Need help with dining room wallpaper!
I'm going to paper my dining room but I've never purchased wallpaper before and don't know how much to order. Dining room is 12' wide x 14' long. Wainscot is 40" tall. Ceilings are 10' tall. There is a 36" doorway to butler's pantry on one wall, two large 31" x 72" windows, and a large doorway opening, about 10', to foyer. Paper is sold in double rolls, covering 60 square feet. Any advice is greatly appreciated!

Comments (2)I'm not clear if you've replaced the vanities, which do need replacing if you're going to the expense of new granite, sink, and faucet. I don't see why you'd want to make those permanent, expensive changes based around a design scheme of outdated peach wallpaper....See MoreDining Room Wallpaper
Comments (24)I like the 2nd one by far the best, though all are nice. It just seems to make more of a statement, and hard to see but it appears to have a "gold" flower that would appear in the pattern occasionally. I could see highlighting that with the chandelier you select...such as something shown in the 3rd photo from Maureen. Hoping you do have some nice outdoor light coming through. I love the navy, but ideally maybe find something navy with a "hint" at least of beige or your green as in your other rooms. A historical toile would be nice. Anthropologie has a very cool mural that might work too. So many choices, right?!...See Morehelp decorating dining room. wallpaper is a bit busy.
Comments (1)Sorry I have fat fingers🙄and wasn’t wearing my reading glasses. I’m not sure what to hang on the walls with this wallpaper. Would you also add a floor plant or something else in the corner? Hope to eventually get a new chandelier too....See MoreDining room refresh-wallpaper, table and chairs
Comments (9)RTHawk-yes, I love that wallpaper in Julia's home! I have some saved that are similar but didn't want to overload with too many choices. Sabrina- I do love Strawberry Thief and actually have that pattern on my pillows. And I do also love the arm chairs, the inlay os beautiful BUT the table just does not fit the space. If the end chairs are pulled up to the table there is no room to walk behind. I feel like a circle or even oval table would allow for more space to move around. And while I do love the look of the table, it is a family heirloom and my husband insists on using a protrctive covering and >'d prefer a table thay's npt too precious....See MoreNancy Burke
6 years agoThibaut wallpaper finalists. I like the two on the right. I want something kind of colorful and playful, so I'm leaning toward "Bungalow" on the bottom right. My home has a coastal farmhouse feel so I think it would look really pretty. The top is a pale aqua and would also look great with all the white trimwork in the room, but is less daring, I think.

6 years agolast modified: 6 years agooh gosh yes you can spend a fortune on a good paper like thibault, and thats not even talking about the installer. i'm not saying its not money well spent, but you dont want to be redoing it any time soon, if ever...
i used to buy mid range papers and hang them myself. those were the days... now i have thibault in my dining room and 1. i hope i never get tired of it 2. i'm glad my husband never saw THAT bill.
divide and conquer: how about just papering the wall with the two small windows? it's going to be difficult to 'decorate' that wall with art, having the paper might be just the thing.
