I change out the pictures in frames with Christmas fabrics, it looks more like it's on canvas. I think most wrapping paper would be too glossy.

Another cheap & easy decorating tip: use existing tall glass vases or decorative pedestal bowls that you might have around the house, and place several christmas ornaments, alternating colors (I like to use the satin-thread old-school ones you can get at the 99-cent stores, but any will do) - adds a great visual impact anywhere & uses pre-existing things you have, just presented in a new way...as a centerpiece, you can place some sprigs of pine around it for added "oomph", or flank w/candelabras
