On a whim I bought 3 rolls of orla keily wallpaper.
I live in 1950 s house .
I have enough for either one wall, paper to both alcoves ( tv to one side, woodburner in middle) or in both alcoves and above woodburner too.
I want a strong mid century look .
Unsure which to go for? The pattern is a strong geometric
.thanks.

If you have enough wallpaper, do the whole of the woodburner wall.

I'm a pure brilliant white paint only person but have loud taste in fabrics, artwork etc

If you go off it, you change it.

Be brave OP, your living room is nice, and it is also very safe. This is a change that will really shake things in a totally fabulous way. And if you don't like it, change it!

Just put it up, it is only wallpaper, this is not a think you need to be brave about!

If you don't like it, replace.

I agree a pattern of that scale and regularity needs a biggish wall.

Have you already decorated your kitchen?? I think it's more suited to a kitchen myself.

I like your lounge 😊

It's ok to make mistakes.

I wouldn't advise anyone to paint rooms and ceilings in dark colours. I had a room like that when I moved house and it took a lot of painting over.

JuneJubilee would love it in the kitchen . Esp as i have a 1970s kitchen! But dh says steam will affect it ..

I love orla..I have lots of her stuff! Like you the style of furniture will make it pop. I’d probably do the alcoves due to the fact it’s quite a eye catching design, possibly a bit too much for a whole wall..

Another vote for behind the sofa. I love Orla Kiely!
