OR if you wish then please do send me links of any other wallpapers which you think would look good on a fireplace wall (with a modern fireplace); possibly something that goes with black/brown carpet.
thank you.
if you must use any of these wallpapers, i would use the cream and brown one. try to get a deep cream paint to match ( try this colour from the dulux range’ code – S 1005-Y50R ). my own preference would be to paint the feature wall with a darker colour than the other walls.
I’ve had a lot of experience living with wallpaper through the years. I rented for over 20 years as an adult and we seemed to move every few years. I’ve learned a few things" Wallpaper goes out of date quickly. It is usually pretty taste specific which would mean you will be limiting your buyer potential if you sell in the next few years. It starts looking worn and dirty…I don’t know how quick but it always looked worn and dirty in my rental homes. Are you sure you want to go that route? I think that painting that wall with a bold color would be very eye catching and help the fireplace to stand out and "pop" as they say. Paint is a whole lot easier to cover up and change than wallpaper is, too.
