Allan, I did a little research and it looks like it's just taped-off stripes and painted in an alternating blue gloss + matte paint

Not sure - but you might be able to create a similar effect with paint and varnish ?

where to buy wallpaper

Welcome Emma, They are top of the range and so they will not carry high street prices...but they have fabulous quality.. I would rather paper 1 wall in something beautiful that all walls with lesser quality. mrsmcee's links for John Lewis is often good too as you can see a range of companies under 1 roof.. I don't know of the others though but they are probably like JL with a range of designers under the 1 roof.. If you can get to the design centre though.. it's worth a look... There are a few fabulous places.... : ))

Curtains- can't decide
Q

I would agree with the previous comments. A plain fabric will enhance your wallpaper as a feature. I have a similar look at home and used plain curtains to make the wall paper really stand out. If you opt for a lighter weight fabric you could always use an interlining to ensure you don't compromise on warmth. Interlining is a padding, it sits between your curtain and curtain lining and comes in different densities, I used an interlining that was attached to my curtain lining for ease. Dianne PS please ignore the bunting, its not a permanent feature :-)

Colour schemes, wallpaper suggestions - bedroom

Love the colour of the bed. I think I'd build your colour scheme around it with the introduction of some pattern and textures. If wallpapering I would just do the one feature wall behind the bed and keep the other walls, bedding, window dressing and accessories in white or neutral colours. Love this wallpaper which I think will look good: http://www.designerwallpapers.co.uk/colours/aqua-blue-wallpaper/molokini.html#aqua-blue-wallpaper-tint-7 A few cushions on the bed in an one or two accent colours, in this case the green/yellow, or a dark navy will pull the look together. Coral and dusty pinks also work really well with teal.

Waterproof Wallpaper
Q

Hi Kate, If you are wallpapering your bathroom - you don't necessarily need waterproof wallpaper, you just need to seal it with a decorating sealant (Decorators Varnish) It's great, and it means it gives you all the freedom of wallpaper designs! I would recommend the dead flat finish as it won’t show, although I would always suggest a small test patch first, even though I have never heard of any problems. We use it even over the most expensive rolls of paper! I hope this helps! Good luck, Holly

If you go for paint option, F&B Hague Blue is a similar hue

I've used this technique before; to get the richest results use an egg shell finish, and then create the second stripe with a glaze over it to create the alternating stripe. I also agree that the Farrow & Ball Hague Blue is a beautiful blue that reads like this blue.

Why not buy two different types of paper then put them up in alternating bands?

I think the one behind the headboard is textured like a grass cloth - York SH 5061 looks similar. The other stripe looks like paint to me.

Pat's idea to use two paint textures would work wonderfully! Try Ralph Lauren's suede finishes alternating with a Benjamin Moore metallic. Tie the two together by covering the wall with a transparent glaze.

Why don't you call the designer and ask them what they used and how they used and how this was done. Was it one wallpaper or a mixture of things.

You're quite welcome Allan. I have an account with York and Seabrook wallpapers. Let me know if you'd be interested in finding an actual wallpaper for your room.

I created a similar effect on wood paneling. I used flat, water based paint first and the stripe was then created by painting high gloss urethane between parallel lines of painters tape. I had been told it also could be achieved by using the same colored paint but in a high gloss finish.

Looks more like a special blending paint technique and was professionally done.

Had it done many times with paint.
One band flat the next band egg shell or satin.
Dark colors make it harder....because you can't take a bathroom brake while doing a band (trust me on this it will show when using dark paint colors)!!!
Painting this look is cost effective and easy to undo if you choose to change the look.

You are going to want to paint instead of wallpaper. :) That is a really dark color. Make sure you have lots of light in your room.

I don't know the wallpaper but I have a wall that looks just like that only black. I used flat paint for the velvet look and a high gloss for the satin look. It was very easy to do. I painted the entire wall with the high gloss, let it dry, taped off the stripes the size i wanted and then painted the flat. Use the same color just a different sheen. The only problem, when painting the high gloss, always paint in the same direction, any strkes in a different direction will show up like a sore thumb. You should try it, it came out stunning! GK

You can get the same effect with paint. Use the same color for both stripes but one is matte and one is gloss.

Valspar has a Faux paint scheme that creates that effect. The base color is Satin or gloss and the shiny stripes has the same base color but is mixed with a pearlescent paint base. The shiny stripes should be painted in only one direction to enhance the shine.

LInks that might help: http://www.home-dzine.co.za/bedroom/bedroom-hotel-style.htm has the actual color codes and http://www.housetohome.co.uk/bedroom/picture/vivid-blue-bedroom?room_colour=blue&room_style=modern might be the original source for the room.
