Is it really horrible?

I rather like it, but I've been staring at wallpaper samples on line for hours and I'm starting to question my own taste.
Our furniture is mixture of mcm and ikea, will this pattern work? Maybe not with that colour.

I should have said, we are a very tight budget and this is only £8.50 a roll.

I like it too.

I like it with that colour!

Oh hooray! I'm not alone!

I think it's really, really dated (even the "modern" designs) and if you're thinking of selling in the near future it will put people off - it has/had a bit of a reputation for covering a multitude of sins so if you had problems with the player etc, it would hide it all. A buyer may think they'd have the additional expense of ripping it all off the walls and replastering.

Damn phone - *plaster

I agree with name change in that it is dated. Is there a reason you need to wallpaper instead of just painting?

Because I want some sort of pattern, but not standard wallpaper.

Not planning to sell until we need to go into a home (40+ years from now hopefully!).

I think it's on its way back in, especially with darker colors.

I like it & the colour.

I love that example in your pic.

Is it really still considered dated given that textured tiles and plaster effects seem to be experiencing a resurgence?

It's dated but that example is not. It would look nice on one wall, especially in a small space (I am now thinking again about our downstairs loo!)

I prefer this pattern on their website.

It's in a lot of period houses (original), is that what you mean by "dated"?

I think it depends on how it's used.

On a feature wall with a strong design and colour I think it can look great.

On every wall in magnolia looks dated.

It's not dated at all and very much in fashion again. Painted in a nice dark colour like downpipe or railings or even a dark green it looks really good.
I do think it works best in a period property with quite eclectic furnishings.

ladypenelope YES!

I have literally just looked at that and now I can't choose.

I love it. Brilliant retro chic.

I think it only works with that kind of colour.

No cream/magnolia/white/salmon

Navy, green, charcoal, royal blue would work.

Hate the second one though ... really 60s

Agree about the colour. I was thinking more teal than navy.

Like the first one.
What's the website?

B&Q!

Another like for the first one!

I prefer the second one.

Worry about Teal unless it's a very very dark teal.

I really think it only works with a very strong dark colour.

So navy, black, charcoal, a really dark red (bit like channel rouge noir), a deep forest green etc
