Wallpaper - Winter Village Folk

Created in collaboration with artist Katrina Pete, this folk art wallpaper design captures a quiet winter moment in a snow-covered village setting. A bright red cottage nestles among snow-dusted pine trees, while gentle figures make their way along a wooden fence against a soft mountain backdrop. The watercolour-like appearance and open snowy foreground give the scene a gentle, storybook charm that brings warmth and nostalgia to an interior wall. Our made-to-measure mural wallpapers are printed on PVC-free paper with a subtle surface structure, making them straightforward to hang in any room.

In the room

We see this wallpaper working beautifully as a feature wall in a children's bedroom, nursery, or playroom, where the narrative illustration can spark the imagination. Because the lower half of the design features an expansive snowy field, you can easily position lower furniture such as a child's bed, a cot, or a low sideboard against the wall without obstructing the central cottage and woodland scenery.

In a living room, guest room, or dining room, the design creates an inviting focal point behind a seating area. The generous pale space across the bottom keeps the overall pattern feeling open and light, so the room remains calm rather than visually cluttered. It is also a charming option for a cosy cottage hallway or home office where you want to introduce an illustrative, seasonal warmth.

Styling it

To complement the folk art aesthetic, we suggest pairing this wallpaper with simple painted furniture or warm, natural wood finishes that reflect the rural landscape. Keeping the surrounding decorative items unfussy lets the hand-painted character of the design stand out.

Natural woven textiles, such as a woollen throw or simple linen curtains in muted, neutral tones, sit comfortably alongside the soft watercolour wash. You can also introduce small decorative accents that echo the cottage's rustic feel, such as ceramic tableware, understated iron hardware, or warm table lamps that softly illuminate the painted details in the evening.

Colour combinations

The palette in our wallpaper centres on crisp snow whites, muted spruce greens, soft lavender-grey hills, and the distinct brick red of the cottage.

For adjacent walls and woodwork, soft off-whites, chalky creams, or gentle misty greys pick up the winter landscape without competing with it. If you want to draw out the deeper tones of the woodland, a muted forest green or mossy sage on skirting boards or cabinetry provides an elegant frame. For smaller accents or cushions, touches of deep cranberry or rust red will naturally tie back to the little red house.
