How can we decorate around this wallpaper pattern?
Hi, we put up some wallpaper on the main wall of our bedroom a couple of years ago and have found it really hard to find bed coverings, accessories, a rug and furniture to tie in with so it's just sort of sitting there and we're at a bit of a loss. It was quite expensive so we're not keen to take it down...yet! As you can see it's quite "busy" and from certain angles, the silver tones reflect light in a cold way. I'm not really keen on the luxe look with its metallics and mirrors; I think that would make it look a bit tizzy and even colder. How can we add warmth and colour but avoid clashes?

8 years agoAdd a lovely upholstered bedhead (in natural linen) to your bed. This will break up the pattern, add warmth and texture to your room. Crisp white linens layered with greys, duck egg blue and natural linen would complement your wall paper perfectly. Stay clear of any patterns. (note photo credit : www.designlibrary.com.au). Hope this helps X

Comments (19)Hi, Could you add a pic of the lounge area outside bedrooms? There seem to be too many palettes of colours within furniture from white tv cabinet to dark brown book shelf to light brown dining to black/blue/beige sitting pieces. Tie up sitting by adding few cushions in possibly black/white/blue combo. Extend sitting area of living through the entire span of AC wall. You need a larger rug for this space. Angle dining table between 30 to 45 degrees with long length between detached counter corner to bookshelf end towards lounge. This will add the flow to lounge. Add a table runner along the centre of the long length. You need larger artwork pics or a collection of art pieces on living room wall behind beige sofa. Lounge can have a console and wall with a composition of family picture frames to personalise space. Remove blue artwork in the last pic. Instead, you can add a composition of wall shelves with artefacts on them or wall hooks with hanging artefacts. Rugs, table lamps, floor lamps and few bold decorative pieces will add the required warmth. A round centre table in the living room can be good....See MoreRug for striped sofa?
Comments (18)So is it a chair and a sofa? If nothing else they are a conversation piece! No one could ever enter your room w/o saying something. I love your idea. But if you are serious, remove the like striped pillow covers, and replace them with plain any colored pillow covers or continue the fun & add a zig zag black & white area rug & one or two more striped items, such as lamps & a painted zebra coffee table. I love it....See Morei am bored with the look of my home!
Comments (26)Hi. It's looking really good and you've done well with the bookshelves! ! I love the new sofa! I would say just a tad more yellow if your husband can bear it, doesn't have to be solid yellow. I'd add something else on the left shelves (I'd move one shelf of photos to the right hand shelving and swap for some books), maybe a ginger jar if you can get an old one. Maybe a patterned throw or cushion for your wooden chair and a small yellow throw for the bench just draped over the corner. Table idea sounds great. Are you happy with it? I think it's made such a big difference...See MoreHow can I hide an existing column in the kitchen
Comments (5)You could use the column for something useful like hanging utensils or cooking tools if you have the height or a towel rack or if you want to just hide it you could put fairy lights on/around it to give a homely feel.my personal opinion would be if there is a ledge you should get some vintage alcohol bottles and put them there as decoration and it works nice in most households.if no ledge just get a wine rack and screw it to the column...See More
