Is this too whimsical for an adult bedroom?

It would be going in a small alcove that has sage green shiplap panelling so it would just be the top half. The bed head and side tables sit in the alcove.

I love the colours and the fact that I can tie in yellows, greens, blues and pinks with it.

The disney is putting me off but I think it's subtle? Like upmarket disney hotel?

I've got a sample and it's lovely in real life.

It's the sugared almonds version in talking about.

I don't like it at all, the Bambi really puts me off.

BUT - it's your home and your room, do what you like.

Who will be using the room?

Will you be giving guided tours?

If the people using the room are happy, who cares what anyone else thinks?

My house was built around 1898, the walls are wonky and the rooms are small but it has high ceilings on both floors.

I love it. I like my decor to match the style of my house.

I think I'm going to use it. It gives me the vibes of old floral victorian paper with a twist of whimsy modern for my personality.

Thanks everyone.

My bedroom has a panda quilt, panda, panda related ornaments and a canvas of a panda in a pink jacket above the bed. If you love it have it.

Love the flowers the Bambi bits not so good , and I love Disney . How about something like this https://www.worldofwallpaper.com/elsie-floral-wallpaper-cream-world-of-wallpaper-af0045.html

I definitely wouldn’t have it but then my house is all deep navy and black. So our tastes are just very different. If you love it why not?

This!

I don’t think so, my mine and DHs room doesn’t actually look that different to our kids rooms. I love those coloured window sun catchers and stuff like that. Your room is your space and I think you should express yourself with your decor. If you can’t have the bedroom you want what can you have? It’s not like your hosting in there unless you’re swingers, and even if you are swingers shouldn’t be judgmental of decore.

Go for it! 😍

Not for me, but you go for it, OP! I hope you live many happy years in your little house with your cute wallpaper.

They are some really lovely designs 😍

I love the hawthorn stripe and the hawthorn blossom ones..

But you’ll be in there most of the time. Embrace your whimsy!!

I like the pattern without the Bambi! I'm sure there's something very similar without, if you're not sure about committing to the Disney element.

Unless you're planning to sell your house imminently then have whatever you want.

I would suggest not inviting people to tell you they don't like it as it might put you off. Trust your judgment.

Im glad youre going for it!

I think in your cottage it will be perfect & you love it! I doubt when he gets a chance to be in there your DP won't give a flying what wallpaper you have & as for friends staying, they know & love you for who you are, so I'm sure they'll think it's fab for you (even
if they wouldn't choose it for themselves)

id love it if you updated the thread with some photos when it's done 👍🏻

Love the flowers…not so much Bambi 🤷‍♀️

If it were ‘real’ woodland animals I might feel differently, but this is so obviously Bambi that I just couldn’t.

I think life is way too short to worry about what others think of your home decor. Your home is your sanctuary from the outside world and should be filled with things that fill you with joy ☺️

H and M have some items in this pattern. They have cushions, storage boxes, blankets and duvet covers. Worth looking into those as a cheaper and less permanent way to add the whimsy than the wallpaper?

If you love it do it! That's all that matters.

I like it but would go for one of the other colours. No point trying to tone it down through a bland background colour

Each to their own, but I like the colour OP chose the most

Go for it, my living room is hot pink with walnut boarding with trailing plants all over it, and hot pink wisteria - it's my house so it's to my taste! My bedroom is painted metallic rose gold, it's my sanctuary as your bedroom should be yours, and reflect your tastes

Agreed

Bambi is the issue for me

It isn't Bambi what makes it whimsical, without Bambi it's just fairly ordinary wallpaper with butterflies?💁🏻‍♀️

The best thing about having an adult bedroom is you can have whatever you like. Our bedroom has fairies stencilled on the walls, ivy vines pinned to the ceiling and fairy lights trailing from the shelves. This is our place, we make the rules.
