Wallpaper in Entryway

What do you think of how the wallpaper has been placed, both downstairs and upstairs, for this entryway?

@lolakimono -

The placement would be nice if I liked the wallpaper.

I'm usually not a fan of wallpaper, but this is unique and pretty. The design picks up the pattern in the chandelier. The colors are soft even though the design is complex. A lot of thought went into this space.

@lolakimono It is a little too much for me, and my first thought was that the wallpaper matched the chandelier. However, I do not dislike it, but I don't want it in my home.

I don't hate it. I kind of like how the wallpaper compliments the chandelier but the pink wall has to go...and this wouldn't be something I would choose for my home.

It's right in my taste except for the pink. I would have either papered that as well; painted it white too and probably put a same-sized group of black and white drawing prints framed in black alont there; or painted it a gray.

I think the row of prints at the top would be wonderful! Nice black and white drawings, white mats and thin black fames. Not too big and not too many of them.

@Sooner I like the coral color, as it compliments and softens the design element in the wallpaper. However, I think your grey suggestion would be stunning.

@phoenixbrd On my monitor the color is Pepto Pink! LOL!!

I would put that wallpaper anywhere in my house. I would especially love it in a royal blue or navy with navy accents and blue and white ceramics.

I'm thinking in a kitchen or dining room with white built in bookcases with the backs of the shelves painted navy and with books, objects and some blue and white vases in them. Or in a white kitchen with blue and white accent pieces. You could even throw in some red pieces for the holidays or peaches and oranges for fall decor if you are into that.

It's very pretty but the pink wall must go.

I think it takes away from the beautiful woodwork of the stairs.

The pink wall is a little confusing, as well.

Chandelier is cool.

Too "busy".........

The placement is okay. It's that pink wall that's distracting.

I think the wall paper is too busy though.

Memory: In the early 80s my parents had a (rare) anger meltdown while trying to hang wall paper going up the stairs and getting the pattern right. It involved rulers and inches. Not a good memory.

Actually, while I probably wouldn't have chosen it, I like the paper and the placement, but that Pepto pink wall color on the upper hallway is a disconnect.

I think the pepto pink at the top of the stairs ruins the look. They should have continued with the wallpaper there.

I love toile, always have and always will. I love classic wallpaper and especially the colors and papers of Thibaut!

I don't want it all over the house, but especially in bathrooms, dining rooms, and entry areas it can be fabulous, setting a mood and an area of interest and warmth the way no paint can.

The problem is that it is expensive and must be well placed and hung and it is hard to find people who know how to do that. It truly is an art form, and good well designed paper itself is an art. It goes back to the 1700's, and I especially love the French papers and the Asian-inspired designs.

First Impression: Pink wall in the hallway is a huge distraction.

The wallpaper itself is OK and I like the placement, but it's difficult to say this area is pleasing because the pink wall is the first thing I noticed. I would have painted that wall a color in the wallpaper...the background color or one of the lighter brown tones.

I'm seeing a yellowish color on my screen in the wallpaper background and the woodwork. I think the woodwork should be white. It might be white, but it's not showing that way. I think there's too much yellow going on.

I'd prefer a different wallpaper print or something textured with white woodwork. Something on the hallway wall that complements the change in wallpaper.

IMO, overall as it stands, the wallpaper does not present well with the pink wall, so the big picture is a D.
