If shiny foil garlands and blow-up Santas cramp your style, then the neutral Christmas décor trend is for you. Think pared-back color palettes, tasteful colour coordination, and classy interior styling.
This is Christmas, but completely elevated – and it’s the perfect way to decorate communal areas, like your living room or dining room. To create a gorgeous, cozy space that celebrates all things festive, you first need the perfect wintry backdrop. As most of our mural designs are available as removable peel-and-stick murals, you can remove the wallpaper at any point.
However, some of these murals are so beautiful that they’ll look just as wonderful all year round. Here are some of our favorite neutral Christmas murals to transform your home for the holiday season…
Winter Woodland Wall Mural
White Woodland Days wall mural
This elegant White Woodland Days wallpaper is super versatile and can look great in living or dining spaces, bedrooms and hallways. It’s clean, minimalist, and neutral, adding interest and intrigue to any space.
The toned-down design ensures your room has depth and dimension, preventing it from looking flat or dull. But it’s low-key enough to be used across multiple walls, not just a feature wall. This type of mural looks even more beautiful with good lighting, so consider positioning carefully and always invest in good light fixtures.
We think it’s a match made in heaven for organic design themes and neutral Christmas décor, so if your home is full of gorgeous wood furnishings, wicker and rattan, this mural is a must-have in winter.
Black and White New York Wallpaper
Central Park Covered in Snow wall mural
Nothing says Christmas like New York! Not only does the city have a bustling vibe at this time of year, but it’s a famous filming location for so many festive movies! This Central Park Covered in Snow wall mural features one of the park’s most recognised paths, the Central Park Mall.
The Mall and Literary Walk runs through the middle of the park from 66th Street to 72nd Street and was originally designed to accommodate the width of carriages passing through. Today, it’s a much-loved tourist attraction, with extra special winter views as the trees lose their leaves and become snow-covered.
A mural like this is excellent for opening up a small space, and the black and white aesthetic helps to create a monochromatic look. It’s the perfect backdrop for a Christmas tree and makes an ideal feature wall.
Nordic Mural for Neutral Christmas Décor
Animal Winter Wonderland wall mural
If you love minimalist home design, decorating for Christmas can be a selective process. Minimalism in the interior world is all about quality, not quantity. So choosing perfect stylish pieces that elevate your home is the key.
Light-up snowmen or singing reindeer are probably not going to make the cut. Instead, you’ll want a Nordic-style wallpaper that screams modern sophistication, and wooden decorations and tasteful candle holders will be your go-to for interior shopping.
A few core colors will help you achieve a tonal design. Muted blues, gentle browns and grays all work well. Or, for light and airy neutrals, you cannot go wrong with cream, beige and off-white hues.
William Morris said, “Have nothing in your house that you do not know to be useful, or believe to be beautiful.” We think this should definitely apply at Christmas. Don’t buy something just because it’s festive. Buy it because it looks right in your home and will be loved forever.
Winter Wallpaper with Snow-Covered Trees
We love the snow-covered trees in this wallpaper. The low angle adds height to your ceiling while bringing a new dimension of drama to your home. It also makes the trees look imposing in a living or dining space, meaning this mural will not disappoint if you want to create a feature wall.
The muted white/gray and brown color palette creates the perfect canvas for neutral furnishings, making creams and whites pop like never before. If you’re decorating a Christmas tree this year, follow the same tonal hues and stick to white, gray, gold and natural decorations.
Another reason to invest in forest and woodland wall coverings is because they don’t just look good at Christmas time. They can look fabulous all year round, helping to open up your space with the illusion of the outdoors.
Gold/Silver Snowflake Print Mural
Gold and silver don’t often go together in interior design, but at Christmastime, they are the perfect duo. Adding metallics in the home can bring a whole new dimension to any space, and when used correctly, they can brighten up a dull room and create the illusion of more light.
With this snowflake-print mural, you can style a whole range of neutral Christmas décor with splashes of silver and gold. We think shiny metallic design elements contrast nicely with white furnishings, as well as natural wood – giving you plenty of colors, materials and textures to play with.
Snowy Landscape Wallpaper
If you love an all-white interior, opt for a snow-covered landscape that will give you the ultimate escapism whenever you feel stressed. There’s something incredibly soothing about a snow scene. Whether it’s the coolness, the calmness, or just the magic of snow, staring at a mural like this is sure to lift your mood.
This is not the sort of wallpaper you’ll want to tear down after the festive season, either. With nature, the outdoors and wellness spaces being key trends in 2025, we see this mural being enjoyed all year round.
Minimalist Winter Forest Mural
Sketch Effect Forest wall mural
At Wallsauce, we have a vast selection of forest and tree murals depicting every season, but there’s something about the winter woodland scenes that we can’t get enough of. Black and white forest murals are even more appealing for neutral Christmas décor fans because they give you a blank canvas to work with.
With black and white photography or illustrations, you can combine neutral furnishings with a few pops of color – perfect for the festive season, when bright red and green are often celebrated.
Don’t forget that our murals are available as peel and stick versions, meaning they can be easily removed from your walls without creating any damage – so they’re perfect for rented homes too!
