Wallpaper - Lakeside Village Retreat

Our Lakeside Village Retreat wallpaper captures a tranquil hillside settlement settled along calm turquoise water. Designed by Barry Van Wagner, the composition balances layered green foliage, rich fern tones, and earthy accents with white and beige architecture topped by warm red-tiled roofs. Large windows in the buildings face out across the scene, lending a natural architectural rhythm to the landscape without overwhelming the organic greenery. The contrast remains soft and scenic, making it an engaging focal point that retains an open, peaceful presence across the wall. Like all Wallism wallpapers, this design is made-to-measure to fit your room dimensions and printed on PVC-free paper with a subtle surface structure.

In the room

We see this design working particularly well in a living room, bedroom, or dining area where the scenic depth can unfold across a wider, uninterrupted wall. Because the lower portion of the motif features the calm turquoise lake while the upper section rises into lush hills and rooftops, positioning it behind a low-backed sofa or a bed frame allows the architectural details and foliage to remain in clear view. In a lake house, summer house, or holiday home, the natural coastal feel connects effortlessly with the surroundings, but it brings that same grounded, restful outdoor atmosphere to an everyday home space.

Styling it

When styling around this mural wallpaper, we suggest keeping larger pieces of furniture understated so the landscape remains the visual centrepiece of the room. Natural wood furniture in lighter or warm, honeyed tones complements the earthy greenery and warm roof tiles without competing with the detailed scene.

For textiles, simple upholstery and woven accents in neutral cream, oatmeal, or unbleached tones provide a balanced foreground. Choosing clean, relaxed silhouettes ensures the scenic backdrop feels modern rather than overly ornate.

Colour combinations

The palette in our wallpaper centres on rich fern and earthy greens, set against tranquil turquoise water and punctuated by the warm terracotta red of the rooftops alongside soft white and beige building facades.

To build a cohesive room scheme around the design, we recommend echoing the soft off-white or light sand tones from the village walls on your adjacent painted surfaces and skirting boards. If you prefer deeper contrast, accents in warm terracotta, soft clay, or a muted moss green on cushions and throws draw directly from the hillside details.
