Is this wallpaper suitable for a living room?

We have blue and gold furniture and walls painted blue just now . I find it too cold and unwelcoming. Can’t afford new furniture. Was thinking this in main wall and a deep pink on remaining walls. Any other suggestions?

That is gorgeous, although I would have it in my bedroom. If you search for wallpaper on Facebook you will suddenly get ads for lots of companies that might have something to inspire you. Alternatively there is a thread running about beautiful wallpaper.

Of course. Love it.

Sorry, but I think it is horrid.

Agreed

Too busy for me

@LittleCarrot12

no reason why you can't have it in the lounge if you like it. It seems bedroom-y because that's how they've used it, that all.

MumChp · 14/04/2024 01:13

If you like? Then yes!

NiceNiche · 14/04/2024 02:39

I think I’d have to see pictures of your furniture, particularly the colours, as I can’t see how blue would go with that wallpaper.

I do love the wallpaper though. A PP mentioned the wallpaper thread, that’s a great reference tool.

urbanbuddha · 14/04/2024 02:46

It’s fine. But for me I think I’d colour match the background green for the other walls though.

Riverlee · 14/04/2024 02:52

Nice paper, but I agree it’s quite ‘busy’ and very green for blue furniture.

LynetteScavo · 14/04/2024 04:12

I have a very stylish friend who would totally have this in her living room. You'd need to style the whole room though, to avoid it looking too busy/messy.

Woahthehorsey · 14/04/2024 06:54

I love it

Janetime · 14/04/2024 06:55

I’m not a fan to be honest, but I think if it was on one wall it could work, doing the whole room would be too much.

Guavafish1 · 14/04/2024 06:55

yes

Volbeat · 14/04/2024 10:35

What shade are the deep pink walls and how does the blue and gold furniture match them cos I struggle to see that working

ButtonMoonLoon · 14/04/2024 10:53

I think the blue and green would clash.
Can you post a link to the furniture colours?

Something like this might work, but for me, that would depend on how much natural light there is in the room.

SendmetoWales · 14/04/2024 10:58

Yes, please post a pic of your furniture so that we can see the whole picture

longtompot · 14/04/2024 12:11

Not sure why posters think this wouldn't go with blue. I think it's an interesting wallpaper and looks a bit like it block printed with all the lines and textures. There is a photo in the comments about two months ago with it next to a navy blue wall so you might not need to repaint the other walls. Though a link would go with it too but I think that might make it feel a bit more bedroomy.

Alittlefrustrated · 14/04/2024 12:34

I think ir could look lovely OP - what shade if blue is your furniture?

Fannyfiggs · 14/04/2024 12:36

I'm interested in seeing your blue and gold furniture too OP. I cannot imagine it in my head at all.

BCBird · 14/04/2024 12:38

I.like it

Alchemistress · 14/04/2024 12:46

It depends on the shade of blue and what is the dominant colour in your scheme. I would say you need a deep inky blue to draw that together and make it feel more considered if currently you are matching your blue to the blue in the wallpaper

stillplentyofjunkinthetrunk · 14/04/2024 13:03

I'm not totally sure whether you're thinking of the sage or navy version - I like this but would go with one of the other colours for the painted wall(s) personally I'd go with the duck egg blue or green.

It’s nice but too busy for a living room
