Wallpaper - Winter Joy IV

Designed by Cheryl Warrick, our Winter Joy IV wallpaper brings playful festive typography and collage-style patterns to life against a deep, textured dark backdrop. The hand-lettered phrase "Merry and Bright" anchors the graphic composition, with each character filled with distinct patterns and hues, from cherry red and rose pink to olive, mint, and ochre. Small illustrated snowflakes and a line-drawn tree accent the bold lettering, adding a charming, celebratory feel. Printed to order as a made-to-measure, PVC-free wall mural, this design features a subtle structure in the paper that gives depth to its rich, dark surface.

In the room

Because of its strong graphic identity and central text layout, we see this mural wallpaper working particularly well as a focal point. In an entryway or hallway, it sets an immediate festive and welcoming tone. It also suits a playful living room corner, a family dining area, or a children's bedroom where graphic, illustrative art is right at home.

The large typography benefits from an uninterrupted wall where the full phrase can be appreciated at eye level. Giving the wall enough breathing room from tall wardrobes or towering storage keeps the vibrant lettering central to the room's layout.

Styling it

We suggest balancing the bold lettering and varied patterns of the wallpaper with clean-lined, unfussy furniture. Mid-century silhouettes or contemporary painted pieces in soft off-whites and muted neutrals allow the colourful letters to stand out without visual clutter.

To echo the graphic charm of the design, consider introducing simple textiles in solid shades rather than competing prints. A warm wool throw, smooth matte ceramics, or warm wooden surfaces can ground the dark background and highlight the cosy, handcrafted quality of the artwork.

Colour combinations

The design uses a rich palette anchored by a deep dark green or charcoal background, contrasted with bright festive tones: bold red, blush pink, olive, mint green, and warm ochre, highlighted with crisp white linework.

When choosing paint colours for surrounding walls and woodwork, a complementary dark forest green or deep slate can create an immersive, wrap-around atmosphere. If you prefer higher contrast, creamy off-whites, warm biscuit tones, or soft sage greens on adjacent surfaces will let the playful lettering pop cleanly while maintaining a harmonious palette.
