Wallpaper - Nordic Winter III

Designed by Katrina Pete, our Nordic Winter III wallpaper brings together two gentle grey birds face to face within a symmetrical wreath of evergreen boughs, pinecones, and red berries. Set against a deep brick red backdrop enriched with faint, tone-on-tone botanical silhouettes and pale blue floral accents, the motif carries a soft watercolour-inspired look with a distinctly Scandinavian winter character. Produced as a made-to-measure mural on PVC-free paper with a subtle surface structure, it offers a warm, welcoming presence that is straightforward to hang in any home.

In the room

We see this design working especially well in spaces where you want to foster an intimate, festive, or seasonal atmosphere. In a dining room, placing the mural on the main wall behind the dining table anchors the room and creates a charming focal point during shared meals and celebrations. In a bedroom, it serves beautifully on a feature wall behind the headboard, where the balanced symmetry of the birds and wreath lends a calm, restful order.

For living rooms or a cosy cabin retreat, the rich red tone provides an enveloping backdrop across a primary accent wall. Because the central bird medallion is clearly defined, we recommend giving the wallpaper a relatively uninterrupted wall space so the symmetry and delicate foliage can be appreciated without being broken up by tall cabinets or oversized furniture.

Styling it

When styling around this wallpaper, we like to keep surrounding elements grounded and tactile to complement the folk-art aesthetic:

• Pair the deep red backdrop with natural warm wood furniture, such as pine, light ash, or mid-toned oak, which echoes the rustic woodland theme without competing for attention.
• Introduce soft textiles in unbleached linen, cream wool, or chunky knit throws to enhance the cosy, winter-inspired mood of the room.
• Add understated ceramic accents and muted pewter or soft brass details that catch the ambient light and harmonize with the vintage Nordic character of the illustration.

Colour combinations

The palette within the wallpaper centres around deep brick red, complemented by soft silvery grey, pine green, berry red, warm pinecone brown, and pale ice blue. When decorating the surrounding space, we suggest picking up on these tones rather than introducing completely contrasting brights.

A muted off-white, chalky linen, or soft cream on adjacent walls and trim allows the red backdrop to stand out cleanly without feeling harsh. If you prefer deeper colour continuations, a soft sage green or a heritage slate grey on painted woodwork or cabinetry balances the warmth of the red ground while picking out the subtle shades of the greenery and birds.
