Wallpaper - Skating in London

Our Skating in London wallpaper by Caroline Bonne Müller captures a cheerful winter ice skating scene framed by festive market stalls and a decorated Christmas tree. The whimsical illustration shows skaters gliding across the rink in colourful winter coats beneath strings of glowing lights and gently drifting snowflakes. With a palette built around deep green tones alongside bright, popping accents, the composition brings a nostalgic and lively character to the wall. Like all Wallism wallpapers, this design is made-to-measure to fit your wall dimensions, printed on PVC-free paper with a subtle surface texture.

In the room

We see this design working particularly well in a children's bedroom or playroom, where the narrative detail and playful figures give the room a joyful focus. Because the illustration contains so many small vignettes, we would place it on a relatively open wall where the full market scene and ice rink can be seen without being cut off by tall furniture. In a family room or open dining space used for seasonal gatherings, it works comfortably as an accent wall that immediately sets an inviting holiday atmosphere.

Styling it

• Let the wallpaper act as the primary visual focus by choosing simple furniture with painted finishes or warm wood tones that complement the illustration style.
• Balance the active scene with low-pattern textiles, such as a plain wool rug or unpatterned curtains, to give the eye a quiet surface against the rich motif.
• Pick out the warm lighting accents in the print with soft ambient table lamps to highlight the cosy winter mood in the evening.

Colour combinations

Our design combines evergreen tones from the Christmas tree and architectural details with pops of bright red, yellow, and blue from the skaters' clothing and stalls. To style around it, we recommend pulling out the deeper forest greens on adjacent woodwork or trim for an enveloping feel. If you prefer a lighter look, neutral off-white or soft warm grey walls allow the colourful elements in the mural wallpapers to stand out clearly without competing.
