WALLPAPER HELP!
My wall color in my bedroom is Silver Chains)Benjamin Moore). My bathroom off this room is white, with a tan/beige floor and shower. I need a wallpaper that will make the rooms flow..but I also like color and a current look. Any suggestions? I'll post 2 papers I like but am open to any others...please help..I can't go to another wallpaper store!

judyg Thibaut…you're looking in the right direction. Are you leaving the sink and mirror? I don't think the first paper is quite right if you do keep them.

How about a color on the wall, just because the vanity is dark, and have the silver as an accent in the paper. Like this pattern:

njmomma I disagree with the above poster. I think the first paper would look great in the bathroom with that vanity and mirror.

Michelle What is the color of your bed linens, curtains etc? If you don't have any blue in the bedroom, the second wall paper will look weird and the rooms won't flow.

Michele Griffin I'm willing to to paint the vanity and change the mirror. My bedroom is very neutral, gray/cream bedding...

olldbobbi I like the first paper you chose, and also the paper shown by Lkristine. I would definetly paint the vanity and mirror frame, perhaps you could choose a color from the wallpaper you pick.

kitchenbathdesigner i like the 2nd wall paper so there arent too many colors. this way you can concentrate on the blue with accents. paint vanity with something in a light grey or almost white in a cool tone. add some dark blue towels and accessories, maybe change the knobs to a cobalt blue glass knob or something that helps tie everything together. same with bedding and curtains if going that far with the redecorating!

Michele Griffin I'll add to my bedroom whatever it needs to get the two rooms to flow. Each paper is so different...either very neutral or big contrast. I'm still perplexed. I like the paper from lchristine but I'd like to go a little more masculine as my husband shares this space as well....thoughts?

Michelle Since your bedroom is very neutral, If you chose the first wall paper, your two rooms will flow together perfectly if you simply add some toss cushions, towels and other decorative accents in beige, blue or grey.

Judy M I saw the first paper and thought hmm, nice. Then I saw 2 paper and my heart skipped a beat.

That paper might just be the one that would make me change my 1/2 bath wallpaper ( that I have loved for about the last 10 years and still like a lot).

I have no idea if it goes with the rest of your stuff but I would be willing to change my stuff to go with it!
I love it.
