Wallpaper - Bright Tidings III

Our Bright Tidings III wallpaper, designed by Laura Marshall, brings a cheerful holiday celebration to the wall with retro charm and playful graphic shapes. Centred around the hand-lettered greeting "Have A Holly Jolly Christmas", the composition features an array of mid-century inspired festive motifs, including vintage baubles, wrapped gifts, candy canes, holly berries, and pine sprigs scattered over a warm cream grid backdrop. Rich shades of persimmon orange, teal, blush pink, and sunny yellow create a vibrant folk art feel that instantly enlivens any wall. Like all our mural wallpapers, this design is custom made-to-measure on PVC-free paper with a subtle surface texture.

In the room

We see this design working especially well in spaces dedicated to fun and family gatherings, such as a children's bedroom, a playroom, or a creative nursery. Because the central typography and surrounding festive illustrations create a strong, joyful focal point, we recommend placing it on a primary feature wall where the entire motif can be viewed without heavy interruption. In a toddler room or playroom, installing it behind low toy storage, a craft table, or a reading nook lets the lively characters and bright details stay fully visible while setting an inviting, spirited backdrop throughout the season.

Styling it

To let the expressive lettering and colourful holiday illustrations lead the space, we suggest keeping larger surrounding furniture clean-lined and understated. Mid-century silhouettes in light natural timber or simple painted white finishes balance the vintage illustrative style nicely without competing for attention.

Soft furnishings can pick up on the lighter elements within the pattern, such as plain cotton cushions, woven storage baskets, and solid-coloured rugs in neutral oatmeal or soft cream. For a festive touch that complements the wall rather than clutters it, accent the room with simple paper decorations or wooden toys that echo the mid-century aesthetic of the artwork.

Colour combinations

The wallpaper palette mixes lively accent tones with balanced holiday greenery over a pale cream ground. Bold persimmon orange, bright marigold yellow, periwinkle blue, and soft candy pink provide vibrant pops of colour, anchored by teal, spruce green, and classic holly green.

When decorating the surrounding space, we recommend pulling out the warmer neutral tones of the cream background for adjacent walls and skirting boards to maintain an open, cohesive atmosphere. If you want to introduce more colour through painted furniture, shelving, or textiles, soft muted teal, dusty pink, or warm terracotta offer wonderful harmony while letting the print remain the main feature.
