Take the wallpaper down now, while it is easy to remove. What are the other paint colors?

White.. you might have a much better time with all white. Maybe a darker painting or color block painting some where of a darker color you like that you can repaint (a canvas art type)

Oh PS... lighting is a really big deal. Take lamps from around your home and stick on stools or chairs to mimic side bed lights.. lighting will change everything. Play with it before you start buying anythinh or painting.. please do.. it will teach you a lot about the end result.

I agree with greenacresmama. Play with it before giving up. I actually like the wallpaper and think it could work well with the right accessories. Ex.

You can't just paint over wallpaper (without prepping it correctly). I would just take it down and repaint. You can put art work there if you want some visual interest on that wall.

Agree, overhead lights are neither flattering to rooms nor people. I like it from what I can see on the monitor.

It's true. Lighting book chapter one; Center overhead lights only are hard to pull off alone. They make the worst case to all faces, decor, and make you feel tired as well. Okay to keep but adding other light sources have a dramatic effect. Using other lights more often for soft mood lighting suggested. Doing overhead lighting for travel packing, cleaning, etc/ good idea.

With nothing else to focus on you have tunnel vision about the paper. You must have liked it when you selected it. Try bringing home some art work for over the bed. purchase sheets in different colors. save the packaging so it can be returned. lay the sheets on the bed to see if color on the bed helps. it looks like you wanted a subtle texture as a backdrop. So use the night stands, lights and bedding as accents for the room. You can also use push pins to place the sheets onto the wall. they may help you decide what color you really want. Is there a professional member of ASID in your area? consider a one hour design consultation. it can keep you from making costly errors and save you time and stress, good luck to you.

Oh great idea! Maybe even a possible big mirror to cover for some time too!

I agree, add two night stands with lamps on them. Do this before doing anything else. It will give you a better idea of what the paper will look like. Both as far as the texture and the actual color at night. Mood lighting will soften the room and will probably show the texture in the paper.

No on the big mirror.

I hate seeing people waste money because they don't know what they're doing. Before I would do anything more, I would get with someone who has some design sense. I would decide if you can make the wallpaper work or not, and then go from there. That person can then help you decide on everything else in the overall plan (bedding, furniture, lighting, etc.) BEFORE you buy anything else that you will regret.
