Wallpaper - Holiday Tartan and Chinoiserie I

In our Holiday Tartan and Chinoiserie I wallpaper, designer Yvette St. Amant brings together rich red and green tartan plaid with delicate blue and white chinoiserie porcelain, evergreen pine sprigs, and a prominent red bow. The painted watercolor character and classic 18th-century decorative influence give this seasonal motif a refined, traditional presence on the wall. Produced as made-to-measure, PVC-free wall murals with a subtle physical structure in the paper, our wallpapers offer an expressive backdrop for holiday dining rooms and inviting living spaces.

In the room

We especially like this design on a feature wall in a dining room, where the interplay of tartan and chinoiserie sets an elegant, celebratory backdrop for shared meals. In a living room, it works wonderfully along an uninterrupted wall behind a sofa or flanking a fireplace, allowing the full composition of greenery, plaid, and porcelain vases to be appreciated without visual crowding. For a welcoming entryway or powder room, the layered motifs create an immediate sense of warmth and festive heritage as guests arrive. Because of the pattern's graphic detail and narrative interest, we recommend keeping larger furniture pieces relatively quiet so the mural wallpapers remain the focal point.

Styling it

To complement the rich heritage style of the pattern, we suggest pairing it with warm dark wood furniture, such as mahogany or walnut dining tables and classic sideboards. Crisp white table linens and subtle brass hardware or candleholders echo the timeless feel without competing with the vibrant red bows and deep green pine branches. For surrounding soft furnishings, simple solid-colored fabrics in deep navy or forest green help anchor the room while letting the detailed painted motifs stand out.

Colour combinations

The wallpaper is built around a distinctive palette of classic tartan reds, deep pine greens, crisp cobalt blues, and soft porcelain whites. When choosing paint for adjoining walls or woodwork, a clean soft white offers a balanced, fresh contrast that lets the colors pop. Alternatively, pulling out the deep navy or an earthy hunter green for surrounding trim or wainscoting creates an enveloping, traditional look with significant depth.
