Buying wallpaper.

Got a headache :(

I want to decorate DD's room (shes 17)

She's picked some new bedlinen which is kind of leopard-ish print with flashes of pink/yellow/blue.

Sounds vile but its quite nice:D now i can't find any wallpaper:eek:

The idea is to paper the 3 difficult walls in silver (found that in Wilko's) and to have a feature wall along where the bed goes as she leans against that wall. So it needs to be durable & dark-ish in colour. It will be accented with hot pink as the sheets & carpet are already that colour.

We've looked at the photographic styles of wallpaper in the likes of B & Q, Homebase, Wilko's and can't find anything she likes.

Is there anywhere else i've missed?

    If she has some idea of what sort of design you can even just google keywords -
  • Hi, I would agree loracan1 and browse wallpaperdirect. You can get a few free samples on their site too. Have bought wallpaper from them several times with no problems :) If you find what you like always worth hunting Ebay for the same thing cheaper!
