Our two reception rooms are pretty square in shape and not large, but with high ceiling. It was built in approx 1910 and its a terraced house that before the single story kitchen / bathroom extension was built on, was simply 2 up, 2 down, if that helps to picture the style of rooms.

The rooms have just been re-skimmed and painted magnolia. I've picked (not bought yet) a teal / magnolia flowery paper and a lovely teal solid colour paper with large textured pattern. What I cant decide is whether to;

a) paper just the chimney breast in flowery paper,
b) paper the chimney breast and recesses in matching flowery paper,
c) paper the chimney breast in the solid colour with flowers in the recesses,
d) paper the chimney breast in flowery paper with solid colour in the recesses.

Any budding interior designers who can advise?

will there be anything in the recesses? A friend has papered the chimney breast and put solid colour in the recesses. Each recess has low table with beautiful tall lamp on. It looks really lovely, but then it would depend on what you are putting in your recess?

Hmmm that does sound nice. The TV will be in one in one room, and the stereo in one in the other room, so now Im thinking matching low chest of drawers in the others, which will also go some way to solving a storage problem we have. Yeah, Im liking it!
sounds nice!
mandi it sounds lovely. I would have the flowery paper on the chimney breast and the solid colour in the recesses, one wall only.
