Feature wallpaper- not fashionable any more?

[DIddled]

I am planning to decorate an upstairs bedroom and have three rolls ofwallpaper-I was going to do a single wall in it- is it still in vogue or are plain walls the way to go?

I still love feature walls don't care what anyone thinks, I have a new build and everything looked too clinical and boring before, now it feels all homely. If you like it go for it.

I'm hoping to move this year and I'll be doing feature walls. I don't care about if its still fashionable, my home is for me.

I think it's a bit dated but you are living in the house not me. If you aren't intending to sell soon, do what you want.

I love a feature wall :) I am clearly tasteless.

People are put off feature walls because they were so overused on tv makeover shows, not always to great effect. In reality, I think they can look great. There are some beautiful papers that just don't work as an allover thing in an average sized house but can look amazing as a feature. I say go for it!

Depends on the wallpaper. Some are a work of art.

If you want to keep up with trends, avoid.
If it's just for you and you like it, go for it.

Feature walls are very dated now, yes.

But it's upstairs so it won't matter

very dated and not to everyone's taste.

but YOU live there, paint it in purple stripes if you want!

In the nicest possible way, who cares?

It's not like it's irreversible.

Yes. But still the right paper and the right wall could look great

Depends on the wallpaper.

Who says what is ok or not? It is your house, do it how you want

I think they're a bit dated too but go for it if you like it!

It's the Laura Ashley kimono paper- very sark grey with a gold pattern, I like it so sod it I will try it. Thanks for your opinions.

Sounds lovely. I do love a feature wall, just done our lounge with a stunning vintage pattern, why are people saying its dated?! Am I missing something?

I am using Dulux nutmeg white on the other walls- to warm it up a bit, but now concerned that having a dark colour on the far wall might shrink the room, which isn't that big anyway!!

Link to paper? [nosy]

I have feature walls although mumsnet decree this bad. I am in the process of redecorating but some feature walls are staying. I love paper and hate too much painted plaster. I also don't like things hung on walls which in any case are purely a matter of taste & will date along with everything in your house.

I still think that if you have a paper you love & it would overwhelm in a whole room then go for it. It's more important IMO to keep the room light so be careful what you go for in a smaller room.

I posted the same topic recently but didn't get much response and had already decided to keep feature wall in one room but circumstances meant I had to do the whole adjoining room. Decorator arrives tomorrow. I hope it's going to look good!

I like them in my house, and don't care if the wisdom of Mumsnet says everything should be greige.

I like them and dont give a shit if they are out of fashion. I have to look at it every day so will choose what I like! I wouldn't do it in every room but I like my house to he very different all over. My lounge is going to have this paper with mauve-grey for the other walls. I saw it snd liked it so that is what I am using!
