Wallpaper - Holiday Prepping III

Our Holiday Prepping III wallpaper brings a lively, celebratory spirit to your wall with an expressive fashion illustration by Mercedes Lopez Charro. Painted with a fluid watercolour look, the design centres on an energetic figure in a vibrant cherry red dress and matching heeled sandals, holding an oversized gift box decorated with crisp red and white stripes and a matching bow. Set against an open, clean white background, the bright red tones command immediate attention while retaining a light, artistic character. Made to measure on our PVC-free paper with a subtle surface texture, this design adds a playful focal point to your interior without overpowering the surrounding space.

In the room

Because the composition relies on strong visual contrast and open space around the main figure, we see this working particularly well as an accent wall in a dressing room or a vibrant guest room. Placing the design on an uninterrupted wall allows the tall silhouette of the illustrated figure and the bold scale of the striped gift box to be seen in their entirety. In a dressing room, positioning the wallpaper adjacent to an open wardrobe or vanity area creates an inspiring, upbeat backdrop for daily routines. In a guest room, it works nicely behind a low headboard or across the wall opposite the bed, introducing high visual energy without making the room feel crowded.

Styling it

To let the graphic personality of the illustration take centre stage, we suggest balancing the wall with clean-lined, contemporary furniture in neutral finishes.

• Choose sleek painted furniture in soft off-white or light grey to mirror the brightness of the background while letting the bold red shapes remain the clear focal point.
• Introduce polished chrome or gloss black accents through mirrors, lighting fixtures, or clothes rails to complement the crisp, modern fashion-editorial feel of the artwork.
• Keep surrounding bedding and upholstery simple and unpatterned, using smooth cottons or structured linens in quiet neutrals to avoid competing with the prominent red stripes.

Colour combinations

The palette in our design is defined by bold cherry red, bright candy red, and a crisp white base. When decorating around this motif, we like pairing it with fresh white or pale chalky grey paint on adjacent walls to maintain the crisp, luminous feel of the scene. For a more dynamic and eclectic look, you can incorporate deliberate touches of cherry red in small decorative accents, such as a lacquered tray, a bedside lamp base, or picture frames on opposing walls. Soft warm greys or muted stone tones also work well on woodwork to ground the vivid primary red without dulling its impact.
