Help with my guest/craft room decorating ideas

[longtompot]

My ds has finally completed on his first home and has now moved out of his family home bedroom. This room will be a multi purpose room, a guest bedroom and my craft room with some exercise equipment in there too.

Years ago I picked up some Laura Ashley wallpaper for free with an aim to use it one day, and now that day has come, I don't quite have enough for the wall I would like to have it on. It looks like this, pic added but might take a while to show. It's a pale pink stripe with a coraly pinky orange stripe which I think would look nice behind the kallax unit, but I have the one roll, which is also damaged, and the wall is 2m 50cm long so not enough at all if this roll has the usual 10m.

Below is my current ideas for the room, but if anyone has better suggestions I am all ears. I want the room to feel cosy, not too feminine. It faces north and only gets sun at the end of the day. One idea I had was to use the striped paper I have on the window wall as it's only 1m 20 wide, and get the curtains I mention below, but not sure if this would be too much, and then what do I do with the other walls?

My plan is to have the window wall white, with dusky pink herringbone curtains. Under the window is my white ikea desk for mainly my sewing machine, but also for other crafts

The wall to the left faces east, and will have a white 5x5 IKEA Kallax unit and a wardrobe, so any wallpaper will be mostly hidden but we will be able to see through some of the compartments and above (the wall is 2m 30cm high).

The opposite wall faces west and has the door on the right. Between the door and the window wall I will be getting a small sofa bed, Tornsborg from Ikea, in wood and a neutral fabric. Not sure what colour to do this wall. I have bought some bedding, photo added, which is a deep browny black with dusky pink and has ferns and other natural things in the pattern, so would like that to feel part of the room iyswim.

The last wall is opposite the window and has a radiator on it. I'm thinking of keeping this white.

The floor is currently wood floorboards but I will be fitting a neutral plain cut pile carpet, maybe a basket weave pattern or something like that. The door will be a reclaimed Edwardian pine door.

I have ordered some samples from Dunelm to see if I like any in person, but wondered if anyone has any suggestions on where to look for some. I've looked at Wallpaper World website but they didn't really have anything I liked

Could you think about pasting up "panels" of the wallpaper and putting some beading around them? Or finding some nice picture frames and put the wallpaper in those?

I may have watched too many episodes of Chateau DIY Win the Dream

Lots of on-line places will send you free wallpaper samples - you could choose some that co-ordinate/contrast. Stick to something quite simple though as the samples won't be (for example) a perfect tiger/insect image.

@MeetMeAtTheMexicanDisco I could do, but I feel that might make it feel a bit busy when they'll already be a lot of stuff in there, albeit in the cubby holes.
I am thinking that I could just paper above the unit and then paint the wall behind, or use a different paper for behind it?
I almost wish I didn't have this paper and just started from scratch. My original idea was for a yellow and white room with toile de jouy patterned wallpaper on two opposite walls & painted white on the other two

That said, this is rather nice

Why not buy the inserts for the kallax that are doors or drawers, then stick the wallpaper on the fronts so you aren't covering it up?

@Goingincirclesstill I would like the pattern to be to the back not on the doors, but your post has given me an idea. I could cut squares for the back of each cube and attach it to the unit, maybe on squares of cardboard so it doesn't get punctured with holes when things are put in there. Some will have the inserts, just not sure which ones yet.

My local Brewers has a corner dedicated to wallpaper with loads of books to browse.

Would there be enough to do the ceiling perhaps? Or use the part roll to make a massive lampshade?

@MulberryPeony thats a fantastic idea for the lampshade, thank you. I already have one in the room that's quite plain so I could cover the outside. I'm planning on getting some bedside table lamps so if they also have plain shades I could do the same.
I got some wallpaper samples and they aren't quite right for what I have in mind, but might work on the bed wall. My current thinking is use the paper on the top part of the wall and then behind the backs of the units where I won't have the drawer or cupboards inserts, and then buy a couple of rolls one of the ones I got the sample of and hang that on the bed wall, then the other two walls will be plain white and have lots of pictures hung up on them. Hopefully it'll feel a bit different but also relaxing
