Wallpaper - Home for the Holidays II

Our Home for the Holidays II wallpaper brings a classic, storybook winter scene into the home, designed by David Carter Brown. The motif centres on an inviting holiday porch with a bright red door, dressed in a lush green wreath and red bow, flanked by potted evergreen trees and candy cane-striped porch pillars entwined with festive garlands. A black and white cat rests quietly on the front steps beside a wicker basket, snow shovel, and vintage red sled, set against warm yellow siding and dark green shutters. What we particularly appreciate about this mural wallpaper is its traditional Americana illustration style, full of narrative detail that feels welcoming and nostalgic. Like all Wallism wallpapers, this design is made to measure to fit your exact wall dimensions and is entirely PVC-free with a subtle paper texture.

In the room

Because of its pictorial depth and architectural composition, we see this wall mural working especially well on an accent wall in an entryway or hallway. Placing it opposite a doorway or along an entrance hall creates an immediate sense of arrival, welcoming guests with an illustrative winter scene that draws the eye inward.

In a living room, we would give this wallpaper a wide, relatively uninterrupted wall, perhaps behind a sofa or along the main sitting area. The central perspective of the doorway and steps naturally anchors the space, making it a wonderful seasonal focal point. Because the artwork contains so many distinct elements, keeping tall furniture away from the centre allows the full porch scene, cat, and snowy steps to remain visible.

Styling it

The rich narrative quality of this design pairs naturally with traditional and rustic decorating approaches. To keep the focus on the illustration, we suggest styling the surrounding space with considered pieces that reflect its timeless character:

• We would balance the illustrative detail of the wallpaper with classic dark or mid-tone wood furniture, such as an entryway bench, console table, or side cabinet with understated lines.
• Natural textures like braided jute rugs, woven storage baskets, and unpatterned wool or cotton throws help echo the rustic details inside the artwork without competing for visual attention.
• Subtle brass, antique bronze, or matte black hardware on nearby lighting and mirrors complements the traditional architectural elements of the porch setting.

Colour combinations

The palette in our wallpaper centres on festive cherry red, deep forest greens, warm sunny yellow, and crisp snow white, grounded by dark trim and neutral step tones.

When choosing colours for surrounding walls and woodwork, we recommend pulling from the softer, neutral tones of the scene. A warm off-white, creamy ivory, or soft buttery yellow on adjacent walls lets the rich reds and greens of the mural take centre stage without feeling stark. For a bolder, heritage feel in a cosy living room or hallway, pairing the wallpaper with dark forest green or deep pine paintwork on skirting boards, architraves, or wainscoting frames the scene beautifully.
