Wallpaper - Holiday Traditions I Red

Our Holiday Traditions I Red wallpaper, created by artist Beth Grove, brings a nostalgic holiday scene to life with vintage-inspired charm. Santa Claus sits in his classic red suit holding the reins of a decorated reindeer, while the cheerful phrase "Merry Christmas" accents the sleigh and "dashing through the snow" flows across the background in delicate script. Floral details, berry accents, and warm cherry red tones give the watercolor-style illustration a lively, festive character. Like all our wall murals, this design is made-to-measure to your exact wall dimensions on PVC-free paper with a subtle surface structure.

In the room

Because this mural wallpaper tells a distinct seasonal story with prominent figurative elements and script, we love seeing it on a main feature wall where the entire scene can unfold without interruption. In a family living room, placing the design behind a low-backed sofa or along a wide open wall gives Santa and the reindeer room to breathe. In a playroom, the whimsical details and warm red palette create a playful, festive backdrop that instantly defines the space for the holidays. If the room has smaller, fragmented walls broken up by tall shelving or doorways, we suggest dedicating one clear surface to the wallpaper rather than wrapping the whole room, so the illustrated composition remains intact.

Styling it

The rich cherry red and classic holiday motif naturally set a traditional, celebratory tone. To balance the vibrant palette, we recommend pairing the wallpaper with furniture in warm wood tones, such as natural pine, warm oak, or painted white pieces that echo the crisp white trim of Santa's suit.

Keeping surrounding fabrics and accessories relatively simple helps the detailed illustration stand out. Smooth cottons, cozy wool knits, and simple greenery wreaths or garlands complement the vintage country style without competing with the floral and script elements in the artwork.

Color combinations

The design is built around a warm palette of cherry red, crisp white, soft greenery tones, and gentle earthy neutrals within the reindeer and sleigh.

When choosing paint colors for adjacent walls or trim, warm off-white and soft cream create a clean, classic frame that lets the red pop. For a richer, more traditional look, deep forest green or muted sage on baseboards and window frames beautifully echoes the festive wreath and foliage in the motif. If you prefer to stay within warm tones, soft oatmeal or gentle biscuit shades on adjoining surfaces keep the overall room feeling cozy and cohesive.
