Wallpaper - Lakeside V

Our Lakeside V wallpaper, created by Leslie Trimbach, brings a calm lakefront scene together with expressive typography and wildlife illustrations. Hand-painted in style across an off-white textured backdrop, the design features the phrase "the LAKE is calling" surrounded by a swimming loon, water lilies, a mallard duck in flight, decorative buoys, and blueberry sprigs, framed by delicate rope-and-bead border motifs. Soft blues, forest greens, muted tans, and slate tones give the wall mural a serene, rustic character. Like all our wall murals, it is made-to-measure on PVC-free paper with a subtle surface texture that is straightforward to hang.

In the room

We see this wallpaper working especially well in a lakeside cabin, an entryway, a guest room, or a casual dining nook where you want a charming focal point. Because the central lettering and lake landscape carry strong narrative focus, giving this design a dedicated accent wall allows the entire illustration to be enjoyed without visual competition.

In a hallway or mudroom, it establishes an immediate rustic greeting, while in a cozy bedroom, placing it behind a bed frame creates an inviting backdrop. The design benefits from sitting against a wall with minimal obstructions so the loon, water lilies, and lettering remain clearly visible.

Styling it

To complement the relaxed lakeside character of the design, we recommend keeping surrounding decor natural and grounded.

• Pair with warm, natural wood finishes such as pine, oak, or reclaimed timber to enhance the rustic cabin aesthetic.
• Incorporate woven textiles, like chunky knit throws or simple linen accents in neutral cream and navy, to mirror the soft lakeside palette.
• Choose understated matte black or antique bronze hardware and lighting fixtures that echo the darker ink tones in the typography.

Color combinations

The wallpaper is built on an off-white ground with soft slate blues, earthy greens, warm tans, and deep charcoal lettering. For surrounding walls, we suggest soft creamy whites or pale warm grays to let the mural stand out softly. If you prefer deeper contrast on adjacent walls or trim, muted navy, deep evergreen, or slate blue picks up the water and wildlife details beautifully.
