I picked out a wallpaper that I really like for my new house. I thought I'd install it in the living room which is open to the dining room. The living room section has a very high tilted ceiling with two skylights. I have been told that my new dining room table will not go/flow with the paper and should toss either one. I still think that both would/could look great. I was thinking of also doing wainscoting. Can anyone help? I'll include a photo of the wallpaper against the wall to wall carpet that is in both rooms and the dining table. thanks.
