For context it is only on a tiny bit of wall in my extension to two bedrooms. I love how it looks but imagine it's not everyone's up of tea.

Hmmmmmm... it's a bit similar to the stuff everyone was putting up 15 years ago to make feature walls.

ParkheadParadise · 31/10/2021 18:41

I like it.

WeAreTheHeroes · 31/10/2021 18:41

It's a bold choice but on one or two walls rather than a whole room could look fab.

EveryoneIsUnique · 31/10/2021 18:41

I love it, so many bright colours. Wouldn't want it in livingroom but would look fantastic behind bed. So many colours to choose matching pieces with.

I disagree - much more sophisticated than that.
CiaoForDiNiaoSaur · 31/10/2021 18:41

I love it.

Olivegreenstrawberries · 31/10/2021 18:44

I'm not normally into those bold feature, floral, walls but the detail of these flowers plus this particular shade of navy makes this work. You would have to carefully pick the colours to go with it through. It could easily look tacky but with the right stuff to go with it I think it could look beautiful.

I also think it will help that it's on a small wall as you've said.

Good luck

BrightYellowDaffodil · 31/10/2021 18:45

It's not my style, but I don't hat it Wink

Cherrysoup · 31/10/2021 18:46

Have you done a whole room in it? I’d quite like it for a feature wall, I suppose, as long as I didn’t have to look at it all the time.

DroopyClematis · 31/10/2021 18:47

It's very beautiful but I wouldn't clad walls with it.
It might be 'in your face.'

ShinyHappyPoster · 31/10/2021 18:50

I like it but I do like the current trend for patterned wallpapers like this. It's all over instagram so probably more people will like it than you think.

WorraLiberty · 31/10/2021 18:50

I don't hate it but I don't like it either.

It reminds me a bit of 80s Laura Ashley.

Thedogscollar · 31/10/2021 18:50

I really like it OP really bold. I think on a small of wall it would look fab. Good choice.

DramaAlpaca · 31/10/2021 18:51

Not for me. I don't like the colours. On the whole I don't like wallpaper feature walls much at all though.

godmum56 · 31/10/2021 18:53

love definitely. Either all walls for a me space or one wall for a public room

RobertaFirmino · 31/10/2021 18:54

You might think I'm a bit of a helmet for saying this but I think it's quite a topper. It's bold but not so much that you'd need a visor to look at it. If you're after a real fascinator for your living room, this could be it!

toolazytothinkofausername · 31/10/2021 18:55

I think it is great if it is your taste, but not for me. I'm far too boring. I wouldn't mind seeing it in a hotel room I was staying in.

retroginglass · 31/10/2021 18:55

For context it's on a kind of landing between two bedrooms in my exception so think literally three strips of wallpaper. The rest of the wee hall is white as is the skirting and ceiling. The carpet will be very neutral when we get it. Was really just testing it out. Would be too much in the wrong place I think.

I love it. My friend used paper like this on the wall behind the bed, looks lovely. Also put some in a frame (like a picture) and used it on a plain wall.

godmum56 · 31/10/2021 18:56

@retroginglass cheaper on ebay!

Hat is a strong word, but i don’t love it.

LadyTiredWinterBottom2 · 31/10/2021 18:57

Love.

Definitely not hat.

retroginglass · 31/10/2021 18:58

Dang Godmum so it is, good thing I only needed one roll!

Hat.

Fine for a blouse. Not for a wall.
