These are things I've bought so far...

Room is painted green on all walls. Wardrobes painted in matching green

White ceilings with coving around the top.

Ornate ceiling rose with gold light fixing.

Gold table lamp with fuschia lampshade

Fuschia cushions

Politebdisclaimer : IF YOU DON'T LIKE ANY OF THIS PLEASE DON'T TELL Me I HAVE TO CHANGE IT. I'M NOT RETURNING ANYTHING 😋😀

I need a wallpaper to tie it all in together.

And a rug. And bedding.

Any suggestions?

I really like your picture.

I'm also redecorating a bedroom at the moment and want green wallpaper.

There's not a great selection out there - it doesn't seem to be a trendy colour and what there is is all jungle patterns.

I'm thinking of going just stripes.

Flooring and coving.

Ceilings are 10ft and large windows.

Yes everything has leopards or birds in it. Or just giant leaves.

Does it have to be green wallpaper.
How about a dusky pink or a more neutral

Sorry I didn't make it clear.

I'd like a mostly pink wallpaper.

But that maybe picks up the green a little.

Could you ( or your decorator, it’s high up) paint the cornice in a contrasting colour. That would tie it all together without the wallpaper element , a ‘feature wall’ doesn’t look particularly in keeping with you very classically proportioned room. A soft pink with beige tones would work well. ( I’ll try to find one ).

Could you add a mixed green and pink cushion to break things up a bit as well? Have you bought the curtains? If not, you could add some colour in there too.

That is Zoffany, but you get the idea. Valspar do a good range of colours with free shade cards.
The fabric is Morris Golden Lily. The paper is from the Rug Seller. ( I’ve a bit of a thing for Chinoiserie at the moment, more subtle than jungles but still varied colours)

Oh I can't paint up there. I like the idea but I just wouldn't be able to do it neatly.

Considering these and maybe returning the fuschia pillows

Fabulous designs and 20% off with code LEAPYEAR20

You think I'd I ditched the bright pink and stuck with blush and mulberry tones this would work?

I wouldn't do anything until you've sent off for samples (maybe lots!) as the colours on the screen won't look exactly the same in your bedroom. I also think it's hard to judge he size of a pattern until you see it for real. Good luck!

I ahve to wing it I'm afraid. I don't have enough time to wait for samples as it need to be done this week.

If you can get to a stockist, they'll probably have sample books so you can at least see it up close. https://www.grahambrown.com/uk/pg/gnb-stockists/

IWantYourLaptop · 24/02/2024 13:50

Oh brilliant. There's one quite close. I'll go and have a gander. Thankyou!

You could still keep the fuscia cushions with this one.
