7 years agoWould any of these work...or are they too busy? You wouldnt see the fireplace and the paper at the same time from either room.

Comments (14)As always some fab points. I have considered price but the cost of paper was far less than having every wall skimmed but to be honest paper was more feasible for the time frame as there is no chain we can complete quickly. The 3 living rooms come off the hall and the bottom one is straight ahead of the front door which will be the dining room so I was thinking wallnut floor in hall and dining room but I'd like to have carpet in the other 2 reception rooms which will be library and sitting room as I have wood floors now in my sitting room and as much as I love the way it looks I feel like I'm forever cleaning it. It seams silly to place pet the hall though especially with children's muddy feet. There is no cornices in any of the upstairs rooms so I think brick effect paper will work well in the master. I'm stil not sure wetha to do all walls or just feature wall. We have wallnut furniture which I love so I think it will be a fab room. My daughters room I'm most excited bout it's just trying to decide how much of which colour more Grey or more pink or equal both I'm leaning more towards more grey because it will be easy to change the pink as she ages. My step son is difficult as he had probably had a different room every year in our house as he's aged he's gone from toy story to batman to Barcelona fc. So now I'm saying no to themed rooms. I was thinking maybe a mural on the wall behind the bed maybe black and white New York sky line or something and keep everything else very simple black and white??? The floor boards aren't in great condition and I know I probably stand alone when I say this but I don't actually like the look of original floor boards unless they are perfect. I agree with the decor flowing through the house and aside from the kids rooms it will all be pretty neutral. The dining room leads out into a beautiful garden so I was toying with trying to bring the outside in with some nature tones I'm just not sure how to go about it? Any suggestions for a dining table colour as it will sit on wallnut floor or am I just being picky and it doesn't really matter, just in my head an oak table on wallnut floor doesn't look great. Wish I'd taken pictures so I could show before and after I'll have to remember to when we move...See MorePlease I need your help! My front room looks dull, and the wall paper
Comments (4)Hi. The room appears quite dark atm so I'd go for a warm neutral on the walls, perhaps try farrow and ball or little Greene. For the wallpaper Maybe a subtle pattern in a metallic to bounce some light or a grasscloth effect paper to add texture. I'd lighten the sofas up with throws and cushions in different textures and patterns. Do you prefer a neutral scheme or colour? Have you considered recovering your seat pads on the chairs to lighten them up and maybe add pattern? It's easy with a staple gun! A vase of faux flowers on the table would look great (I love the hydrangea from Oka!) unless of course you can afford real each week and a plant elsewhere. Agree re pendant light over dining table and lamps to cosy the space. Perhaps a bigger rug for the living area to zone the seating space and one for the reading area. Is it also possible to shorten the curtain pole on the main window? For accessories do look at chrome, glass etc as they will bounce light...See MoreWallpaper for my bright south facing room
Comments (3)Can you please add some pictures? Possibly you could use a more textured wallpaper. Some colors are a lot more weather resistant than others, depending on their chemistry. Dyes and fluorescent are a definite no go, fade too fast. Look for higher quality wallpapers, screen printed ones that usually have higher light fastness....See More- 7 years ago

7 years agoI kind of agree with colourhappy, but... I can also understand your desire to have pattern on the wall and to add a feminine touch.
What do you think of something like this?

PRO7 years agoHi Gerty, I would definitely recommend a neutral textured wallpaper if you didn't want to just paint the walls either side. Harlequin do some really nice ones that would work against the busy fireplace. Or you could use on another wall and paint either side of the fireplace, hard to say for sure without seeing the whole room.
This has a slight plaster affect which slightly emulates the pattern in the fireplace...
This one is a metallic texture which could look really nice...
This shows how the textured wallpaper will look but I would stick to a neutral colour...
PRO7 years agolast modified: 7 years agoI agree with previous comments. In this case than less than better. I understand you willing and if you want to warm up the room you can go for textured wall covering or with gentle pattern. Please have a look at Tektura https://www.tektura.com/ They have plenty of great options. The best way to make a right decision is to order a sample and have a look how its work with your fantastic fireplace. Tektura can provide you with A2 size sample. Good size to visualise better
