Wallpaper - Skating in London

Our Skating in London wallpaper by Caroline Bonne Müller captures a whimsical winter scene filled with festive detail and movement. At the center, skaters glide across an open ice rink surrounded by glowing holiday market stalls, charming city architecture, and a grand, decorated Christmas tree. Gentle snowflakes drift across the composition, while vibrant coats, hats, and market accents create an energetic visual rhythm against soft winter backdrops. Printed made-to-measure on PVC-free paper with a subtle physical structure, this design brings narrative charm and playful character to any wall.

In the room

Because of the story-driven illustration style and rich visual detail, we see this working particularly well in a dedicated playroom or family space. The composition has plenty of small vignettes to discover, from individual skaters on the ice to the warm light spilling from market stalls, which makes it engaging on a wall that can be viewed up close.

In a playroom, we would place this design along an open accent wall where lower storage or low benches allow most of the rink and figures to remain visible. Wall murals with this level of detailed storytelling give a room an inviting focal point without overwhelming the entire space when used thoughtfully on a single main wall.

Styling it

To let the detailed narrative of the wallpaper stand out, we suggest pairing it with clean, simple furniture shapes.

• Choose painted furniture in muted off-white, warm cream, or soft sage green to pick up on the holiday greenery without competing with the lively figures.
• Incorporate light, warm wood finishes for shelving, small tables, or toy storage to enhance the cozy, welcoming feel of the illustrated market scene.
• Keep surrounding textiles fairly quiet, using solid weaves or subtle textures rather than competing pictorial patterns.

Color combinations

The palette in this wallpaper is built on deep green tones in the central Christmas tree and surrounding market greenery, punctuated by lively pops of red, yellow, and blue across the skaters' clothing and illuminated stalls.

When choosing colors for adjoining walls, trim, or larger cabinetry, soft warm whites and gentle stone tones provide a balanced foundation. If you want to draw out the deeper hues in the design, a muted evergreen or a warm mustard yellow works well for accent pieces, painted woodwork, or decorative details.
