What do you think of this wallpaper that my husband fell in love with and which we put in the entrance hall? Did we do right? I would have gone for a more muted paint!!

What are your thoughts on embossed wallpaper?
Comments (10)I have so much nostalgia towards it I remember my nana having a kind of bubble effect one when I was little I remember how much I loved and she loathed me constantly trying to pop the little bubbles in reality though all I was doing was putting little finger nail marks all over her wallpaper. Although I defiantly wouldn't have it in my house I can see how its valuable on uneven walls as a pose to skimming or lining paper...See MoreDark hallway with woodchip wallpaper
Comments (6)Hello Holly, First of all, it doesn't matter whether the place is done up or "Up market" as you said... Your house is your home! Budget is also not a problem for someone like me. I can create style with even modest bucks! Anyone can create style with lots of ££ and very often don't! The real skill is providing style with very little... First of all could I suggest removing the hearts.. Why not hook them on a door handle... You can then focus on the space of that wall... One thing you could do is find a lovely large mirror and hang that, Ebay and charity shops, antiques that sort of thing... I love a good find at a second hand store..... A mirror gives the eye a focus and reflects the hallway with an interesting "view" that pictures cannot provide... Or have a few smaller mirrors and an even larger one on the left wall at the top of the stairs.. (left standing on top stair) Or a large mirror on that first landing and a large canvas on that large wall at the top left.. Possibly buy a chest or something that can serve as storage.. for below the stairway there.. Then the stairs can be free from things.. You could have a little basket inside so you can fill it up before taking said things upstairs.. The crack is small but you can fill it.. and paint or remove the chipboard paper... Maybe worth looking outside the front door to that exterior wall to see if the cracks are visible there too... It is natural to have some movement and unless you can see more of these and bigger, I would not worry too much.. I like the cupboard, I would leave that as it's useful.. Also the banister rail is not at all bad looking... but if you wanted to make a change here and remove the two top panels to make it open and cut the plinth to look like the bottom stair.. That could be a gr8 idea.. So the top looks like the bottom portion of stairs with no banister but a small side panel.. This could greatly change the feeling here as it would feel open and spacious. A beautiful mirror could then really focus here... Perhaps consider a more modern colour for the walls and woodwork... and you don't really notice the paper... Personally I don't think the glass is necessary unless for safety issue (little nippers) and not so keen.. I'd have it open as it's a very small flight of stairs. Have a look at Little Greene for paint colours.. If the door is pvcu.. You could paint it with special pvcu paint.. You could do all the windows too... Lovely colours for doors are black, dark green, grey, Think of a theme you may want to introduce to the house.. Maybe various shades of a favourite colour and then work round the house... Woodwork does not need to remain white either.. You can go dark or lighter version of the wall colours... Or even a contrast.. So some ideas that don't involve a big spend... : )) http://www.kolorbond.co.uk/kolorbond-paint-plastic-pvc-upvc...See MoreHigh ceiling hallway - wallpaper advice needed
Comments (1)Hi Lindsey, How about a geometric style wallpaper? I'd suggest keeping the dado rail, wall below and skirting the same colour, and having the wallpaper above as you propose. A geometric design is contemporary and will add energy and life to the space. I'd suggest one of the following: Zoffany Spark paper GP & J Baker Langdale Trellis paper Farrow & Ball Tessella paper For the paint colour, Farrow & Ball have a great selection: Farrow & Ball paint colours I wouldn't have too much of a contrast between the paint and wallpaper colours, as the difference between a flat paint colour and geometric design should be enough of an impact. Hope that helps! PB...See MoreHelp needed - hallway wallpaper
