Wallpaper - Victorian Christmas

Our Victorian Christmas wallpaper brings a classic, painterly festive scene into the home, designed in collaboration with artist Julia Purinton. The composition centres on a full, richly dressed pine tree adorned with glowing baubles, ribbons, and a golden eight-pointed star at the top, resting on an ornate tree skirt. Beside it, a softly lit parlour setting unfolds with a cream-toned armchair, a classic fireplace mantel topped with seasonal greenery, and warm candlelight. Rendered with the visual character of traditional oil painting, the design balances deep forest greens with warm reds, burnished gold, and gentle cream tones. Custom made to measure and printed on PVC-free paper with a subtle physical structure, this design offers an inviting, nostalgic atmosphere for the holiday season.

In the room

We see this design working beautifully on a main feature wall in a living room, where the painterly scene can set an inviting, traditional mood. Because the artwork depicts a complete interior vignette with distinct vertical elements, giving it an uninterrupted wall space allows the full scale of the tree, the candle sconce, and the mantelpiece to sit naturally within the room. In rooms with warm evening lighting, the painted candle glow and golden highlights in the tree ornaments take on a particularly cosy presence.

Styling it

To complement the traditional, painted quality of this wallpaper, we suggest keeping surrounding furniture grounded and timeless:

• Choose dark wood furniture, such as mahogany or walnut side tables, to echo the classic Victorian parlour aesthetic present in the artwork.
• Introduce soft velvet or brushed cotton upholstery in deep garnet, forest green, or warm ivory to mirror the rich tones of the tree decorations and armchair.
• Add warm brass or antique gold accents through floor lamps, picture frames, or mantelware to complement the painted sconces and golden tree star.

Colour combinations

The wallpaper is anchored by a palette of rich forest green, festive crimson, aged gold, and soft cream, supported by warm neutral background tones. When decorating the rest of the space, we recommend pairing this design with complementary warm white or soft cream on adjacent walls and woodwork. For a richer, more enveloping feel, drawing out the deep green from the pine foliage or a muted burgundy for surrounding textiles and trims creates a cohesive, heritage-inspired scheme.
