Decisions Decisions

Renovating is mostly fun but it can be rather stressful too. So many choices! Sometimes I wish there was just one shop and once you got there, only one choice. Browsing for wallpaper or tiles (or whatever it is) is fun but the closer you get to decision time the more nervous you become. "What if I choose the 'wrong' one?" You can always redo it of course but it takes money and time.

So we need your help!

On today's menu is wallpaper for our bedroom. We have narrowed it down to four options (plus a few extras).


Option 1

Extravagance from Harlequin (Midbec), close up:



and on the wall:



Option 2

Egerton from Cole & Son's Collection of Flowers:


Option 3

Ludlow from Cole & Son's Archive Traditional Collection. On the wall:


and close up, either in gold on bluish grey or silver on grey:




Option 4

Another way to go is to go for a more "daring" wallpaper (I don't mean completely crazy but one which perhaps will be a bit too much if all walls are wallpapered) on a selected area of the room. Backdrops (fondvägg) are apparently out now so my idea is to wallpaper only the part of the wall just behind the bed. I think I'd want to the whole wall from floor to ceiling, as in the second picture here and not just the headboard as in the first picture.



I wouldn't want our wallpaper to continue up in the ceiling though but I think you get the general idea. The rest of the walls would be painted in white or light colour to match the chosen wallpaper.



The wallpaper I'd choose for if we went for this option is this one, Lilac from Cole & Son's Collection of Flower, either in a brighter or softer version. This wallpaper is pretty pricey so I wouldn't have in the whole room for that reason too. The real wallpaper is much more silvery/metallic than appears on Cole & Son's page.
