Create a warm welcome……
We adore this wallpaper, which would make a great backdrop for Christmas decoration – the colour combination of vibrant pinks and greens makes the picturesque pattern detail pop.
Dark wallpapers are ideally suited to dining areas as they create atmsophere and sophistication and look gorgeous in evening candle and lamplight. Beautifully paired with velvet and gold detailed furniture, this becomes an enticing space.
Pomegranate by Rifle Paper Co.
In Greece, during Christmastime, pomegranates are placed to decorate doorways, homes and shop windows. Before midnight, to symbolise the passing of the old year, lights in the houses are turned off whilst families gather outside and at midnight, a pomegranate is thrown on the doorstep. More seeds spilt on the floor means the luckier the family will be in the New Year!
This contemporary wallpaper design exudes a warmth with its soft gold, glowing lines. Team with heavily textured fabrics in plain colours for window treatments, pillows, or rugs and illuminate with mellow lamplight.
There is something dream-like about these magical unicorns, making this design a captivating choice for bedrooms. We would love to string fairy lights across this to add Seasonal sparkle to the scene.
