composition centres on an open-winged loon resting among soft ripples, surrounded by floating water lilies, pads, and tall bulrushes. In the background, wooded hills, rolling mountains, and a flying mallard duck sit beneath the stylized lettering "LAKE LIFE". Rendered in muted moss greens, watery blues, soft greys, and earthy browns against an off-white backdrop, this design adds a gentle, illustrative character to any wall. Printed to your exact dimensions, our wallpapers are PVC-free and easy to hang.

In the room

We see this wallpaper working particularly well on an accent wall where the central loon and scenic landscape can remain visible and unobstructed. In a living room, dining room, or bedroom, placing this wall mural behind low-profile furniture ensures the detailed water lilies and bulrushes in the foreground remain clearly in view. The open composition and muted watercolour tones also make it well suited to a guest room, study, or hallway where you want to introduce an outdoorsy, tranquil theme without overwhelming the space. In rooms with plenty of soft daylight, the gentle shifts between the watery blues and muted greens become especially distinct.

Styling it

When styling around this mural wallpaper, we suggest leaning into natural materials and relaxed, rustic or cottage-inspired decor. Consider pairing the design with warm wood furniture, such as pine, ash, or light oak, which echoes the wooded lakeside setting. Painted wooden panelling or understated furniture in soft off-white or muted sage helps keep the visual focus on the artwork. For textiles, simple textured fabrics like unbleached cotton or washed linen in neutral tones complement the gentle, illustrative quality of the print without competing with the detailed scene.

Colour combinations

The palette in our Lakeside IV wallpaper features soft aquatic blues, muted mossy greens, slate grey, earthy brown, and pale cream highlights. To build a balanced scheme around it, we recommend using soft off-white or pale stone on adjacent walls and woodwork. If you would like to introduce subtle colour contrast, muted moss green, deep forest green, or slate blue drawn from the foliage and water can be introduced through cabinetry, painted furniture, or soft furnishings.
