I came across this bizarre wallpaper at B&Q.Β It’s by French designer Lutece Jean-Charles De Castelbajac and depicts a manga comic strip where the characters are speaking in French.
I told you it was bizarre.
They allow you to take free samples at B&Q being the rather generous folk that they are, so I took as much as I could get away, with thinking maybe I’d use it for something in the future.Β Looking at the blank frames on my gallery wall, I figured I’d use it there.
I’m quite happy with how it fills in the missing spaces…
Here’s how it looked before…
And what it looks like now…
Subtle but I think it balances the white a bit better on the wall.
And I do like me a bit of random.
I also added a whiskey canister to the mantle and used a couple of glass door knobs just for a little refresh.
Have you used anything a bit random in your decorating lately?Β If so, do tell in the comments so I don’t feel like such a weirdo.
i love the wallpaper! it looks perfect–so creative of you. the entire dining room is so inviting, and i can imagine us sitting at your table sipping and eating healthy quantities of deliciousness.<br /><br />nah. nothin random here. a sheep's jaw in a glass jar, felted wool balls i made from bella luna's leftover wool (hair), and a large canvas just sitting on the floor with: SEND
Oh goodness I love your dining room so much – I know you have posted about it before but i forgot how nice it was! Love your styling – those bottles on the table are so lovely. Can you believe that wall paper is B&Q? Thats so bizarre. It is very cool though and it definitely balances the art wall. <br />Rachie xo
Now I'm going to have to step into my local B&Q and see what they have in the weird and wonderful range. It's the small bits of decorating that I'd like to get good at. This is some very real inspiration for getting on that.
I love how your mind works, Red! The wallpaper looks awesome in your gallery! Love your mantel display too, yours is one cool dining room! <br /><br />Meera xx
