Wallpaper - Holiday Traditions I Red

Our Holiday Traditions I Red wallpaper, created by Beth Grove, brings a classic festive narrative to the wall with vintage charm. The design features Santa Claus ready in his sleigh, dressed in traditional red and white, holding the reins of a reindeer adorned with a holiday wreath. Script lettering reading "Merry Christmas" and "dashing through the snow" winds between delicate red and white botanicals, green foliage, and bright red berries against a warm cherry red backdrop. Like all Wallism wallpapers, this design is custom made-to-measure and printed on PVC-free paper with a subtle paper structure.

In the room

We see this wallpaper working especially well as a focal point in a family living room or a cheerful playroom. Because the motif includes detailed illustration and script elements, giving it an uninterrupted wall allows the full holiday narrative and decorative details to be appreciated. In a living room, placing the design behind a main seating area or framing a focal wall brings immediate festive character into the room without overwhelming the rest of the layout. For a playroom, the whimsical storybook imagery adds warmth and seasonal charm that feels engaging for children and nostalgic for adults.

Styling it

To balance the detailed illustrative style and rich cherry red tones of this design, we would keep the surrounding furnishings relatively grounded. Painted woodwork or furniture in soft off-white or cream harmonises naturally with the script and white floral accents in the pattern. Natural wood pieces in warm, mid-toned finishes also sit comfortably alongside the vintage illustration style, keeping the overall atmosphere relaxed rather than overly formal.

Colour combinations

The wallpaper is defined by its warm cherry red base, complemented by crisp white script, deep green wreaths, and bright scarlet berries. When choosing colours for surrounding walls or woodwork, creamy whites and soft chalky neutrals provide a clean contrast that lets the red field stand out. For accents or adjacent spaces, muted forest greens or berry tones draw directly from the foliage within the illustration while keeping the palette cohesive.
