Wallpaper - Lakeside V

Our Lakeside V wallpaper mural, created by Leslie Trimbach, brings together a rustic lakeside scene with hand-lettered typographic detail. Central to the composition is the quote "the LAKE is calling", framed by detailed wildlife illustrations including a flying mallard, a swimming loon, water lilies, blueberries, and vintage-style buoys against a soft mountainous lake backdrop. The muted palette of navy blue, soft water blues, forest greens, earthy tans, and off-white gives the design an approachable, nostalgic cottage character. Produced as a made-to-measure, PVC-free wall mural with a subtle structure in the paper, it offers a distinct, nature-inspired focal point for the home.

In the room

Because of its central typography and illustrative details, we see this wall mural working particularly well as an accent wall where the motif can be viewed without heavy visual interruption. In a living room, dining room, or hallway, placing the design behind a low credenza, sofa, or dining bench ensures the loon, water lilies, and lettering remain visible and clear. It also feels very much at home in a guest bedroom, study, or lake cottage entryway, where the narrative quality of the artwork sets an inviting, relaxed tone.

Styling it

When decorating around this design, we recommend balancing the graphic lettering and detailed illustrations with understated, rustic or classic cottage elements.

• Pair the wallpaper with warm timber furniture, such as natural pine, aged oak, or painted white wood, which echoes the traditional lakeside aesthetic.
• Choose surrounding upholstery and soft furnishings in quiet textures like plain woven wool, crisp cotton, or natural twill, avoiding competing patterns.
• Incorporate simple accessories, such as matte ceramic vases, braided natural baskets, or subtle weathered iron fittings, to complement the rustic motifs.

Colour combinations

The motif is anchored by a considered palette of navy, denim blue, muted moss green, warm tan, and off-white. For adjacent walls and woodwork, soft off-white or light warm grey creates a crisp, clean background that lets the mural stand out. If you prefer deeper colour continuity, picking up the navy blue or forest green on interior doors, trim, or surrounding cabinetry anchors the room beautifully and enhances the lake-inspired theme.
