Wallpaper - Holiday Wings V Dark

Our Holiday Wings V Dark wallpaper presents painted red birds perched among festive foliage, delicate berries, seasonal florals, and holiday stockings set against a deep, dark ground. Designed by Daphne Brissonnet, the artwork carries a classic oil-paint character, pairing rich seasonal motifs with high tonal contrast that lets each illustrated detail stand out clearly. The traditional composition brings a warm, heritage feel to the wall, balancing the vibrant red notes with deep, grounded tones. Like all of our wallpapers, it is custom made-to-measure, PVC-free, and printed on paper with a subtle physical surface structure that is straightforward to hang.

In the room

We see this wallpaper working especially well in a dining room, living room, or home library where its darker base and rich subject matter create an intimate, welcoming setting. In a dining space, placing the design on a prominent wall behind the table anchors the room and gives dinner gatherings a warm, atmospheric backdrop.

The high-contrast palette also makes it a great choice for smaller transitional spaces like a hallway, powder room, or entryway, where a full wrap can transform a compact area into a characterful passage. In a bedroom or guest room, we would often place it behind the headboard as a feature wall, letting the deep backdrop frame the bed while keeping the overall atmosphere cosy and grounded.

Styling it

To complement the traditional character of the artwork, we would look to classic furniture and heritage-inspired interior styles such as cottage, farmhouse, or colonial decor.

Darker wood furniture, like walnut or antique mahogany, sits naturally against the deep background, reinforcing the piece's classical weight. If you prefer a lighter touch, painted cabinetry in an off-white or muted cream provides a clean contrast that picks up on the lighter details in the illustration. We would keep large textiles relatively simple in tone to let the pattern carry the visual interest, choosing unpatterned upholstery in warm neutrals or deep forest tones.

Colour combinations

The motif centres on vibrant red tones, botanical greens, and softer decorative highlights set against a deep, dark base.

When choosing paint for adjoining walls or woodwork, pairing this design with deep green, warm charcoal, or muted cranberry reinforces its moody, immersive quality. For a brighter, more classic contrast, warm whites, soft creams, or understated pale greys on surrounding trim and doors help define the wall while drawing attention to the fine details within the artwork.
