Wallpaper - Christmas

Our Christmas wallpaper brings a rich, illustrative holiday scene into the room, illustrated with the soft character of watercolor painting by Kathleen Parr McKenna. The composition centers on a classic festive interior, complete with a glowing fireplace, wrapped presents, and a decorated pine tree adorned with colorful baubles and gingerbread figures. Through the window, softly falling snow contrasts with the warm hearth inside, while details like a wooden rocking chair with a fern green cushion, toys, and book-lined shelves give the motif a nostalgic, traditional storybook feel. We make our mural wallpapers to measure on PVC-free paper with a subtle surface structure, creating an inviting seasonal narrative that is straightforward to hang.

In the room

Because this design functions as a complete illustrative scene with distinct architectural and interior elements, we see it working best on a main feature wall where the entire tableau can unfold without heavy visual interruptions. In a living room, dining room, or cozy den, placing the wallpaper across a wall behind low seating or opposite an entryway allows the visual warmth of the fireplace and tree to anchor the entire space.

For a vacation home, cabin, or lodge, the Americana and Victorian storytelling quality feels right at home, especially in shared living spaces where the rich detail can be appreciated up close. Because the motif includes a complete room perspective with its own floor, hearth, and window view, we recommend keeping surrounding wall fixtures minimal to let the narrative horizon line sit naturally within your space.

Styling it

The detailed watercolor illustration carries a strong sense of nostalgia and traditional craft, so surrounding furniture and decor work best when they complement rather than compete with the visual story.

We would pair this design with classic wooden furniture, such as warm oak, pine, or antique painted pieces, which harmonize naturally with the rocking chair and wood shelving in the artwork. Keeping surrounding upholstery in muted, solid fabrics allows the intricate details of the tree, gifts, and mantelpiece to remain the primary decorative focus. Simple, traditional accents in brass or cast iron also echo the hearthside character without cluttering the room.

Colour combinations

The illustration is built on warm amber and hearth tones balanced by rich greens, including fern green and deep pine foliage, with subtle accents of classic red, gold, and soft window-blue.

To create a balanced interior, we recommend drawing from the wallpaper's earthy base tones for adjacent walls, such as warm off-white, soft cream, or muted beige. For trim, cabinetry, or accent upholstery, a deep fern green or soft forest tone connects beautifully with the tree and chair cushion, grounding the room while letting the warm glow of the fireplace illustration stand out.
