Wallpaper - Lake Retreat V

Lake Retreat V by Silvia Vassileva brings the quiet atmosphere of a lakeside landscape onto the wall through soft watercolor-like washes and gentle pictorial layers. In our wallpaper design, a calm deer stands among pine trees at the water’s edge, looking out across still blue water, rolling hills, and light clouds. The phrase "MEET ME at the LAKE" is hand-lettered across the open sky, giving the scenic composition a welcoming, illustrative character. Earthy greens and watery blues ground the artwork, while the open composition creates a sense of depth and breathing room. Produced as made-to-measure mural wallpapers, each order is printed on PVC-free paper with a subtle surface structure.

In the room

We see this scenic design working especially well in a lake house, rustic cabin, vacation home, or cozy lodge living space. Because the landscape features broad horizontal elements like gentle hills and open water, it sits comfortably across an uninterrupted feature wall behind a main sofa or dining table. The artwork also works beautifully in a guest bedroom or reading nook, where the quiet woodland mood brings a sense of the outdoors inside.

To give the picturesque panorama room to breathe, we recommend placing this wall mural on a surface that is not heavily obscured by tall bookcases or oversized wardrobes. Lower furniture allows the deer, forest shoreline, and peaceful water to remain in full view, anchoring the room without feeling visually crowded.

Styling it

When styling around our wallpaper, we like pairing it with elements that echo its natural, rustic cottage character. Mid-toned or lighter warm woods, such as natural pine or ash, complement the forest motif without competing with the detailed watercolor brushwork.

For surrounding soft furnishings, simple woven textures like thick wool throws or textured cottons balance the soft, illustrative landscape. Keeping accent pieces relatively clean and unpatterned allows the mural wallpaper to serve as the true focal point of the interior.

Colour combinations

The palette in our design centers on earthy fern greens, soft pine tones, muted lake blues, and warm off-white in the sky. To build a cohesive room scheme around it, we suggest pulling directly from these core shades.

A muted, earthy sage or pale blue on adjacent walls extends the peaceful landscape into the wider space. For woodwork and trim, an antique white or warm ivory provides a gentle frame that harmonizes with the light, open upper half of the artwork. If you want to introduce deeper contrast, dark pine green on painted cabinets or upholstery creates a rich, grounded anchor.
