Sounds classy. I bet navy bed linen would look original & classy.

Hello Anastasia, I hope you are well. I love the Cole and Son hicks hexagon too and it does look absolutely stunning on the wall. The quality is great too. Both designs will create a WOW and look fabulous and the hall is the place to do it. I am sure you have seen images of the cole and son on the wall too, but just in case https://www.google.co.uk/search?q=image+of+rooms+decorated+with+cole+and+son+geometric+wallpaper&espv=2&biw=1093&bih=494&tbm=isch&imgil=8LqsJQOcPudg5M%253A%253BwlC-0FV3Fxc_4M%253Bhttp%25253A%25252F%25252Fblog.decoratorsbest.com%25252F2014%25252F04%25252F15%25252Fhow-to-incorporate-geometrics-into-every-room-of-your-home%25252F&source=iu&pf=m&fir=8LqsJQOcPudg5M%253A%252CwlC-0FV3Fxc_4M%252C_&dpr=1.25&usg=okQdK7Jo5A1VFQC8_dFO-7hFb1s%3D&ved=0CD0QyjdqFQoTCN2RpeG-4sgCFUu6GgodfmkBhQ&ei=PVgvVp3_Acv0av7ShagI#tbm=isch&tbs=rimg%3ACUFl7bjpaTieIjhXpxNgsMi79sglGLWntIgdhrNU2mUeh3BoK3NLI_1gDNMJEJCk-BXjpxGiOvfBIRTbCv9-FSWO63ioSCVenE2CwyLv2EZQrGxa4SLHpKhIJyCUYtae0iB0RMsoVXlZ677UqEgmGs1TaZR6HcBHb_1cdQJl0rQSoSCWgrc0sj-AM0EV6UvYKLKQJXKhIJwkQkKT4FeOkRSfNNvI6LJzoqEgnEaI698EhFNhEfbeYBDDIvSCoSCcK_134VJY7reEQnc8dWFW42Z&q=image%20of%20rooms%20decorated%20with%20cole%20and%20son%20geometric%20wallpaper&imgdii=c0Ed3CWKFAuTM%3A%3Bc0Ed3CWKFAuTM%3A%3BR9DSGwjh_uNiyM%3A&imgrc=c_0Ed3CWKFAuTM%3A I am a real believer in being brave and going for what you love in your home..... go with gut:-)

What to choose with this wallpaper?

HI FRANCIS, GORGEOUS WALLPAPER, HAVE YOU THOUGHT OF AN ENGINEERED WOOD OAK FLOOR? SAINSBURYS HOMEBASE HAVE A GORGEOUS LIGHT OAK ENGINEERED PARAWOOD FLOOR CURRENTLY AT HALF PRICE. ITS EXTREMELY HARDWEARING, ITS SO STRONG AND TOUGH, AND YOU CAN SEAL IT WITH EXTRA COASTS OF YACHT VARNSH TO PROTECT IT FOR YEARS TO COME. WE HAVE IT IN OUR HOME, IT LOOKS GREAT AND EVERYONE WHO VISITS COMPLIMENTS IT. I WOULD HAVE THE WALLPAPER AS A FEATURE WALL AND I WOULD PAINT THE OTHER THREE WALLS A STONE COLOUR LIKE THE PAPER. ITS SO STUNNING YOU ONLY REALLY NEED ONE WALL. OR THEY COULD GO ALL WHITE WITH WHITE FURNITURE TO LOOK QUITE MODERN OR COTTAGEY. LIMIT THE AMOUNT OF PATTERN IN THE ROOM TO LET THE WALLPAPER BE THE STAR OF THE ROOM. TICKING STRIPES WOULD ECHO THE LINES OF THE PAPER AND GIVE A FRENCH CONTINENTAL TWIST. YOU COULD KEEP THE ROOM TONAL IN ALL SOFT NEUTRAL PALETTE OR YOU COULD GO WILD WITH TEAL/DUCKEGG/TURQUOISE/PURPLE CURTAINS. IKEA HAS SOME GREAT WINDOW CURTAINS, IF YOU REALLY WANT TO COLOUR POP ORANGE IS A GREAT CHOICE WITH CHOCOLATE BROWN OR BLACK. I GUESS YOU HAVE TO DECIDE HOW YOU WANT THE ROOM TO FEEL OR THE LEVEL OF IMPACT YOU WANT IT TO HAVE. YOU CAN GET THE SAME DEPTH AND INTEREST IN A TONAL ROOM AS YOU CAN IN A CONTRASTING ONE. TRY SITTING IN YOUR ROOM, OR LYING DOWN ON THE FLOOR, CLOSE YOUR EYES AND TRY TO IMAGINE HOW YOU WANT YOUR ROOM TO LOOK AND FEEL. GOOD LUCK WITH YOUR PROJECT, HOPE YOU GET LOTS OF GREAT IDEAS.

I need help choosing a wallpaper for my 60's kitchen
Q

Hello Caro, That is a spectacular kitchen and the second I have seen on Houzz that's similar.. The other was yellow but the owners ripped it out! I am very glad you're keeping yours.. The fridge is wonderful too... What would really make this stand out is if you could find a home for the pans... So the kitchen remains sleek... Could I suggest a warmer lighter granite for the worktop or perhaps a worktop that would compliment the look like Formica! ... I think black would be too harsh here.. Something with blue in would be good too so it compliments the tiles... OR keep what you have as it looks blue.... You could have blue as a theme for the flooring too... Are you changing the flooring?.. If so Sinclair Till is an excellent choice for linoleum.. http://www.sinclairtill.co.uk/range/3/3360 http://www.sinclairtill.co.uk/range/3/3828 For walls Cole and Son do some fantastic papers Geometric Grand restyled... They are a larger and bolder version of their former smaller collection in this range... For Bold... For Subtle.. For pendant lighting... For dining... something like this table and chairs would be ideal.. Also the fridge is lovely too.... For cocktails... An ice bucket and a few glasses! I think this is one such occasion where I can say.. "Don't just go to first base... Go all the way!" : ))

I had this in the light green in my bedroom and for some reason the colour didn't work - green doesn't go with much. Avoid the green.

Try Calluna by F&B - it's pale grey with a very slight hint of lilac, which I think that wallpaper has too? Agree, you need to avoid a greenish grey.

Hello Sarah, I'd be inclined to suggest either dark grey, charcoal or a lighter silvery grey. Decide what the room could take. Look at the light throughout the day and the furnishings you have. What have you got going on in the rest of the house. If the feel is generally light and delicate then I would opt for a silvery grey. If you have a very strong theme throughout then perhaps it would be fantastic to have a deep moody charcoal.. Get samples and paint onto a4 paper and look at them over the course of the day to see how the light affects them. It's a wonderful colour and paper! You could accent with the skirting, architraving, cornice etc if you have those with a silvery colour with a hint of purple. Or a deep grey hint of purple if you veer towards the charcoal grey.. : ))

I had this paper as a feature wall behind my bed in a dark bedroom. Decided to embrace the dark and paired it with a dark purple wall and white furniture. It was a lush cocoon and I still miss it...
