A few quick opinions needed... will be buying today! It's for a spare, single bedroom, fun and modern vibe (hopefully!) Thanks.

I'd also probably just put whichever one you choose on one wall and paint the rest.

Neither look particularly 70’s to me and I was a young adult during that decade so remember the decor well.

I prefer the first. The dominant colour is grey, but the second is yellow.

Lycanthropology · 21/11/2022 11:55

I'm not particularly looking for a 70s vibe @BobbyBobbyBobby , but don't mind if I get one, as a PP suggested I may with either of these wallpapers.
I was a child in the 70s, but still remember some of the pretty amazing patterns!

I prefer 2. The first one is too chaotic for my liking and I’m not a fan of grey (although actually if you have a grey carpet it would go nicely).

Don’t understand the ‘too busy’ comments. This is a single wall and you have no idea what the rest of the room will look like. Also, OP clearly likes it, so it really doesn’t matter if you don’t.

1st one

Littlepiggiesinblankets · 21/11/2022 11:56

The second one for me (mainly cause I am sick of grey in interiors now!)

Ohdearnotagain76 · 21/11/2022 11:57

First as second looks faded before you begun

I realise there's grey in the second one too, but looks less to me.

Schnooze · 21/11/2022 11:58

I like the one with more grey in it. It’s less “busy”. But both are nice,

Lycanthropology · 21/11/2022 11:59

Interesting that people are noticing the grey in the first. I have no grey anywhere in my house, didn't jump on that trend but liked the wallpaper for the yellow/ochre part and the pattern. I have some yellow curtains already for the room.

I would be concerned about wallpaper with those colours being out of fashion now. I don't decorate to a trend myself, but lots of people do. Grey and yellow has been around for a while now and I think grey is going out. Obviously that may not matter to you op, but something to consider if it does.

knittingaddict · 21/11/2022 12:07

I do love the mid century vibe to those wallpapres though. I would go for the one without grey as I think it will date more quickly.

Clawdy · 21/11/2022 12:09

First one definitely.

ofwarren · 21/11/2022 12:13

The first. The second is too yellow for me.

Sewaccidentprone · 21/11/2022 12:15

You need to read the book The Yellow Wallpaper - lol

NannyGythaOgg · 21/11/2022 12:15

second for me.

Sewaccidentprone · 21/11/2022 12:17

I prefer 2. The pattern is more regular and the colour contrast less jarring. Also warmer looking.

Read it! I'll just have to be careful who I put in there! Grin

Roughly counting with my fingers they're still pretty much neck and neck! 😱

catmothertes1 · 21/11/2022 12:20

First one.

ErinAoife · 21/11/2022 12:23

I find these wallpaper not modern at all but outdated, looks like something for the 70 on my opinion.

mydogisthebest · 21/11/2022 12:31

Second. I really like both of them though

JaneJeffer · 21/11/2022 12:32

Don't like either. Sorry!

Lycanthropology · 21/11/2022 12:34

From the 70s @ErinAoife ? That's the modern era...
By modern I don't mean currently trendy, I CBA with that!
