Wallpaper - Holiday Prepping I

Our Holiday Prepping I wallpaper, created by Mercedes Lopez Charro, brings a festive painted illustration to your walls with an open, airy composition. Set against a crisp, brilliant white background, the scene depicts three women in flowing red dresses walking together in delicate strappy heels, each carrying seasonal treasures. One balances a stack of patterned gifts in shades of red, pink, and gold; another carries a bold red-and-white striped parcel finished with a large bow; and the third holds a green Christmas tree tied with red ribbon. With its fluid brushstrokes, painterly character, and gentle rhythm, this wallpaper captures the anticipation of holiday celebrations while keeping the overall wall bright and uncluttered. Like all Wallism wall murals, it is made-to-measure on PVC-free paper with a subtle physical surface structure.

In the room

Because the motif relies on generous negative space around the figures, we see this working particularly well across a wider, uninterrupted wall where the full painted scene has space to breathe. In a living room, placing the design behind a low sofa or along a main focal wall allows the red dresses and festive details to draw the eye without competing with tall furniture.

In a bedroom, we like using this design on the wall behind the headboard or along an open side wall, where the clean white ground keeps the room feeling calm and tranquil. The combination of vivid red accents and a clean backdrop also makes it an engaging choice for a dining room setting, bringing seasonal cheer to gatherings while maintaining an elegant, artistic atmosphere.

Styling it

To balance the vibrant red tones and painted style of the artwork, we would keep the surrounding interior elements grounded and natural. Warm wood furniture, such as light oak or warm-toned timber, complements the warm reds and gold details in the wrapped gifts without overpowering the light background.

For soft furnishings, textured textiles in muted cream, warm white, or soft blush pick up on the subtle pink tones in the presents and help tie the room together. Keeping adjacent decor relatively quiet and sculptural lets the character of the mural wallpapers remain the central visual feature.

Colour combinations

Our wallpaper centres on a brilliant white base paired with rich, festive red, fresh pine green, and subtle accents of gold and pink.

When decorating around it, we suggest pairing the wall with soft, warm whites or muted ivory on surrounding painted walls and woodwork to maintain the design's bright, open feel. For deeper contrast, rich forest green accents or warm berry tones in cushions or upholstery echo the festive palette of the tree and dresses. Soft neutral greys and gentle warm beige also work comfortably alongside the clean white background.
