Wallpaper - Tarn Hows

Our Tarn Hows wallpaper captures a serene lakeside landscape photographed by Steve Heap, where dense woodlands encircle still water under a dramatic sky. The composition draws the eye along a gentle shoreline path and across the reflective surface of the water, framed by rich foliage and rolling distant hills. A palette of deep forest green, vivid fern tones, and earthy neutrals gives this photographic design a grounded, organic character. Produced made-to-measure on PVC-free paper with a subtle surface structure, it creates an immersive scenic feature that brings the outdoors naturally into your interior.

In the room

Because of its expansive landscape perspective and photographic depth, we like seeing this design on a main feature wall in a living room or a dedicated meditation space. In a larger living room, placing the mural on an uninterrupted wall behind a low sofa allows the full panorama of the lake and tree canopy to unfold without visual disruption. The visual horizon and water reflections create an open, airy sensation, making the room feel connected to nature. In rooms with generous daylight, the subtle tonal shifts between the fern leaves, darker tree canopy, and soft cloud highlights reveal their full detail, while warmer evening lamps enhance the deep, earthy undertones along the shoreline.

Styling it

To let the detailed natural scenery remain the central focus, we suggest pairing this wall mural with understated, well-proportioned furniture. Low-profile seating in textured neutral fabrics like oatmeal or stone keeps the sightline across the water clear while complementing the landscape's organic feel. Warm, natural wood finishes such as mid-tone oak or teak echo the earthy tones of the woodland path and tree trunks. Keeping surrounding decorative accessories simple and grounded helps maintain the quiet, balanced atmosphere of the scene.

Colour combinations

The design is built around a lush spectrum of fern green, deep forest green, and soft earthy brown, balanced by the muted greys and off-whites of the cloudscape. On adjacent walls, warm off-whites, pale stone, or gentle mossy neutrals work exceptionally well to extend the outdoor feeling without competing with the landscape. For trim, skirting, or larger furniture pieces, deeper moss greens or rich warm browns draw direct inspiration from the trees and shoreline, anchoring the entire space in a cohesive, nature-inspired palette.
