Should I buy this?

In my old flat I had this wallpaper as a feature wall in my bedroom and I totally loved it (although I know feature walls are much maligned on here)
They don't do the wallpaper anymore but I've found these rolls on ebay - I think it would probably be enough to do a feature wall in my current bedroom as it's a modern house.
But would it be daft to use the same wallpaper again? This house is a totally different style to my old flat but I think it could still work.
Although the bedroom doesn't actually need decorated just now!

If you really loved it then definitely. It must really reflect your own taste and style if you loved it enough to want to do it again. Very pretty paper by the way :-)

Not daft in the slightest. Its your home and you put what you want in it, if you love it then enjoy it!

I think it looks like a very pretty paper from the bits I can see and I don't mind feature walls Grin

do it, do it, do it.

Previously every house we have lived in was decorated to make it easy to sell when the time came, so lots of neutrals etc.

We are now in our forever house so it doesn't matter what other people think, it is what we like that matters. Of course we all want people to ooooh and ahhhh over our houses but surely if it makes you oooh and ahhh when you come home that is what truly matters.

The only thing I would do is ask the seller if the batch numbers are all the same, I know it is implied with the "straight match" bit but I would double check, would be awful if one roll was a slightly different colour. Looks very lovely by the way.

Hmmmm I've messaged the seller about that batch numbers and two of them are the same but the third one is different. Not sure what to do now...

Have you done the maths to see how much paper you will need? No idea how you do this but have seen wallpaper calculators on sites selling paper.

Or rather see how much wall 2 rolls will cover, then if you can't match the 3rd you could use the paper on a smaller wall. If you do this though base your bid on the amount you would be prepared to pay for 2 rolls.

Two different batch numbers sounds dodgy and maybe that is why you can only see the rolls all rolled up?
