Decorating for Christmas can be tricky when you're working with narrow walls, empty alcoves or small entryways. The right wall art can help make these overlooked spaces feel complete without taking up valuable floor space.
Make the Most of Narrow Walls
Narrow walls can be difficult to decorate, but tall, vertical artwork makes use of the available height without overwhelming the space. Moody forest landscapes and woodland scenes are particularly suited to the winter months, with deeper greens, muted tones and atmospheric details that create a cosy, inviting feel. They complement the colours and textures of Christmas decor while remaining timeless enough to enjoy throughout the year.
Explore our forest and tree wall art collection for artwork that brings a natural, atmospheric feel to your home. If you're unsure which orientation works best, our guide to horizontal vs vertical wall art can help you decide.
Give Alcoves and Entryways a Focal Point
Empty alcoves and narrow entryways can feel unfinished, particularly when there's little room for additional furniture or decorations. Artwork is an easy way to introduce colour and character without cluttering the space. Choose a canvas that fits the proportions of your wall, whether that's a tall piece in a narrow hallway or a wider design above a console table.
For narrow hallways and awkward spaces, explore our long wall decor collection, featuring extra-narrow artwork designed for hard-to-style walls. If you have a little more width to work with, our narrow wall art collection includes wider, 2:1 designs that can help fill the space.
Style the Wall Above Your Fireplace
The fireplace often becomes the focal point of a living room at Christmas. Artwork above the mantel can help bring the room together, but choosing the right size is important. Consider the width of your fireplace and the available wall space to create a balanced arrangement.
For more advice, read our guide to choosing the right art above a fireplace.
Choose Artwork That Lasts Beyond Christmas
The best artwork isn't limited to one season. Forest scenes, botanical designs and nature pieces can complement your Christmas decor while remaining part of your home throughout the year. For awkward spaces, our long and narrow wall art collection features some of our bestsellers, designed for walls that are difficult to decorate.
