Which of these two wallpapers do you prefer?

[blaisealex]

Can't decide between the two navy based wallpapers. I've attached a photo of my colour scheme. The first or second?

First. It's lovely

the first definitely.
i presume it is for a feature wall, ie not to cover the whole room, that would be a mistake i think.
is it to go behind your headboard, with the rest of the room plain painted.
that might work i think.
don't make the room too dark, choose a light paint for the other walls.

@GreyhoundG1rl

Have you a link for the parrot one, op?

I saw it on Matalan but you can get it from lots of different places. It's called Arthouse Pretty Polly Navy Wallpaper.

I can't seem to upload it but I love the navy banana leaf one from ilovewallpaper, but I'm thinking of it for my office, it's not pretty like yours are.

1st

Yes, for behind the headboard.

@YesIDoLoveCrisps

Are they both from B&Q? I think I was eyeing them up earlier in the week

No, the first one is from ilovewallpaper and the second one you can get from lots of different places like Matalan, Homebase, The Range, etc. (:

It's a bit of a long shot... but this thread has reminded me, someone posted a link from a digitally printed wallpaper company a few months ago that had the most amazing designs. I think they came as individual sheets in 2 different heights rather than a roll and some of the designs were a sort of hybrid between a mural/wallpaper, you had panel A, B, C, so the pattern repeat was several panels wide IYSWIM? They also had patterns that weren't the entire height of panel eg climbing flowers but the different strands went to different heights, like in a garden.

The designs were a bit House of Hackney/Timorous Beasties. I think they had some more abstract designs too. Anyone have any idea? I forgot to bookmark it...

Second one, it is fun . The other is too stylish and will date

Second one with the parrots. The colours are more "neutral" giving you more options on soft furnishings further down the line when you want to freshen up the room.

I like the colours of the first pic and the pattern of the second. Not helpful 😖

Yeah, me too!

First is amazing.

SECOND all day every day

Second one

Although I love the parrots, I think the colours in the first are better, and it matches your paint better.

Both lovely prints.

Parot one is in the Queen Vic….

Parrot!!!

I'm more of a white walls type person, so I wouldn't have either. To me they are so different in design & colour I'm surprised you don't prefer one over the other. Is it a cost thing? Maybe you need to keep looking until you find one you love where there's no need to ask a bunch of randoms - some with dubious taste 🤣🤣
