You can borrow wallpaper books from suppliers and compare some you like by holding the samples up to your walls. Be sure to test how well they complement each other at different times of the day under different light conditions. I know it's hard to know for absolute certain how a particular wallpaper pattern will look on a large scale, but it's a place to start. And the people at the decorator stores will be happy to advise you.

Yeah. I agree with Hayley. Upload it into an ideabook and then i think you can use colour picker

To be a voice of dissent, have you considered soft greens or green-grey? I've got Baltic Pine floors, pine cabinetry, stainless steel appliances, and black tiles in a BRIGHT west-facing kitchen. I went with Taubmans Swiss Meadow double strength and it compliments all the different elements. If you don't want something "obviously" green, check out Taubmans Alpine Snow (double) - it seems to change colour in different light. It's a pale green in full daylight, but looks soft grey at night.

@dreamer yes I was thinking a simple timber balustrade would look better than a more modern one. we are planing on putting a covered deck off the back with a similar balustrade too. @fianou Luca I love fixed upper. They were the reason we bought this house as I could see the potential. it is much harder than it looks go bring a look all together. I was contemplating painting the brick lighter like a wash but to scared to vomit incase it looks terrible and it is an expensive job to do. I was even thinking of putting shutters on the windows downstairs to give the front some texture
