Wallpaper - Ellesmere

Our Ellesmere wallpaper captures a serene lakeside landscape photographed by Steve Heap, where calm water mirrors surrounding foliage and a historic stone building with a tower and spires. Willows and evergreens frame the water’s edge beneath soft, partly cloudy skies, creating a balanced, scenic composition rich in fern green and natural earthy tones. As with all Wallism wall murals, this design is made to measure according to your wall dimensions and printed on PVC-free paper with a subtle surface structure.

In the room

For a living room or vacation home, we see this scenic landscape working best on a main feature wall where the panoramic lake view and architectural details can unfold without heavy visual interruption. Because the composition relies on the horizontal reflection across the water and the vertical rise of the distant spires, positioning it behind a lower sofa or low credenza keeps the focal points visible and balanced. The natural greenery and open water provide an expansive scenic backdrop that brings an outdoor presence to interior spaces.

Styling it

This landscape pairs naturally with heritage and English country styling. We would lean into timeless, understated furniture pieces that echo the rural character of the photograph:

• Choose warm or medium-toned wood furniture, such as classic oak or rustic timber, to complement the earthy foliage and stone architecture.
• Keep surrounding upholstery and soft furnishings in muted, textural weaves rather than bold modern prints so the mural wallpapers remain the primary visual focus.
• Incorporate subtle brass or antiqued bronze accents in lighting or hardware to subtly connect with the historic feel of the building.

Colour combinations

The palette in our wallpaper centres on rich fern greens, deep evergreen shades, soft earthy browns, and the muted grey-blue reflections of the water. To complement these tones on adjacent surfaces, we recommend pairing the design with soft off-white, warm stone, or muted taupe paint. For a more grounded, immersive atmosphere, a deeper olive or muted linden green drawn from the leafy foreground works beautifully across trims, baseboards, or built-in joinery.
