I’m officially in love with this wallpaper. It’s bordering on an obsession.

I am head over heels. It’s pretty full-on interior lust, but oh, seriously, what a statement this wallpaper could make. I can’t tell you how many times I wish I had another room to decorate when I see something like this. I itch to get my wallpaper pasting table out!

The obvious, of course, is to put this in the downstairs toilet which always deserves something special to delight the unexpected visitor and keeps their eyes rolling while doing their business.

But I’m thinking bigger and better for this; if you’re going to pick something that makes a point, it shouldn’t always be hidden away in the loo. Dining room, tick. Fantastic in a dressing room, tick. For a DIY project you could decorate the back of a shelving unit, a new giant paper living room lampshade or use this to up-cycle a folding screen into something quite fabulous, tick. Bedroom, tick tick tick.

Let’s take a look at the colour combos and some key pieces that could make this shine.

Dining room.

Use this wallpaper with a beautiful green ceiling and dark trim from Little Green – their Sage and mid-Brunswick greens go beautifully – to create a really cosy eating space. Or if you want to add a bit more creaminess to the mix I love these two colours from Farrow-Ball the Skimmed-milk-white or Ash-grey would work really well. Paint the ceiling and trim the same lovely colour skimmed-milk-white with the skirting in the Ash-grey to take your eye up.

Add an amazing antique table – this one is a large antique farmhouse table, C.1900 from 1stDibs and is rather special but you can find others that bring in that sense of having been used for celebrations and dinners over the years.

Don’t forget a few lovely accent accessories to pull it all together. I’ve picked a few from Liberty: Linen napkins from Once Milano, a Love Handles Vase by Anissa Kermiche and a really soft red glass Olympia Glass candle holder by Anna & Nina. Red is always a great colour to touch a dining room with as it’s a colour of passion and what else could be much more passionate that fabulous dinners with friends and family. Good food and good company.

Dressing room

So I know most of us, at least in the UK, don’t have the luxury of a dressing room but one can always imagine. I do goo-goo over the large walk-in dressing room closets that are showcased across most of the USA house revamp shows and always wonder why they don’t add a little more than just the obligatory crystal chandelier and ballet pink poof or chaise lounge.

I know the clothes are the stars and a simple background helps them stand out but between the stark white shelves there is always a moment for a little va-va-voom. I think this wallpaper could be just the answer because it is so complex and yummy and can hold its own against a strong cold white.

DIY projects for everyone

If you don’t have a completely separate room to use purely for dressing and displaying clothes, like most of us in the UK, but want to create a partition between your clothes rail, drying rack and the rest of the bedroom well look no further because wallpaper and a quick DIY weekend job can create a super easy divider that looks a million pounds. All the directions you need here. Or find a used one on Gumtree or eBay and start redecorating!

And do not forget about lampshades. Again, you might be in a flat and can’t possibly think about wallpaper but you love this print as much as I do – it would make an amazing lampshade. What a statement if you go for oversized in your living/dining room or bedroom. Again, this print works with white so this could be a great way to bring a unique touch in. I know this DIY trick has been around for ages. But good ideas are never bad as long as you really go for it and own it as your personal style.

Bedroom

I’m going to suggest moving towards the blue-green tones and adding a rich old orange to add some of that bedroom passion in. Mix this up with beautiful white sheets on a statement bed and you’ll have a room you won’t want to leave.

Paint is from Farrow & Ball: Blue Ground and Archived Orange

This amazing campaign bed is an original from Max Rollitt – again, another antique but if it’s out of budget use it as inspiration. There is a reason these beds are still making an impact and it’s because they were beautifully designed to last.

Good sheets will make all the difference for your sleep as well as make sure your bed is a knock out. I can highly recommend Dip & Dose who “sell the highest quality, sustainably sourced and ethically produced products at a genuinely fair price.” Ultimately good sheets from a company trying to do the right thing. Makes them even better.

Let me know if you end up using this. It seems to be selling out fast so if anyone has dived in for a bit of a Ramayana wallpaper obsession like me I’d love to see the results!
