Wallpaper - Moose by Lake

Designed by Leslie Trimbach, this watercolour wallpaper features a close portrait of a magnificent moose set against a calm lake and clouded blue sky. What we particularly like about this design is the painterly balance between the rich, earthy taupe and brown washes of the moose and the gentle coolness of the waterside backdrop. The fluid brushwork captures both the textured broadness of the antlers and the quiet openness of the landscape. Our made-to-measure mural wallpapers are printed on PVC-free paper with a subtle physical structure.

In the room

Because this mural features a prominent, large-scale subject positioned towards the centre and left of the composition, we would give it an uninterrupted feature wall where the moose and landscape have plenty of room to breathe. It works exceptionally well in a living room, dining room, or cosy den, creating an immediate focal point that anchors the space without overwhelming it.

In a home office, study, or bedroom, we would place this wallpaper behind a desk or headboard. The cool watercolour sky and lake in the upper and right portions of the mural keep the top of the room feeling light and expansive, while the grounded earth tones below provide warmth and visual stability.

Styling it

The rustic yet refined character of this watercolour mural wallpaper lends itself naturally to traditional, cabin, and Nordic-inspired interiors. We suggest keeping surrounding furniture straightforward and uncluttered to let the expressive artwork remain the centrepiece.

• Choose warm wooden furniture in honeyed or mid-toned finishes to echo the earthy undertones of the moose's coat and antler washes.
• Introduce textured wool or chunky knit upholstery and cushions in neutral stone or charcoal to complement the painterly texture on the wall.
• Opt for understated lighting with warm globes, allowing the soft watercolour gradients in the sky and water to glow gently during the evening.

Colour combinations

The palette of our wallpaper is rooted in natural contrast, pairing deep chocolate browns, earthy taupe, and muted mossy greens with soft slate blues, watercolour greys, and hazy cloud whites.

For surrounding walls, we suggest matching the breezy coolness of the lake with an airy off-white, chalky grey, or very pale blue-grey paint. If you prefer a moodier, enveloping scheme for a snug or study, deep taupe, warm mud brown, or woodland green on adjacent walls and woodwork will tie in seamlessly with the foreground shadows and details.
