I wonder if anything with the word Parchment in it might do? This is Parchment by Craig & Rose. Also B&Q do a colour match so take a piece of the paper and they will zap it and create a pretty good match. I’ve used this service and it was very good. I’m not sure whether they are doing this service at the moment though.

Hi there, I'm in the process of doing every wall in our house so I've been looking into it myself. 2 decorators both suggested lining paper - but only as an alternative to skimming the walls. Ie if your walls aren't smooth then you need to skim or line them. There are paintable lining papers so I'm not sure standard ones will be ok (don't quote me as I'm not sure). I have also read on a few sites about lining walls as well so it's fairly common. The trick is they fill the joining gaps (well they should do this to get a flat wall!) with a fine filler and lightly sand it - so it doesn't look like lining paper if you just want to paint over it. Or, you could do what I've done and spend hours filling every inch of the wall and sanding it to get a good finish. The latter is v hard work, but I can't afford to pay for all our rooms to be done now

Going back to original options with the sofas opposite each other, can you fit a tv unit under the stairs as that could look quite good? With regard to the L shaped arrangement with the tv on the unit, you could drill a circle in the back of the unit and store the play station and sky in there. Another option which I think could work is to swap the dining and living round as the dining end looks bigger. Have one sofa on the kitchen wall with the other opposite ( place the sofas about a foot from both walls) and hang the tv above the radiator. You could make a feature of the room with a built in tv, Sky and radiator cover, as per example attached from Andre hodges. That should still give you at least 4ft for a clear corridor to the kitchen ( on the basis the 7ft measurement you gave was from the side of the kitchen door!) I wouldn't paper the recesses now I've seen the whole room. Maybe considering papering or painting the kitchen wall to Bring the wall in so as to make it feel wider and give more interest to the lounge.

Nice to have a complete change! As you like all the browns, i'd go for an uplifted colour on the floor, a nice warm oak and maybe carpet in a 'digestive biscuit' colour or runner for the stairs. Harvest Berber Twist is a fabulous carpet with lots of little bitty colours to work with in it, especially the browns that you love. Harvest Berber I'd go for a feature wall maybe in a shade of dark brown that you love, but keep all the rest a more neutral tone. It will give a more modern look. I can't see the curtains too well as the picture is quite dark , but they look a cream tone, so should go well with the whole theme!

Hi Thank you very much. I just had a thought and it may be something you like the sound of. How about installing the paper you like central to the wall and framing the wall in one of our leather panels. They could be used as a frame or to create a pillar either side of the paper ? Just a thought? Or something very different is to paint the wall and buy lots of big frames and put the paper in them? Creating Art/feature wall V.I.P Walls
