The blue and grey rose pattern - 1 wall only (behind the headboard) and all other walls plain white and minimalistic style.

Is it old fashioned looking or not in your view?

I’m not a fan of flowery or busy wallpaper at all usually but kinda like this one.

Sorry I think it's vile. In my opinion it looks cheap and dated. However, I'm not an interior designer and if you like it then have it!

If you like it, go for it, but I find it hideous! Like something from a home make-over show where they want to update a home that was last done in the 90's, and this is what they had!!!

Why not have a feature wall in a single colour instead, or a different pattern instead of that?

PickAChew · 11/07/2020 19:00

I like the colours but the pattern looks too 3D and does my eyes in.

I quickly go off a nice paper or fabric if I see anything unintended like weird optical effects or faces.

Interested in this thread?

I don't like it either, I don't like patterned feature walls and that does have a particularly weird 3d effect which makes my eyes feel funny.

I love it....but I think wallpapers on feature walls is a bit yesterday

Bettysprocker · 11/07/2020 19:12

My young teen daughter has similar, it's all pale pink roses. It was her choice and it's only on one wall. I don't particularly like hers but it has been up a couple of years. Yours already looks dated and the two colours just don't look right, sorry.

HelpMeh · 11/07/2020 19:15

It's another no from me, sorry.

MrsExpo · 11/07/2020 19:18

Definite no from me, but it's your house and your taste. If you like it, go for it.

justanotherneighinparadise · 11/07/2020 19:19

Oh no, feature walls are a bit passé now, particularly bright ones with big patterns.

Nanalisa60 · 11/07/2020 19:27

I really like it for a bedroom, especially if you are using a lot of white with it.

Manteo · 11/07/2020 19:30

It's looks cheap and unimaginative. It looks like the rest of the room would be Mrs Hinch style.

emelsie · 11/07/2020 19:35

No , it reminds me of something you would see in an Argos catalogue probably 10 years back , with matching curtains and lamps ...but that's just my opinion and my taste , you should always do what you like to see in your own home , I'm sure lots of people would think my house is bland, boring and unimaginative, they are probably right but it makes me feel calm and I like it.

CottonSock · 11/07/2020 19:37

No from me too sorry.
I've been looking for feature wall paper too, but can't commit.

LynetteScavo · 11/07/2020 19:40

It's not to my taste, but I dont live in your house

Cherrysoup · 11/07/2020 19:44

Why do you care what others think? If you like it, go for it. My only caveat would be that you might have to tone in furnishings/duvet cover if that kind of thing bothers you.

userxx · 11/07/2020 19:49

Who cares what others think, go for it. I've got a feature wall in my bedroom and love it, it was dull without it.

KoalasandRabbit · 11/07/2020 19:56

I don't like it, looks modern to me but it's you who will be looking at it so if you love it go for it.

carly2803 · 11/07/2020 20:08

Thanks everyone. Surprising that almost everyone dislikes it. Can you put a link to wallpaper designs you do like (IF you like wallpaper and feature walls) - just out of curiosity :)

I really dislike "feature walls" but the world would be v boring if everyone was the same.

If you like it then go for it.

Dotinthecity · 11/07/2020 20:22

I think it's hideous but then again, I like MissPrint wallpapers (particularly Little Trees) and you may think they're hideous. You should choose something you like.

MorvaanReed · 11/07/2020 20:24

If I had the right room and the money it wouldn't just be a feature wall.

What do you think of this wallpaper for a feature wall?

It's a big pattern and although the colours are muted it seems a bit busy... it might look better in real life?
If you like it get it! You can't please everyone and your view is the most important.

Ugly.
