I am looking to decorate my living room and bedroom. both rooms are not overly large with laminate floors. Neither rooms gets a lot of light especially the bedroom. The living room is east facing and the bedroom looks onto a limited slabbed garden with a wall.

I was looking at natural colours for both rooms and putting a wallpaper with speckles of shimmer through it in the bedroom. The living room I was look again at natural coloured wallpaper.

I was concerned that the bedroom would to glittery, like xmas wrapping paper. Has anyone used glitter wallpaper?

The living room central wall where the fireplace is is opposite another wall. Should i put a sparkle or different wallpaper there or should i do that on the wall that faces the window? Or leave it just the one paper?

As you can tell i do not have that artistic temperament which i would love to have.

Any advice would be welcomed.

Not sure what you mean by glitter - I've used wallpaper with a satiny sheen though. But neither seem to go with your natural theme (unless you mean neutral).
I could see paper with some sort of sheen or glitter in a bedroom, on one wall (usually behind bed). In the living room I'd scale it back to only a hint of sheen, and the fireplace wall (or the alcoves either side of the fireplace, or just the fireplace itself) can take a stronger pattern but leave the rest of the walls toning in with it, if light background to wallpaper use that (colour match it at the paint shop).
My own living room is large with equal size dining room separated by wide original glass doors. Ceilings and woodwork white, walls a light mushroom that I colour matched to the background colour of my curtains, and the far walls either end (so windows wall at front and garden glass doors wall at back) are very dark navy which is the darkest colour of my curtains. No wallpaper as curtains are floor to ceiling and quite a strong pattern.
Its toning it all together that brings cohesiveness to a room.
