AIBU to ask where this wallpaper is from?

I know it's a weak AIBU but I basically want to recreate this bedroom. I have approx 2k to spend and just love that hotel style.

It looks like someone has ripped bits of it.

Saavhi · 31/05/2019 23:07

And replaced it with gold!

Sorry you want to spend £2K on your bedroom? Is this a wind up?

(Paper is hideous)

scarecrowhead · 31/05/2019 23:13

Just rip bits off your wallpaper - sorted

freshstartnewme · 31/05/2019 23:13

I have never stayed Ina hotel where that was the 'style'

Saavhi · 31/05/2019 23:14

I am updating my childhood bedroom (using my welcome bonus from my grad scheme). I personally like it - each to their own :)

"Kintsugi" hand painted wallpaper by Porter Teleo

littleyellowpencil · 31/05/2019 23:16

What about these? Or the same, but less strange looking perhaps?

(Sorry typo)

Honestly not a clue but I’d look ok Not On The High Street. You might not find that but might find something similar. It’s not to my taste personally but I like the look. Once you said it was gold I got it a lot more! You might find it’s actually painted rather than paper though?

peachgreen · 31/05/2019 23:17

Oh noooo that's awful! It looks ripped!

Saavhi · 31/05/2019 23:17

My fiance recently split up with me so I fancy a splurge (as I move in back home)

Oliversmumsarmy · 31/05/2019 23:20

That is a hotel style I wouldn't want to spend 2p on never mind £2k

Saavhi · 31/05/2019 23:20

Yeah it looks ripped but it's the right the balance of interesting/clean for me.

Saavhi · 31/05/2019 23:21

Please add alternatives.

I get that you want to treat yourself. But why dont you save it for a deposit on a flat or flatshare? Better new start than going back to your parents.

AppleKatie · 31/05/2019 23:26

If you’ve got 2k and a grad scheme don’t spend it on decorating your childhood bedroom get a flat!

Saavhi · 31/05/2019 23:30

I will realistically be living here for the next year...at least. It will do my mental health a world of good by redecorating. The savings I should be able to make will enable me to make tremendous savings (whilst feeling comfortable and get myself back on track).

You're getting a lot of unhelpful replies OP! I think the wallpaper is quirky and interesting :-) But I'm sorry I can't help with where to get it. Could you get a similar effect with paint and stencilling? (I am not a home decorator, just having a guess...)

Cautionsharpblade · 31/05/2019 23:39

My cat loves creating this effect and she’ll do it for a fraction of the cost

Saavhi · 31/05/2019 23:41

Catzpyjamas - thanks! It seems sold out and not the right colour. The search continues....

I have the very same grey ottoman already (as the pic) and just love that shade of green. The new cream carpet my parents have installed def needs to be tarted up somewhat.

Saavhi · 31/05/2019 23:43

My grey headboard is very difficult to match!

Tillygetsit · 31/05/2019 23:54

I love that real colour. My spare bedroom is painted in Teal tension ( where fo they get these paint names from?!) Maybe if you're artistic you could recreated that with gold paint?

thistimeofyear · 31/05/2019 23:57

that is depressing

redastherose · 01/06/2019 00:02

I like the dark green but not keen on the gold 'rips' personally but it's your room. Why not see if you can get a local artist to recreate the look, probably wouldn't cost that much for one feature wall.
