What did you end up choosing Sanyukta? Would be interested in seeing what you chose to go with the greeny-white.

I would definitely paint out timber frames, they in themselves become the feature if you don't…..and I would hope you mean a soft grey! To "hide" skirts and arc's (I renovate and sell for a living) I do them the same colour as the walls but in a satin finish…..you could do semi gloss….a water based enamel works best. Make sure you prep them well though, either a good sand to rough up, or something like ESP. I always thought rule of thumb for a feature wall, paper or paint, is the wall opposite the greatest light source, ie. the wall that gets hit with the most natural light. Failing that, I think it would look lovely on the alcove/bay window wall and do the inset of the alcove/bay window in a contrast….say a soft version of the pinkish hues in the paper??? You seem to have some substantial pieces of furniture, and a piano, so doing the other walls would compete and look overbearing to me. Unless you are going the whole Regency style embossed paper/stripes/pattern everywhere…………...

Can you provide a picture of where you're planning to put the paper vs the paint? I think, myself, that wallpaper should be continuous along the length of the wall, unless there are architectural features that break up the line of sight.

We did,no problems. First find a wallpaper you like in the wallpaper books here in Aus, take note of name, code number and batch then go looking online. We bought ours from a online retailer in Dundee in Scotland. They sent out samples for a small cost, and the cost all together including shipping was a quarter of the price here in Aus!!
