Wallpaper - By the Lake

Our By the Lake wallpaper, created by Silvia Vassileva, presents an expansive impressionist landscape defined by sweeping open skies and distant horizons. Broad, painterly brushwork blends soft cloud tones of white, gray, and blue across the upper portion of the composition, while lower abstract fields introduce subtle touches of green, pink, and earthy hues. Distant dark hills anchor the horizon line, giving the panoramic scene a quiet sense of depth and atmospheric balance. Like all our wall murals, this design is made-to-measure on PVC-free paper with a subtle paper structure, offering an artistic focal point that brings an open, painted landscape character into the room.

In the room

Because the composition divides naturally between an open sky and grounded earthy fields, we see this working particularly well across a wider, uninterrupted living room wall. Giving the landscape generous horizontal space allows the full panoramic depth and the line of distant hills to unfold without abrupt breaks. In a home library, study, or dedicated quiet room, placing the mural wallpaper behind lower seating or open shelving keeps the airy upper atmosphere visible, creating a spacious and composed backdrop that does not overwhelm the rest of the interior.

Styling it

We recommend pairing this painterly motif with furnishings that respect its soft, artistic character and balanced contrast:

• Choose low-profile seating or minimalist furniture in muted upholstery, allowing the expansive horizon line to remain the dominant visual anchor in the room.
• Introduce natural wood elements in warm or mid-toned finishes to echo the earthy undertones found along the lower edge of the artwork.
• Keep accent textiles understated, using matte, unpatterned weaves that support the painted textures on the wall rather than competing with them.

Colour combinations

The design itself centers on a base of cloud gray, soft sky blue, and muted white, grounded by earthy greens, subdued pinks, and dark charcoal at the horizon. Around the wallpaper, we suggest drawing on the lighter cloud tones for adjacent walls and trim, which helps the expansive sky merge naturally into the surrounding architecture. If you prefer deeper contrast, grounding the room with charcoal or deep slate accents on cabinetry or larger furniture pieces will nicely reflect the distant hills in the painting.
