Gift Wrapping - Using Wallpaper

Sustainable & Luxurious: Christmas Gift Wrapping with Wallpaper

This holiday season, why not wrap your presents in a way that’s not only beautiful but sustainable too? Using wallpaper samples to gift wrap is an elegant, eco-conscious alternative to traditional wrapping paper, and it’s an easy way to add a personal, luxurious touch. High-end wallpaper brands like House of Hackney offer gorgeous samples for just £3 in sizes perfect for wrapping small to medium gifts (29.7cm x 42cm).

The beauty of wallpaper wrapping lies in the endless design possibilities. You could choose varying colourways of the same pattern to create a cohesive yet dynamic look, or curate a stunning palette of with different patterns to achieve a more eclectic, bespoke presentation. The intricate designs and textures of luxury wallpaper elevate the whole experience—turning even the simplest gift into a visual masterpiece.

If you have remnants of previously used wallpaper lying around, even better! Repurposing wallpaper you already own adds a layer of sentimentality and sustainability to your gifts. Each piece of wallpaper becomes a unique canvas, adding that personal touch and a story to your gift.

To complete this elegant presentation, tie the gift with a lush, wide silk velvet bow. The soft, rich texture of the ribbon complements the wallpaper’s pattern, creating a tactile experience that will truly impress. The combination of wallpaper and velvet gives the gift an opulent, decadent feel—perfect for someone who appreciates attention to detail and the art of gift-giving.

Not only is this wrapping method a creative and stylish option, but it's also kinder to the environment. By using wallpaper samples or remnants you're reducing waste and giving materials a second life while ensuring your gifts look nothing short of spectacular.

Wallpaper wrapping is also highly customisable. Consider the tastes of your recipient—are they a lover of florals, bold prints or perhaps something more whimsical? Choosing the perfect pattern to reflect their personality shows thoughtfulness and care, making the unwrapping experience just as special as the gift itself.

For an added touch of personalisation, you can embellish the wrapped gift with small details like pressed flowers, wax seals or even a handwritten tag that complements the wallpaper design.

And let’s not forget the joy of unwrapping something truly special. The tactile quality of wallpaper, often with raised textures or rich colour schemes, gives your gift that wow factor!

This holiday season, make your presents as thoughtful and luxurious as the gift inside with wallpaper-wrapped parcels that are sure to be remembered.
