Love it or hate it?

 

I love white (or shades of white) walls.  I’m a bit wary when it comes to colour and patterns and I don’t really like wallpaper.  The long hallway as you enter the bungalow is white and decorated quite simply with a big round mirror and three abstract framed prints.  This leads into a large inner hallway where I have a console table and my prized Tang horse.

 

long corridor leading to inner hallway

In a moment of madness I ordered a forest mural for one of the walls.  I wanted to add some interest and a flavour of the Far East as a suitable backdrop to the horse.  

 


 


 

I love the result, a bit of a surprise as you turn the corner.  Paul says he will probably get used to it in time.

    That forest mural is a delight and sets the tang horse off beautifully.

    You should have been an interior designer Sue. Splendid.

    Your mural is fantastic and the tang horse works well too. I love your long hall way and large framed prints too. All very nicely done.

    It certainly is 'bold', and makes for a great background for the Tang Horse.

    I love it! Much more interesting than plain white! I wish my husband would agree to me painting 2 opposing walls in our front room a darkish green....it would make such a difference.

    Contrast and pattern are good, but they take a certain bravery - and eye. I too am quite timid - as a painter I was never a colourist - but you have chosen well I think. And I love the horse!

    That is fabulous Sue - it really sets the area off very nicely. Is it hung in sections like wallpaper?

      Yes, there were seven pieces to hang, all conveniently numbered.

    I love the Gallery effect in the hall but that wall paper is truly inspired. Gorgeous without being obnoxious.
