Wallpaper - Lakeside V

Our Lakeside V wallpaper, created by Leslie Trimbach, brings a classic lakeside motif into a decorative, illustrative composition. The design centres around the phrase "the LAKE is calling", framed by scenic elements of water life including a flying mallard duck, a loon landing near water lilies, vintage-style wooden buoys, and blueberry sprigs against a soft mountainous shoreline. With its gentle palette of slate blue, forest green, earthy taupe, and crisp off-white, this mural wallpaper sets a charming, rustic tone. Our wallpapers are made-to-measure to fit your wall dimensions and printed on PVC-free paper with a subtle surface structure.

In the room

We see this wallpaper working especially well as an accent wall in a living room, hallway, or guest bedroom where the central typography and detailed wildlife illustrations can be appreciated up close. Because the artwork features a balanced, vignette-style composition with decorative border braiding at the top and bottom, giving it a relatively uninterrupted wall allows the full pictorial story to unfold naturally. In an entryway or mudroom, it creates an immediate sense of rustic welcome, while in a cottage-inspired dining area, it anchors the space behind a wooden dining table or sideboard.

Styling it

When styling around this design, we recommend leaning into natural materials and quiet textures that complement its outdoor theme.

• Pair the wallpaper with warm timber tones like pine, rustic oak, or painted cream furniture to enhance its relaxed, lakeside cabin feel.
• Choose understated soft furnishings in washed cotton, chunky knits, or plain linen in muted blues and oatmeal to keep the focus on the central artwork.
• Incorporate simple accents such as woven storage baskets, matte stoneware, or brushed brass hardware that echo the nostalgic, handcrafted character of the motif.

Colour combinations

The illustration combines a thoughtful mix of deep slate blue lettering, soft sage and moss greens in the lily pads, warm mallard feathers, and delicate dusky blueberries set against a pale cream textured ground. For surrounding walls and woodwork, soft off-whites, warm greiges, or light stone tones provide a clean and seamless transition. If you prefer deeper contrast on adjacent surfaces, a heritage navy or muted pine green drawn directly from the typography and foliage will create a cohesive, grounded interior.
