Wallpaper - Buttermere Lake

Our Buttermere Lake wallpaper captures a wide panoramic view across tranquil water towards rolling hills and woodland. Captured by photographer Steve Heap, the composition balances the deep blues of the rippling lake in the foreground with lush fern greens, dark forest patches, and warm sunlight across the fells under an open sky dotted with white clouds. The horizontal depth of the scenic photograph gives the landscape an open, expansive character that draws the eye across the full horizon. Like all Wallism wallpapers, this design is made to measure to your exact wall dimensions on our PVC-free paper with a subtle surface structure.

In the room

Because of its panoramic landscape format, we see this wall mural working particularly well on a wider, uninterrupted feature wall in a living room, meditation space, or holiday home. The sweeping horizon line naturally opens up the room, creating an impression of outdoor depth that suits larger main walls behind a low-profile sofa or along an open dining area. In rooms with generous natural daylight, the subtle tonal shifts between the fern green slopes and the darker woodland pockets stand out clearly without overwhelming the space.

Styling it

When styling around this photographic landscape, we prefer keeping surrounding furniture low and uncomplicated so the view across the water remains the main focus. Natural wood furniture in warm or mid-toned finishes complements the earthy palette of the hills and forests, while simple upholstered seating in neutral fabrics allows the rich greens and blues of the scenery to anchor the room. Restrained, unpatterned textiles work best here to maintain visual balance against the natural detail of the landscape.

Colour combinations

The palette in our wallpaper centres on rich fern green, deep forest tones, and earthy browns, balanced by clear water and sky blues. For surrounding painted walls and woodwork, warm off-whites, soft stone, or pale muted greens connect naturally with the landscape without competing with the scene. If you want to introduce deeper accents through cushions, rugs, or painted cabinetry, dark forest greens or slate blues drawn directly from the lake and trees create a cohesive, grounded interior.
