OK! Further to my last post asking for help picking paint for the girls’ bedroom I got some samples and painted them against the wallpaper.
My feeling is that the colour on the top left (dark cream/light coffee) is too dark for the paper and the white makes the paper look dirty. The colour on the bottom (buttercup) is just the wrong shade. That leaves the lilac on the left and the dusky pink on the right. I’m leaning towards the pink but I do like the lilac too.
The dark pink on the bottom? That’s the colour the bottom half of the room is just now. It was my choice and I absolutely loved it at first, but it’s such a small room that it’s overwhelmed by the pink.
What say you? My gosh, this interior designing malarkey is hard work isn’t it?

i agree with the pink choice and also adore the paper.
Yup love the paper, go with the dusky pink x
Dusky pink FTW!
I agree – dusty pink!
Gorgeous paper! If you go with the dark/cream light coffee(maybe a tad lighter), you can do pink accents around the room – pillows, bedding, lamps – that would add that “POP!” factor.
Yes, dusky pink is best
Although I’m not a fan of pink I’d have to say that the dusky pink works best.
ok totally outvoted but i really like the lilac!!
I actually like the cream on top best…
Pink
The cream on top is lovely but you’d need a lot of white in the room to even it out. The pink on the right is also lovely x
Love that paper! I’d think the pink, but I like it with the coffee cream too.
The pink! I actually think the lilac is so much worse than the white.
The one on the right – for definite

I vote for dusty pink from your choices. Looks lovely!! But I think I’d have gone with the cream on top myself, maybe a shade or two paler. It’s hard to tell from a picture though. Good luck, love!
try a colour called Mellow Mocha – it is kinda inbetween the lilac and the pink as it can look both! Worth a try
