Wallpaper advice needed please.

I need to buy some wallpaper for a feature wall in my lounge but could do with inspiration. At the moment its a white background with yellow and grey flowers. My curtains are a check in shades of grey, green and mustard. My floor is laminated but I have a large green rug which I want to keep.

I don't want to change the curtains as they match the ones on the sliding doors in the kitchen and the conservatory and you can actually stand in the lounge and see right through the house so because the kitchen and conservatory are both papered with a similar lemon, mustard and grey scheme I need something that wont clash badly with those.

The paper I have on the feature wall in the lounge is ok but I want something with a bit of a wow factor.

Ive looked in all the usual places, B&Q, Homebase, Dunhelm and a couple of local shops but nothing is saying 'pick me'.

Any recommendations please?

Have a look at https://www.wallpaperdirect.com - they have lots of inspiration and free samples up to a certain qty.

I went with one called Angles for a feature wall (not very MSE in terms of price, but looks fab up)

Wallpaper direct (as above) is good because the selection is huge and you can filter down into styles and colours.

I'd photograph all your main bits (curtains, cushions, rug etc) together and order sample to see what goes. Clashing prints are good, really, a colour palette is definitely better than just one colour. John Lewis has a good range and lots of wallpaper books to see in the flesh. As do Brewers decorators shops.

Mustard is pretty retro.

Sanderson's Dandelion range comes in different colourways, but mustard and grey feature in most.
Scion do lovely prints.
Orla Kiely is also the queen of mustard prints.

Most of my favourite wallpapers are made by Cole & Son. "Woods" has been around for a long time, but you'll find that in single colours, but it has lovely detail so it certainly isn't bland.

Both are quite large and bold - depends on your curtains, really.

Thank you both.
