Or don't use wallpaper at all, and restore the fireplace, not sure if that was intended, as that will be a lovely feature in the room itself.

One other way is to put wallpaper on the wall opposite the fireplace, which you can see from the open arched entrance, just make sure that whichever wallpaper you use flows also with the room leading into the current room from the arched open entrance, as it will be visible from there.

Personally I do not like wallpapers used just on the chimney or on the chimney wall especially when there is a beautiful fireplace there which should be the most important feature in itself, but that is my personal preference...

From what I can see in the photographs your room is rather compact. You may find the dark shade of grape rather heavy if used on all the walls. However, it could be very effective if used on one wall (called a feature wall). If you have not bought the curtains yet consider fabric that has a pattern similar to your cushions and includes the grape/purple colour - take one of the cushions or the cover with you when choosing the curtains it will help you find the right colour match. You may also need to change your rug - difficult to see from the photo but the colours will not match if changing it go for a large rug cream background with perhaps a purple swirl of colour. Try a google image search - the picture attached came up in ebay - but there are many more designs available on the high street.

Hi you two, you've been so very helpful. I've ordered a few GP & J samples so I can't wait to get them! You've been great with advise so much so I recommended Houzz on Facebook, not your names specifically incase you didn't want that but you've certainly helped me. Don't think I'll go for an aqua wallpaper I think it might be a bit much as I'd like to paper all the walls up to pic rail, then paint above, but I love the herons - unusual, modern yet in keeping. Sometimes I wish we didn't have a period property as there is a lot of work to do. We moved in in March and it's an uphill struggle but I know it will be worth it in the end! I'm currently covered in wallpaper & paint specks.

Thanks ... This was my thinking Coralina ... as it’s a long wall and the radiator will be moved to under the window. If I keep the fireplace wall white ... I can then maybe put a big mirror over the fire and/or selection of framed prints etc to the right . Maybe ....
