Wallpaper for small cloakroom

Am desperate for a bit of interest in an otherwise Magnolia house. I need some inspiration for wall papering a 10ft by 4ft cloakroom. I was considering <a class="break-all" href="http://www.google.co.uk/imgres?imgurl=m0.ttxm.co.uk/images/galleries/home-garden/statement-wallpaper/originals/woodswallpaper.jpg&imgrefurl=www.talktalk.co.uk/home-garden/galleries/view/home-garden/statement-wallpaper/browse/706273&h=549&w=800&sz=119&tbnid=XOg3iAvSJuJHUM:&tbnh=82&tbnw=120&prev=/search%3Fq%3Dwoods%2Bcole%2Bson%2Bwhite%26tbm%3Disch%26tbo%3Du&zoom=1&q=woods+cole+son+white&usg=__JEjEXIejmfpb-Hv06G48bqiciMs=&docid=fU8qcbHtbaOKcM&hl=en&sa=X&ei=Bmb5ULzGBPKa0QXfj4GQCQ&ved=0CEsQ9QEwAQ&dur=263" rel="nofollow noindex" target="_blank">this but am now panicking that it will be too much. Any views?!

I agree, don't do just one wall... go for it. I'm contemplating doing something similar. The spare room at my mum and dad's is a small single and they've done it in toile de juy with curtains and bedspread in the same print. It looks fab!

I'm doing the lot and am gradually working my way around my house obliterating the 'paint it all magnolia to de-characterise it' decor. Grin

I wonder if the patteren being so vertical might give a bit of a 'lift shaft' feel IYSWIM, like stilling at the bottom of a hole. Not sure. Still think it's a great prit but maybe better in a larger space. I've been having a nose and TBH I really like loads of their patterns, their Cow Parsley has a similar fwwl to the woods but is softer and less vertical. LOve the blue and they grey but they're all bootiful

Yeah, it's a great print still 80% magnolia though

I confer. One wall is naff.

I have that paper in my hall, love it. Don't do one wall, very naff - if you are gong to do it, go for it! What's the worst that can happen? Friend of mine did her tiny loo in a monochrome paper with London and Paris landmarks, looks fabulous.

A small room can take a busy paper. It makes a statement. Don't do one wall -naff.

I could do, but wanted a bit more impact... Maybe I need to go back to the drawing board on the wall paper front. Thanks

Why not just do it on one wall?

tbh I think it would feel a bit "enclosing" iykwim.
