Wallpaper - Where is Your Happy Place?

Our Where is Your Happy Place? wallpaper, created in collaboration with artist James Wiens, brings a quiet lakeside retreat directly onto your wall. The landscape scene centers on a tranquil lake bordered by dense evergreen forests and tall pine trees, featuring a green canoe tethered at the water's edge with a golden retriever, an orange canvas tent nestled on the shore, and geese in flight against an open sky. Painted with an oil-like texture and earthy, natural tones of deep forest green, stone blue, and warm ochre, this scenic mural creates an expansive sense of depth across a room. Like all our wallpapers, this design is made-to-measure and PVC-free, with a subtle physical structure in the paper.

In the room

We see this scenic wall mural working particularly well in spaces where you want to introduce a calm, grounded atmosphere, such as a cozy living room, a quiet bedroom, or a relaxed vacation home or cabin. Because the composition features an expansive lake with a distant wooded horizon, giving it a wide, uninterrupted accent wall allows the visual perspective to open up the room. In a living room or reading nook, placing lower furniture like a sofa or low credenza along the base preserves the view of the water, the shoreline camp, and the pine trees rising into the upper portion of the wall.

Styling it

To complement the rustic, heritage character of this landscape, we suggest pairing the wallpaper with warm, natural interior elements.

• Warm wood furniture in tones like walnut, oak, or rustic pine harmonizes naturally with the deep forest greens and earthen shoreline in the painting.
• Tactile upholstery and textiles in textured wool, woven fabrics, or muted canvas echo the outdoor camping feel without overwhelming the room.
• Brass, blackened steel, or matte dark hardware provide clean contrast against the softer painted lake scenery.

Colour combinations

The wallpaper features a grounded palette of deep evergreen, slate and stone blues, warm tan, orange-ochre, and soft sky tones. For surrounding painted walls and woodwork, we recommend muted off-whites, warm stone grays, or soft earthy neutrals that allow the lake scene to stand out as the focal point. If you want to create a moodier, enveloping room, picking up the rich forest green or deep slate blue from the water on adjacent trim, bookcases, or cabinetry anchors the entire space beautifully.
