Wallpaper - Lake Life

Our Lake Life wallpaper brings a rustic, lakeside character to the wall with a bold fish silhouette set against a weathered, vertical wood-plank backdrop. Designed by Wild Apple Portfolio, the artwork features the words "LAKE LIFE" typeset across the body of the fish in a distressed, block-print style. The palette is intentionally restrained, relying on smoky grey, off-white, and charcoal tones to create a balanced, vintage aesthetic. Like all our mural wallpapers, this design is custom made-to-measure to your exact wall dimensions on PVC-free paper with a subtle paper texture.

In the room

We love this design as a central feature wall in a holiday cottage, cabin, living room, or entryway. Because the fish silhouette is large and horizontally oriented, we suggest giving it a wide, uninterrupted wall where the complete motif can be seen without tall furniture cutting across the lettering. It works particularly well behind a low-backed sofa, above a simple bench in a hallway, or across a dining wall. The vertical plank backdrop also introduces subtle upward lines, which can help add a sense of height to rooms with standard or lower ceilings.

Styling it

The rustic and nostalgic feel of the artwork pairs naturally with simple, tactile furnishings. We recommend styling around this wallpaper with clean-lined pieces in natural materials, allowing the bold graphic to remain the main focal point:

• Combine the wallpaper with warm, natural timber furniture such as a reclaimed pine dining table or an oak entryway bench.
• Balance the graphic black-and-grey tones with chunky woven textiles, like a heavy wool throw or an undyed jute rug.
• Keep wall accessories minimal around the mural to let the central typography and silhouette stand out clearly.

Colour combinations

The motif relies on smoky grey tones, soft chalky whites, and rich charcoal black. To complement these shades, we suggest pairing adjacent walls with soft off-whites, warm greys, or muted stone colours to maintain an airy, relaxed feel. If you prefer a moodier atmosphere, surrounding walls painted in a deep charcoal or washed slate will frame the central motif nicely while keeping the overall scheme grounded.
