Wallpaper - By the Lake

Our By the Lake wallpaper captures an expansive, painterly horizon created by artist Silvia Vassileva. Dominated by a soft, cloud-filled sky in blended shades of grey, white, and gentle blue, the composition balances quiet atmospheric tones with an impressionistic meadow below. Gentle brushwork brings the foreground alive with flecks of green, earthy hues, and delicate touches of pink and red that suggest wild grasses and flowers moving in the breeze. Dark, rolling hills ground the distant horizon, adding a sense of depth and open perspective. Like all our wall murals, this design is made-to-measure on PVC-free paper with a subtle paper structure, offering an artistic, expressive backdrop for the home.

In the room

Because the sky occupies the upper portion of the composition, this wallpaper brings a remarkable feeling of airiness to larger rooms and living spaces. We particularly like it on an uninterrupted feature wall in a living room, where the full sweep of the horizon can unfold without being crowded by tall storage. In a home library or a dedicated reading and meditation room, the low-contrast brushwork and soft cloud tones create a calm, uncluttered atmosphere that feels naturally immersive. The horizontal flow of the landscape also suits the wall behind a low-backed sofa or reading bench, keeping the darker hill line and meadow details visible across the lower third of the room.

Styling it

We would keep the surrounding interior relatively grounded to let the impressionistic landscape carry the visual character of the space.

• Pair the wallpaper with low-profile furniture in warm, natural wood tones to connect with the earthy base of the painted meadow without competing with the horizon line.
• Introduce soft, unpatterned upholstery in chalky off-white, muted grey, or soft oatmeal to maintain the quiet, atmospheric mood of the open sky.
• Add subtle accent pieces in dusky rose or muted forest green through cushions or ceramic details, drawing softly on the wildflower tones in the foreground.

Colour combinations

The palette of our wallpaper is anchored by cool cloud greys, misty blues, and soft whites across the sky, anchored by darker slate tones along the distant hills and earthy greens, pinks, and reds through the meadow. For surrounding painted walls, we recommend pairing the mural with soft off-whites or pale stone greys that echo the lighter cloud formations. If you prefer a richer contrast, deep slate grey or an earthy olive green on adjacent woodwork, panelling, or shelving will frame the mural wallpapers beautifully while picking up on the grounding shades of the landscape.
