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?

I like the first but also like @JaninaDuszejko's gorgeous one too

Second for sure. Love the parrot

First one

Parrots. The parrot one looks more modern to me.

Love them both, but it would parrots for me

2nd as I prefer the darker more blue blue whereas the first dark blue looks a bit purple to me

First

2nd

This is gorgeous! - I'm not even slightly creative though! Why wall would I put this on? Here's a quick pic of my lounge -- thinking wall with the long thin windows? ... ignore the wine glass!

If it was a bedroom I’d use something like this

This company has some beautiful wallpapers for any room.

In the green I should add.

The first one is stunning! I love the intensity of the colours.

Second but only because I’m after similar!

that wallpaper is lovely.

Yes I'd put it on the end wall. Get one or two accessories in the colour of the bird (ag a couple of cushions) and paint rest of lounge pale grey

Thank you @steppemum

Second

I like them both, but prefer the 2nd.

This is a feature wall, right? Because both papers are way to way out for an entire room.

Having said that, and birds or no birds, I would go for #2 as it's slightly more restrained and coherent.

I think you'd tire of #1 much sooner than #2...

First. But regarding curtains (!) Do you have to - why not blinds/shutters? Think wallpaper looks so tropical window treatment needs to match aesthetically - ooh get me!

I'd go for the first. The colours are lovely, and go better with the paint, imo. Also the parrots might not age very well. I'm not a great fan of creatures on wallpaper, unless it's in a playroom/nursery!

I feel like I need to see an example of them up on a wall to truly tell but my gut instinct says the muted colours of no. 2 would be better.

I like the colours in the second better but I too think the parrots themselves are a bit naff.
