Wallpaper - Buttermere

Our Buttermere wallpaper captures a serene Lake District landscape, photographed by Steve Heap. The composition centres on calm water reflecting two green hills, framed by a line of lush trees beneath a clear sky with soft white clouds. Gentle ripples across the surface bring subtle visual movement to an otherwise quiet panoramic view, while the natural balance of sky blue, rich greens, and earthy tones creates a restful, open perspective on the wall. Produced made-to-measure on PVC-free paper with a subtle physical paper structure, our design is straightforward to hang and brings an expansive natural view into the home.

In the room

We see this photographic landscape working especially well in a living room, a tranquil meditation room, or the main living area of a vacation home. Because the scene relies on an expansive horizon and clear water reflections, giving the design a wider, uninterrupted wall allows the full depth of the panoramic landscape to open up naturally. Placing our wall mural behind a low-profile sofa or on a main accent wall keeps the horizontal balance of the lake and hills visible from across the room. In spaces with generous natural daylight, the crisp contrast between the blue sky and vibrant green foliage feels particularly fresh and true to life.

Styling it

The natural balance of our landscape design pairs effortlessly with classic and English country style interiors, as well as relaxed modern spaces.

• We recommend pairing the wallpaper with warm wood furniture, such as honey-toned oak or rustic pine, which mirrors the earthy undertones of the rolling hills.
• Keep surrounding furniture lower in profile so the reflective horizon of the lake remains the central focal point of the room.
• Use soft, unpatterned textiles in off-white, oatmeal, or muted moss green on curtains and cushions to maintain a quiet, harmonious setting without competing with the scenery.

Colour combinations

The palette of our wallpaper is defined by clear sky blue, lush natural greens, soft cloud white, and earthy hill tones. Around this design, we suggest choosing warm neutrals or muted earthy shades for adjacent painted walls and woodwork.

Soft warm white or chalky stone on surrounding walls keeps the atmosphere light and airy, echoing the clouds without stark contrast. For a richer, more grounded feel, a muted olive or soft sage green on skirting boards or neighbouring walls picks up the foliage directly and frames the photographic landscape naturally.
