Wallpaper - Holiday Prepping III

Our Holiday Prepping III wallpaper brings a cheerful, festive energy to the wall through a vibrant watercolour-style illustration by Mercedes Lopez Charro. The composition features a stylish figure in a flowing cherry red dress and strappy sandals holding an oversized gift box, finished in bold candy-cane red and white vertical stripes with a generous matching bow. Set against a clean, open white background, the bright red tones pop with spirited, graphic clarity. Made to measure on our PVC-free paper with a subtle surface structure, our wall murals are designed to be straightforward to hang while adding a playful, fashion-forward statement to your interior.

In the room

We see this wallpaper working particularly well as an expressive feature wall in a dressing room or a vibrant guest room. Because the motif relies on strong visual contrast between the vivid red illustration and the quiet white backdrop, it benefits from a wall that has enough open space for the full figure and oversized gift box to be seen clearly. In a dressing room, placing the design on an accent wall behind a low vanity or alongside an open wardrobe creates an upbeat, boutique atmosphere. In a guest room, positioning the mural wallpapers behind a bedhead or along an entryway wall gives the space an immediate sense of warmth and festive charm that feels welcoming throughout the entire year.

Styling it

The graphic quality and playful spirit of this design make it a natural fit for contemporary and eclectic interior styles. We would lean into its crisp contrast by pairing it with simple, modern furniture silhouettes rather than heavily ornate pieces, allowing the cheerful illustration to remain the primary focal point of the room.

To complement the design's energetic character, we would introduce tailored painted furniture in off-white or soft warm grey, along with subtle cherry red or candy-striped decorative accents such as cushions or small ceramic dishes to echo the motif. Keeping surrounding finishes clean and uncluttered helps maintain the breezy, whimsical mood of the artwork.

Colour combinations

The core palette of our wallpaper centres on striking cherry red alongside pure white, creating a crisp, high-contrast visual balance. When considering the surrounding room, we would look at:

Crisp chalky whites and soft creams for adjacent painted walls and woodwork, which allow the clean background of the mural to blend smoothly into the surrounding architecture.

Deep rich reds or subtle burgundy accents in smaller decorative accessories, which pick up on the depth of the dress and gift box without overwhelming the space.

Muted warm neutrals, such as pale linen tones or soft pebble greys, to ground the room and provide a gentle, understated backdrop for the vibrant red tones.
