Wallpaper - Lakeside III

Illustrated by Leslie Trimbach, this scenic lake wallpaper captures a peaceful lakeside wildlife scene set against soft hills and wooded shores. Two deer stand quietly by reed-lined waters in the foreground, while a mallard duck flies overhead and a loon glides across the water beneath the hand-lettered header "LOON LAKE" framed with small blueberry sprigs. The design pairs gentle muted forest greens and earthy fawn browns with soft watercolour-inspired textures on an off-white ground, creating a calm, rustic narrative mural. Like all our wallpapers, it is custom made-to-measure and PVC-free with a subtle physical texture in the paper.

In the room

We see this mural wallpaper working beautifully as an accent wall in a children’s room, nursery, bedroom, or a relaxed family living room. Because the artwork forms a distinct narrative composition with wildlife in the lower and middle ground and open water towards the centre, it benefits from being placed on an uninterrupted wall where the animals and landscape can be seen clearly. In a child's bedroom or nursery, setting low storage or a cot slightly away from the main deer illustration keeps the focal point visible. The soft, natural tones also suit a quiet guest room or hallway where a nature-led scene adds character without overwhelming the space.

Styling it

To complement the rustic, illustrated nature of the artwork, we would pair this design with simple furniture in natural materials. Lighter wood finishes, such as birch, light ash, or soft pine, harmonise naturally with the woodland setting, while muted painted furniture in off-white or soft moss tones helps the wall mural feel integrated into the room. Keep surrounding textiles quiet and unpatterned, using woven wool, simple cotton, or waffle knits to balance the detailed scenery without introducing competing visual noise.

Colour combinations

The palette within the wallpaper centres on earthy fawn brown, muted forest green, soft sage, slate blue, and a warm, textured off-white background. For adjacent painted walls, woodwork, or built-in cabinetry, we recommend picking up on these tones with soft sage greens, chalky off-whites, or warm biscuit neutrals. If you want a deeper accent in surrounding decor or upholstery, a muted slate blue drawn from the loon and lake tones provides a pleasing, grounded balance against the green foliage.
