Wallpaper - Attersee

Our Attersee wallpaper brings Gustav Klimt's celebrated impressionist landscape directly to the wall, capturing the light and movement across the surface of the Austrian lake. Rendered in an oil paint style, the composition is dominated by a field of aquamarine blue and turquoise tones, where dappled brushstrokes and soft greenish patches mimic ripples across calm water. Towards the upper edge, a hazy shoreline provides gentle depth without interrupting the rhythmic, almost abstract quality of the water below. Produced made-to-measure on PVC-free paper with a subtle surface structure, this design brings an artistic focus to residential interiors.

In the room

Because the motif is built from a dense field of brushwork rather than a rigid architectural repeat, we find our wall murals based on this artwork adapt effortlessly to different room proportions. On a wide, uninterrupted wall in a living room or bedroom, the expanse of water creates a restful visual backdrop that feels expansive rather than overwhelming. The vertical gradient, moving from the rich turquoise foreground up towards the lighter horizon, draws the eye upward, making it a compelling choice behind a low headboard or sofa. We also see this working particularly well in a dedicated meditation space or vacation home where the tranquil subject matter sets a gentle, contemplative tone.

Styling it

To balance the vibrant painterly texture of the brushstrokes, we suggest surrounding the wallpaper with grounded, tactile materials that allow the art to remain the focal point.

• Combine the design with natural, untreated or light-oiled timber furniture to complement the earthy heritage tones embedded in the green and turquoise palette.
• Keep large upholstery and rugs in simple, unpatterned woven textiles like wool or linen, avoiding competing graphic patterns that could clash with the impressionist brushwork.
• Introduce soft accents in brushed brass or warm stone to subtly reflect the warm flecks in the painting without adding unnecessary glare.

Colour combinations

The artwork centres on vibrant aquamarine, turquoise, and pale sky blue, interspersed with muted olive and moss green dapples. When painting adjacent walls, woodwork, or ceiling surfaces, we recommend drawing out the paler tones from the water's surface with soft off-whites, chalky creams, or gentle seafoam shades. For trim or built-in cabinetry, deeper moss greens or muted slate blues provide a handsome frame that anchors the lighter tones within the motif.
