Wallpaper - Lakeside Village Retreat

Our Lakeside Village Retreat wallpaper by Barry Van Wagner captures a hillside settlement resting beside calm turquoise waters. Clustered white and beige cottages with warm red-tiled roofs peek through dense layers of fern and earthy green foliage, creating a gentle balance between architectural shapes and rich natural scenery. The landscape composition draws the eye across the tranquil water and up into the terraced greenery, giving walls a peaceful depth without overwhelming the surrounding room. Like all Wallism wallpapers, each piece is made to measure to fit your exact wall dimensions and printed on PVC-free paper with a subtle surface structure.

In the room

We see this landscape mural working especially well in a living room, dining area, or bedroom where you want to introduce depth and a sense of open scenery. Because the artwork features a rich panoramic vista with layered trees, water, and architecture, it performs best on a wider, relatively uninterrupted accent wall. Placing it behind a sofa or behind a bed frame allows the upper foliage and hillside village to remain visible and frame the room naturally. In a vacation home or lake house dining space, our wall murals can serve as an expansive scenic backdrop that visually connects indoor living with outdoor landscape views.

Styling it

When styling around this mural wallpaper, we suggest keeping the large furniture forms simple and grounded to let the detailed landscape carry the visual focus. Warm, natural timber finishes such as mid-tone wood or honeyed tones sit comfortably alongside the terracotta roof tiles and earthy greens in the motif. To complement the peaceful coastal feel, you might choose unpatterned soft furnishings in sandy beige, warm off-white, or muted linen tones that echo the stone and plaster of the village homes.

Colour combinations

The palette in this design is built on cool turquoise water set against rich fern greens, olive tones, and warm terracotta accents on the rooftops. For adjacent painted walls and woodwork, warm off-whites, creamy stone tones, or soft neutral beiges create a balanced and light backdrop that lets the green landscape stand out. If you prefer a richer and more enveloping palette, picking out a muted sage or soft olive from the hillside foliage for nearby walls or painted cabinetry provides an effortless tonal transition across the room.
