Since you said powder room, that usually means a smaller room. I think a wow wallpaper would be great and fun! But not sure if this is the right scale. Have you played with your measurements to see if it would work?

The wall will be one petal with that wallpaper.

I feel like one rose on a dark background might have more impact.

It's a lakefront house and I really liked this

The room is very dark

Hi like the single rose much more.

What type of wallpaper is it? Removable or traditional/regular? Have you ever removed regular wallpaper before? What kind of look are you going for? How quickly do you tire of your decor?

How large is the room? How is it set up? Does it even make sense for the side walls to have wallpaper?

Possibly simpler alternate idea (to walk you off the ledge ;-)) : paint all the walls and hang a large frame of the wallpaper sample (but again, check scale as others mentioned).

Good thought Tartenmeup!

I say why not - powder rooms are traditionally places where people have fun. I have seen some fabulous ones.

And what is the huge commitment? If you tire of wallpaper - even if it is the "real" kind, just change it. It is a small space and not a huge financial commitment.

However, like others I question whether the actual wallpaper will be too large to be effective on a small wall but it is difficult to see scale from one photo.

Do it with zero doubt. I have a mural in my powder room (3 other walls are regular wallpaper) and it makes me very happy. I got a anti microbial coating added since the mural is behind the sink and toilet.

Helen, maybe I'm terribly unlucky but I still have leftover glue from the PO's wallpaper border in one of my bathrooms. (If only the vanity had that kind of durability :P). Also, don't know about Victoria's option but the wallpaper murals that tempt me end up running close to 1K for a small room. Must admit when I break down the wallpaper option, it daunts me quickly. Not trying to rain on anyone's parade as I love the look of many wallpapered powder rooms.

@Victoria Holloway, forgot another alternative to wallpaper: paint stencil (depending on DIY-ability, etc.). Just sharing in case you want options.

I wish you luck in your decision. Keep pattern scale in mind for best effect and if you go ahead with it, please share your "after" pics!

@tartanmeup - Wallpaper is not the same commitment as tile, floor cabinets or even counters.

If one is worried about "committing" to wallpaper how does one commit to anything else like a sofa? A good sofa is much more than $1000? As is a dining room table with chairs.

OKAY I did this

and now on to the next step, I'm not yet finished

Well, what you shared of the mural looks stunning! Would love to see the whole room.

It's still work in progress, will share the completed room.

Done yet?
