Wallpaper - By the Lake

Our By the Lake wallpaper by Silvia Vassileva brings an expansive impressionistic landscape into the home. A vast sky filled with soft, cloud-like brushstrokes in shades of white, gray, and subtle blue stretches across the upper composition, creating an open and airy atmosphere. Below the horizon, sweeping dark hills anchor the scene, while an abstract foreground reveals painterly touches of green, earthy tones, and hints of red and pink reminiscent of wild grasses. Produced made-to-measure on PVC-free paper with a subtle surface structure, this design offers a tranquil backdrop with the visual character of an expressive oil painting.

In the room

Because the artwork features a low horizon and an open sky across the upper two thirds, we see this working exceptionally well on a wide, uninterrupted wall in a living room, library, or dedicated meditation space. Placing it behind a low sofa or a reading bench allows the full vertical breadth of the sky to remain visible, enhancing the sense of vertical space in the room. In rooms with ample natural daylight, the gentle color shifts between the gray and blue cloud tones become particularly pronounced, while in softer evening lamplight, the earthy foreground tones take on a warmer, grounded presence.

Styling it

We recommend pairing this landscape with understated furnishings that allow the brushwork to remain the focal point. Low-profile seating in neutral linen or muted wool balances the visual weight of the darker lower third of the mural. Furniture crafted in warm, natural wood tones such as walnut or muted oak complements the earthy base of the painting without competing with its color variation. For decorative accents, simple matte ceramics or muted textiles in soft clay or dusty pink echo the subtle foreground details, keeping the overall interior feeling balanced and calm.

Color combinations

The wallpaper is built around a foundation of cloud gray, soft whites, and hazy sky blues, contrasted with deeper hill tones and touches of botanical green, warm earth, and dusty pink. When planning adjacent walls, we suggest pulling from the lighter cloud grays or a soft off-white to maintain an open feel throughout the space. If you prefer deeper contrast in trim or surrounding cabinetry, a muted slate gray or a deep olive green drawn from the landscape creates a sophisticated, cohesive connection.
