look on eBay you might find a paper you like on there, ppl sell anything these day even unused wallpaper when they have bought too much, just a thought |

Dont rule out B&Q..they do quite a few nice stripes..
Horizontal stripes give a calming effect, vertical/diagonal give a more vibrant feel.
Get the paper first then match the paint to it..there are far more colours available and you will limit your choices massively if you try to match a paper to paint..one word o caution, if you go for matt finish dont use Dulux..what used to be vinyl matt is now just plain matt emulsion..you cant wipe it..it will come off. |

Seems that they are on self destruct since Akzo took them over..products and prices are ridiculous. |

i already have the paint - is the same as it is now - just going over - just considering papering the back wall ( which i think i can now afford  ) - sent off for samples - see which i like - all my accessories are the right colours so dont want to change those - love my jade room  |
