Wallpaper - Above the Lakes

Our Above the Lakes wallpaper captures an expansive landscape with rolling hills, distant water, and soft, impressionistic brushwork. Created by artist Danhui Nai, the design balances broad sweeps of fern green, ochre, and earthy brown in the foreground with deep evergreen ridges and cool blue-grey lakes receding toward a pale horizon. The painterly style creates a sense of openness and gentle movement, making this scenic wall mural an engaging focal point that brings the quiet depth of nature indoors. Like all Wallism wallpapers, it is custom made-to-measure and printed on PVC-free paper with a subtle physical structure.

In the room

Because of its painterly depth and distant horizon, we especially like this design on a wider, relatively uninterrupted wall in a living room or a dedicated meditation space. In a living area, placing the mural behind a low sofa allows the sweeping green foreground and layered background hills to remain fully visible across the room. The horizontal lines of the distant lakes draw the eye across the space, helping a room feel open and grounded without overwhelming the surrounding architecture.

Styling it

To let the painted textures and subtle color transitions lead the room, we suggest keeping larger surrounding furniture clean and understated in form.

• Low-profile seating in simple, tailored shapes keeps sightlines clear to the horizon line across the wall.
• Warm, natural wood pieces harmonize with the ochre, tan, and soft orange undertones painted across the foreground hills.
• Linen, wool, or woven textiles in undyed or earthy shades complement the impressionistic character without competing for attention.

Color combinations

The palette within the mural blends fern green, olive, warm ochre, and earthy clay tones across the lower ground, transitioning into deep pine green, slate blue, and pale sky grey above. Around the room, adjacent painted walls work well in muted off-whites, warm stone, or quiet putty tones that draw from the lighter cloud layers. For trim, cabinetry, or upholstered accents, deeper moss greens or soft slate blues provide a natural visual bridge to the distant hills.
