Wallpaper - Lakeview

Our Lakeview wallpaper, created by Yvette St. Amant, captures a quiet waterside scene through soft, fluid watercolour washes. A misty blue-grey horizon blurs the boundary between water and sky, while dark silhouettes of flying birds and foreground bullrushes frame the composition with graphic clarity. What we particularly like about this design is the balance between the open, atmospheric gradient in the centre and the crisp botanical details rising from the lower edge. Printed made-to-measure on our PVC-free paper with a subtle surface structure, it brings a peaceful, nature-led perspective to any interior.

In the room

Because the composition features darker reeds grounded along the bottom edge and an expansive, misty wash rising towards the top, we see this working exceptionally well as a feature wall behind a low bed frame or a simple sofa. The open upper section helps maintain a feeling of airiness across taller walls, while the horizontal water line gives wider living rooms and bedrooms a grounded sense of calm. In a study or reading room, giving this wallpaper an uninterrupted wall allows the subtle watercolour transitions and distant tree line to remain clearly visible without being crowded by tall shelving.

Styling it

To complement the painterly character and tranquil mood of the motif, we suggest pairing it with clean-lined furniture and organic textures.

• Choose low-profile furniture in light ash or pale oak to echo the serene, nature-inspired setting without competing with the detailed reeds in the foreground.
• Introduce tactile textiles such as unbleached cotton or brushed wool in neutral tones to balance the cool slate blue of the water.
• Keep wall decor minimal on adjacent walls, allowing the landscape's open horizon to serve as the main focal point of the space.

Colour combinations

The wallpaper is defined by a cool, atmospheric palette of slate blue, misty grey, off-white, and deep charcoal in the reeds and birds. To complement these tones, we suggest using soft off-white or chalky grey on adjacent walls and woodwork to maintain a bright, seamless flow. For a cosier, more enveloping space, you can also draw out the deeper slate tones by incorporating darker grey upholstery or charcoal iron details in lighting and hardware.
