Wallpaper - Set It Free, Winter Lake

Our Set It Free, Winter Lake wallpaper brings together swirling movement, dynamic zigzag strokes and collage-like textures in a rich modernist composition. Designed by Irina Chikati, the artwork balances denim and dark blue tones with warm brown, charcoal grey and expressive splashes of light blue and white. Bursting circular forms and rough, gestural scribbles sit alongside fluid washes, creating an energetic abstract rhythm across the surface. Made to measure on our PVC-free paper with a subtle physical structure, this is one of our most expressive mural wallpapers, well suited to giving a living room or study an engaging artistic presence.

In the room

Because of the energetic rhythm and varied visual scale in the composition, we particularly like this design on a wider, uninterrupted wall. In a living room behind a low sofa or along a dedicated feature wall in a dining room, the full flow of swirling lines and painterly marks has enough room to be seen as a cohesive abstract landscape.

The balance of deep blue and earthy brown tones also makes our wallpaper work well in more focused residential spaces, such as a study, home library or bedroom. In a bedroom, placing it behind the headboard allows the darker base to anchor the sleeping area while the lighter blue and white splashes add visual movement above. In a hallway or entryway, the dynamic diagonal lines can help draw the eye along the length of the space.

Styling it

To let the expressive brushwork and layered markings take centre stage, we would pair this design with relatively quiet, grounded furnishings. Mid-century modern or contemporary furniture silhouettes with clean horizontal lines prevent the room from feeling visually crowded.

• We would lean towards warm, natural wood finishes such as mid-tone oak or teak to echo the earthy brown passages in the artwork and balance the cooler denim blues.
• Keep larger upholstered pieces in solid, textured neutrals like oatmeal, slate grey or deep indigo rather than competing patterns, allowing the wallpaper to carry the pattern in the space.
• Subtle metallic details in brushed bronze or blackened iron complement the modernist character of the print without introducing distraction.

Colour combinations

The palette within our design relies on a dialogue between cool and warm tones. Dark blue and washed denim shades form the foundation, punctuated by earthy brown, soft grey, crisp white and pale blue accents.

When choosing colours for surrounding walls, woodwork or cabinetry, we suggest pulling directly from these base shades. A muted grey-blue or soft off-white on adjacent walls keeps the atmosphere balanced and fresh. If you prefer a moodier, enveloping scheme, matching your skirting boards or a neighbouring wall to the wallpaper's deeper denim or slate tones creates a seamless, tailored finish.
