Wallpaper - Forest Lanterns, Periwinkle

Our Forest Lanterns, Periwinkle wallpaper brings a quiet winter scene into the home, created by Paulina Vårregn. Densely clustered pine trees dusted in white rise against a soft periwinkle blue ground, filled with delicate ink-style drawing and subtle horizontal linework in the backdrop. Glowing lanterns and tiny warm specks float between the snowy branches, introducing a gentle touch of amber and gold that balances the cool blue tones. Produced as made-to-measure mural wallpapers on PVC-free paper with a subtle surface structure, this design brings a calm, storybook quality to living rooms, bedrooms, and nurseries.

In the room

We particularly like how the dense vertical rhythm of the snow-laden pines draws the eye upwards, making this wallpaper feel at home in rooms with standard or higher ceilings. In a bedroom, placing the motif on the wall behind the bed creates a peaceful, enveloping backdrop where the cool blue shades set a quiet mood. It works equally well across a feature wall in a living room, library, or reading corner, where the detailed linework of the trees can be appreciated up close. Because the repeating pattern is balanced and seamless, it can also wrap around multiple walls in a nursery, toddler room, or playroom to create an imaginative woodland retreat without overwhelming the space.

Styling it

To balance the cool periwinkle and soft blue tones of the wallpaper, we suggest bringing in warm, understated materials that reflect the gentle glow of the illustrated lanterns. Natural timber furniture in lighter or warmer wood tones pairs naturally with the forest theme, grounding the design while keeping the room feeling inviting.

For surrounding soft furnishings, we recommend textured woven blankets, wool cushions, or unbleached textiles in cream, oatmeal, and soft taupe. Simple furniture with clean silhouettes allows the fine details of the pine needles and lanterns to remain the focal point of the interior.

Colour combinations

The wallpaper's palette is built around cool periwinkle, powder blue, winter white, and subtle accents of amber, warm yellow, and soft orange from the glowing lanterns.

For adjacent walls, woodwork, and skirting, crisp whites or muted off-whites keep the overall look fresh and bright. If you prefer a more cohesive and cocooning atmosphere, choose a soft blue-grey or pale powder blue paint that echoes the undertones in the trees. Accents in warm honey, brass, or muted ochre draw out the lantern glow, creating a balanced dialogue between cool and warm elements across the room.
