raspberry Posted February 22, 2013 Share Posted February 22, 2013 Hey everyone, I'm having a hard time deciding on my kitchen wallpaper... I was wondering if you all could help? Option #1 - Green Stripes Option #2 - Solid-y Green Option #3 - *If it matters, (because you can see the kitchen through the dining room, or maybe they should coordinate)... the dining room is going to be half this, half solid ivory, (or the stripes if thats not in the kitchen) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Contrary Housewife Posted February 22, 2013 Share Posted February 22, 2013 Stripes. #2 and 3 are too busy, IMO, for a kitchen. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dalesq Posted February 22, 2013 Share Posted February 22, 2013 Stripes, possibly no. 2 as well. Nothing stops you from using the stripe in the kitchen and as the lower wall covering in the dining. When trying to coordinate papers it always helps me if I can see it in the rooms, so sometimes I'll just lean it in there and then get back from it to get the color combination effect. Many times I've been surprised by how a paper that looks okay flat next to another will look too dominate or busy or even weak stood up next to ones in adjacent rooms. Go with what looks pleasing to you. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
raspberry Posted February 22, 2013 Author Share Posted February 22, 2013 The only thing stopping me is the $! It's rather $$ (in my book) for this wallpaper, $2 per sheet)... plus a $6 flat rate to ship it... I don't have #3 in a stash, so I can't compare...but I can set up #1 to see how they would look...

Songbird Posted February 23, 2013 Share Posted February 23, 2013 I like number 2, would pick up the darker green in your dining room wallpaper. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
raspberry Posted February 23, 2013 Author Share Posted February 23, 2013 Could I do the stripes, and then put the darker green inside the sticky-out bay area? Or is that too many "prints"? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dalesq Posted February 23, 2013 Share Posted February 23, 2013 Bays can be papered separately from the rest of the room, of course, you'd want it to be compatible. If you do something like that, set the bay off with trim. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
havanaholly Posted February 23, 2013 Share Posted February 23, 2013 You could do a chair rail in the diningroom with the print above and the stripes, #1, (or solid ivory) below and in the kitchen on the walls you can see from the diningroom; use #2 and on the ones you can't see from the diningroom. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
raspberry Posted February 23, 2013 Author Share Posted February 23, 2013 So no-one likes #3 huh? That was my favorite too... I guess I'll put it in my study... I like the stripes and the print...I think I will lean towards all stripes... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GirlPiper Posted February 23, 2013 Share Posted February 23, 2013 I think 3 is pretty, too, but not for a kitchen. That would be great in a bedroom,or hallway. It depends on what era/style you are invoking, too. Prop them up,let it sit overnight and look at it again tomorrow. It'll come to you.

havanaholly Posted February 23, 2013 Share Posted February 23, 2013 I love #3 for a bathroom or above wainscots in a hallway or bedroom. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
raspberry Posted February 24, 2013 Author Share Posted February 24, 2013 The style of the house is going to be "shabby-chic"/eclectic...so a hodge-podge of designs with a very feminine touch. I think I will stick with the #3 for my study...(the 2nd bedroom will be more of an office-y area). I made my decision and I wallpapered...I put up the picture in the gallery so you can see what I decided to do. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
