Am after some really lovely wallpaper for a spare room/dressing room.
Can be dramatic/OTT/bright or rich colours.
Any suggestions?
TIA

I have always had an overwhelming desire to have William Morris wallpaper! Not much of it, just a feature wall or maybe a chimney breast. DH nearly died when I told him how much it was though!

we have this in our living room.
The flowers are actually a bit brighter in rl though.

I teamed it up with a black light fitting and black curtains.

I love it

Like that Nbg, it has a touch of the William Morris about it too!

We've got the laura ashley summer palace one in our bathroom. I love Laura Ashley at the moment, used to think it was a bit frumpy.

We got ours this time last year and it was in their half price sale.

We've just some for our lounge from homebase. it's called classic tiffany red and gold.
We bought our paint from laura ashley and my god it was expensive but the colour was just so perfect. I tried to get a match but nothing came close.

Gotta to admit I am a closet Laura Ashley fan. If I could have my entire house done in her stuff I would - no money though!

Lovely papers/ideas thanks. Have already used one Laura Ashley wallpaper:www.lauraashley.com/invt/3285567&bklist=, but I fancy something a bit bolder/darker this time. Has anyone used any COle & Son papers, they have some fab designs?

have you had a look at www.wallpaperdirect.co.uk they have a really wide range, lots of gorgeous designer stuff. If you look at the design ideas - surprise surprise section, there are some lovley ideas for big impact paper. In fact, I really like the Villa Nova one (Florence collection) they feature - would be fab for a dressing room, very glam!
fwiw, I LOVE Cole & Son their Orchid collection is yummy...

cole and sone - hundreds of designs - all swooneworthy - all online

or if really adventurous - timrous beasties - you'll have to do a search for them - they did this fabulous wallpaper which is a take off of tile de jouy but if you looked close instead of milkmaids it was poeple quaffing lager on park benches - lots of great designs

Hello Carrie - is this for your new accomodation when you finally have to leave Downing Street?

I have Bird and Pomegranate William Morris on every wall in my living room up to the picture rail. It's OTT and mental, I love it.
