im moving house and the house im moving to has a very large living room. instead of doing the typical one wall with wallpaper. i intend to wallpaper the bottom half of all the walls with the chosen wallpaper above and paint the top half maybe a tan or stone. does this sound nice to you?
with teal blue, cream, brown more of a mocha accessories.
because of the bottom half of the wallpaper being blue should i get a multicoloured rug or patterend instead of plain duck egg blue?
ive only found this one i like so far and its plain! but i think it would go

i have chosen this to go on the wall above my sofa because of painting the wall tan will it be too much?

curtains are plain teal? but im thinking maybe i should break up the wallpaper by getting different coloured curtains not majorly different but something that goes with the colur scheme

this is the first time ive decorated for myself as i never had the luxury of being able to decorate in the home im in now. so be nice please

i have hardwood floors so anything really goes
and lastly does anyone know any good places to get home decor accessories?
thank you!

The wallpaper is very nice. Papering the bottom of all the walls is not strange, though it’s usually just the bottom 1/3 of the wall, and there is molding separating the wallpaper from the painted area. The rug, however, is very dark, and I don’t think it matches the wallpaper at all. In fact, though I like teal, I don’t think it will look right in this room. I think the over-sized daisies painting will be fine. The boldness of the large art piece is tempered by its neutral colors.

Going over your color scheme- you mention duck-egg blue, cream, tan or stone, teal blue, and mocha. The duck-egg blue should be on a rug in the middle of the room to mirror and enhance the wallpaper. From a design perspective curtains frame the windows, and I think a cream color would carry the wallpaper’s impact upward, bridging the top and bottom. Where exactly did you envision the mocha being used?

If I were doing this room, I would want a sofa upholstered in the color of the top of the wall (the tan, or stone). One or two accent chairs in a simple design of duck-egg blue with cream/tan/stone/mocha would enliven the feel. See the two links below for fabrics I think would work for accent chairs. Whenever you go looking for fabrics for this room, be sure to take along a piece of the wallpaper, and samples of your upholstery and paint colors. The visual reminders will prevent your eye from being overwhelmed by the choices.

Don’t use many different patterns, even if they have the same color combinations. And, don’t rush to fill up this larger room with knick-knacks and objects d’art. Keeping the room uncluttered will continue the modern, sophisticated look that the daisies wall art inspires.
