Wallpaper - Mountain Lake

Our Mountain Lake wallpaper, created by artist Courtney Prahl, captures an atmospheric landscape composed of broad brushstrokes, painterly washes, and subtle paint splatters. The composition draws the eye across deep indigo, navy, and petrol water in the foreground, rising toward misty mountain silhouettes and a pale, cloud-softened sky. We particularly like how the balance of expressive paint texture and open horizontal space gives the design an expansive, tranquil presence. Like all our mural wallpapers, this design is made to measure to your exact wall dimensions on PVC-free paper with a subtle paper structure, offering an easy way to transform your interior.

In the room

Because the motif is organised horizontally with deep tones anchoring the bottom and an airy sky above, we find it works exceptionally well behind lower furniture. In a bedroom, placing this mural behind a headboard allows the layered mountains and quiet sky to remain fully visible, grounding the room without overwhelming the upper wall area. In a dedicated meditation space or quiet sitting corner, giving the wallpaper a wide, uninterrupted wall allows the full scale of the landscape to unfold naturally. The rich tonal depth of the water and the cooler palette make it particularly well suited to spaces where you want a calm, reflective backdrop.

Styling it

To balance the cool blues and expressive brushwork, we suggest introducing elements that bring warmth and quiet structure to the room.

• Natural timber furniture, particularly warm oak or walnut, adds an inviting contrast to the slate and navy tones of the water.
• Unstructured natural textiles like washed linen bedding or wool throws in ivory, oat, or heather grey soften the setting while echoing the painterly texture of the sky.
• Understated architectural lighting, such as warm-temperature table lamps or focused picture lights, gently brings out the tonal layers in the mountains during the evening.

Colour combinations

Our design centers on a rich foundation of navy, indigo, and deep teal-blue across the water, transitioning through softer slate blues and misty greys into pale off-white tones across the horizon. When selecting paint colours for surrounding walls and woodwork, muted off-whites or soft pale greys echo the upper sky and keep the room open. If you prefer a more enveloping palette, painting adjoining walls or cabinetry in deep navy or slate blue ties directly into the base of the mural and creates an immersive, cohesive space.
