In December, we spend more time relaxing indoors than any other month of the year. With rain, fog, darkness, cold and time off work in the build up to Christmas, it’s no wonder! Bearing that in mind, it’s the perfect time to redecorate your home to create a cosy winter wonderland to chill and unwind in!

How you choose to decorate depends on your personal preferences, but we have a wide variety of wallpapers so that you can find the look of your dreams!

So if you’re looking to create an Instagrammable Christmas Winter Wonderland inside your home, then here are 5 tips and tricks to set you off!



1. Add a stag feature wall with wallpaper


Stags are historically associated with Christmas and winter time, and we frequently see stag ornaments and decorations dotted around at this time of year. This Catherine Lansfield wallpaper which features stags in a repeat pattern is the perfect wallpaper to emulate the stag theme.

To complete this Christmas look add:

  • A stag ornament on the walls
  • A log burning fireplace
  • A fluffy neutral rug
  • A brown leather sofa


2. Recreate a cosy log cabin in the woods using wood effect wallpaper


Wooden wallpaper is a clever way to create a cosy log cabin in the middle of the woods. If you think of any winter scene in your head, you probably picture wooden walls which create a warm, rustic vibe and a fire crackling away in the background.  Your feet are also up, and you have a nice hot drink in your hands. Using wood effect wallpaper is a quick and easy way to get that exact vibe just in time for Christmas!

Finish the look with...

  • A cosy fireplace
  • Warm blankets
  • A wooden coffee table
  • A soft fabric sofa


3. Try woodland animals wallpaper to create a home fit for a winter fairytale


If you've ever watched the Simpson's Movie, then you'll remember the scene when the family moves to Alaska and into a wooden cabin. Well in that scene, they are surrounded by adorable animated woodland animals, making it romantic, wintery and cosy before all the madness happens. Well, you can recreate that vibe by using woodland animals wallpaper, either as a feature wall (e.g., around your fireplace), or all over the room. The wallpaper also features various wild leaves, which could help to transform your room into  a cute and romantic Christmas film.

To complete the look, just add...

  • Wooden furniture to the room
  • White paint to the doors and skirtng boards
  • A white fluffy rug
  • A warm hot chocolate and netflix


4. Incorporate flecks of metallic onto dark coloured wallpaper


Metallic colours are on-trend this season, and for Christmas, they create a magical and luxurious feel. The wallpaper above includes a murmuration of starlings swooping among star constellations in a romantic design from the Saturday Night/Sunday Morning collection by Mini Moderns. The dark tones will make the room feel extra cosy and the silver highlights create that night-before-christmas excitement.

To complete the look, just add...

  • Long Chistmas candles
  • A bird ornament
  • A wooden coffee table
  • A grey fabic sofa


5. Try emerland green wallpaper


Emerald greens are also very on trend, as they create a classy vibe as well as a cosy feel. This wallpaper emulates traditional English patterns, as it is inspired by William Morris (see our Apelviken wallpaper blog for more info). A great option for a cosy Christmas feel.

Pair this wallpaper with:

  • Brown leather sofas
  • A warm fireplace
  • Candles
  • A fluffy rug
