5 Tricks To Create A Cosy Winter Wonderland Background

We spend more time relaxing indoors in December than in any other month. With rain, fog, darkness, cold and time off work leading up to Christmas, it’s no wonder! Bearing that in mind, it’s the perfect time to renovate your home to create a comfortable winter wonderland to chill and unwind in!

Your decorating choices depend on your personal preferences. We offer a wide selection of wallpapers to help you find your dream style!

Here are 5 tips and tricks to get you started to create an Instagrammable Christmas Winter Wonderland inside your house!

Add a stag feature wall with wallpaper.

Due to their historical associations with Christmas and the winter season, stags are a common sight around this time of year in ornaments and decorations. The ideal wallpaper to mimic the stag motif is this one by Catherine Lansfield, which has stags in a repeating pattern.

To finish off this festive appearance, add:

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

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

A cozy log cabin in the middle of the woods can be created with the help of wooden wallpaper. When you imagine any winter scenario, you most likely see wooden walls that give off a cozy, rustic feeling and a fire roaring in the distance. You hold a wonderful hot drink in your hands, and your feet are also up. Just in time for Christmas, you can easily achieve that same vibe with wood-effect wallpaper!

Complete the ensemble with...

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

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

The sequence in which the family moves into a wooden cabin in Alaska is probably familiar to everyone who has seen The Simpsons movie. That moment, though, is romantic, wintry, and cozy before all the chaos occurs since cute, lively woodland animals surround them.

Decorating with wallpaper that has woodland creatures can make a room feel cozy. You can use this wallpaper on the main wall, like the one near your fireplace.

You can also use it throughout the room. This will help create a warm and inviting atmosphere. Additionally, the wallpaper has a variety of natural leaves that help turn your space into a charming and romantic scene from a Christmas movie.

To finish the appearance, add...

• Wooden furniture in the room
• White paint to the doors and skirting boards
• A white fluffy rug
• A warm hot chocolate and Netflix

Incorporate flecks of metallic onto dark-coloured wallpaper.

This season's hottest colour is metallic, which gives off an opulent, magical vibe for Christmas. The wallpaper is a beautiful design from Mini Moderns' Saturday Night/Sunday Morning collection. It shows starlings flying among star constellations. The room will feel especially cozy thanks to the dark colours, and the silver accents will add to the thrill of the night before Christmas.

To finish the appearance, add...

• Long Christmas candles
• A bird ornament
• A wooden coffee table
• A grey fabric sofa

Try emerald green wallpaper

Emerald greens are also highly fashionable since they give off a cozy yet elegant air. Inspired by William Morris, this wallpaper imitates classic English designs (for more information, visit our Apelviken wallpaper blog). It's a terrific way to create a cozy Christmas atmosphere.

Combine this wallpaper with:

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