Is this OK for a whole room?

[Gem8701]

Can you tell me if this would be OK in a whole room?

You need to move the dado and the tv to a sensible height. You're going to give yourself neckache and eye strain with it up there. And I know you said you're not moving the dado, but redecorating the room is the time to do it - and it really does look weird where it is.

As for the wallpaper, it might be ok just above the dado, if the dado were in a sensible position. As it is, it just all looks disjointed and confused.

I'd the house rented?

@Cornflowerandchicory Do you think best to remove the dado all together?

@minidancer No.

I'd say yes its perfectly fine for the whole room. The wallpaper is your personal choice and you like it so go with it. I dont think its too busy..

I'd remove the dado rail

I would but if you want to keep it definitely drop it. You could always do a block colour on the bottom and keep the wallpaper on top so it's less busy.

Looking at the up close picture it looks a sage green tone - you could move the dado rail and put a lovely green paint on the bottom. Picture here to give you an idea of rail placing & general idea (not suggesting this colour for your room although it is amazing!)

@lechatnoir , that one looks very striking.
I'm not a wallpaper person but I could live with one bold room

I definitely think you should go for half and half, however you achieve it

You could lose the dado rail entirely as it’s not serving a purpose and making the room look odd. I get you’ve inherited this and probably don’t want the bother. However it’ll be a much easier room to decorate whichever way you wish. If you’re liking the dado then take it to chair/sofa back height.

I agree, the opposite looks really odd imo.

Can't you get a nice TV cabinet ? 🤔 I know it's fashionable but I always think huge flat screen TVs stuck on a wall look a bit naff.....

I'm still waiting for an explanation of doith, @KnickerlessParsons , please enlighten me.
