Whether you're watching boxsets, unwrapping presents, or sleeping off the festive feasting on the couch, the living room is arguably the place you'll spend most of winter (especially when it comes to Christmas). And, the chances are that you'll be doing all of this in front of a roaring fire, so it makes sense to do up your fireplace in time for the weather turning. Here are some great ways for doing just that with our statement wallpaper.
feature this
A great way to bring your fireplace to life is by making the wall space above it a feature - and bright colours and bold graphics are the way forward. To tap into the AW16 trends, an earthy, rustic theme is the instant go-to, but why not also experiment with the season's other key colours of frosted blue and grey? Of course, you can also try keeping the fireplace plain and papering the other walls for a more modern look.

frame it
Put your wallpaper in the picture – literally – by turning it into a canvas. It’s an easy and effective way to create a focal point in your living space, and can be changed seasonally or when your décor needs a bit of a refresh. Experiment with the background wall colour and paper for different effects – a contrasting shade or print makes a statement, while sticking to similar colours keeps things clean and simple.

blend in
Why stick to just a feature wall? Papering your whole room in one print creates a dramatic look and really opens up the space. Alternatively, go for the art of subtlety and choose colours similar to your fireplace to watch it simply melt away when it's not in use.

shelve it
Adding shelves is the perfect solution to an unused fireplace space, or the cavity that having one removed will leave. Whether you alternate patterns between shelves for layers of interest, or go all-out with one unified, striking print, it ensures no space is wasted when it comes to decorating your home.
