Well, I am very pleased to announce that I am a Graham & Brown Ambassador for the remainder of 2015. So I will be showcasing some of their lovely things through a set of challenges they have set myself and the rest of the ambassador team.
This month it was their wallpaper of the year for 2015 Northern Rose that we’d been asked feature. When I first saw this wallpaper for me it cried out for me to do a modern take on a country bedroom style. I live in a modern home, but often dream of living in the country in a cottage, and if I did, I would really embrace the country look.

As you can see, the wallpaper has a main colour of a blue, with a pink bramble rose weaving its way through the wallpaper. I wanted to keep this bedroom mood board crisp and light, by only adding a subtle amount of colour in the cushions, the remainder of the items I choose in white. I also picked out the grey/silver of the stem of the rose in the base and headboard of the divan bed. This wallpaper has a real English country garden charm to it, and I wanted that to be the main focus of this mood board. I would add white bed linen and curtains to this look, adding texture in throws and lighting choices. Glass vases with flowers would also keep with fresh look of this design, I think I would be tempted to have a painted floor in the soft grey too, with a large rug that was the same colour as one of the cushions.
So what do you think, is this a look that you would go for?

I really do like that wallpaper! So fresh and clean and certainly very country bedroom like. Makes me feel that I do need to crack on with decorating my bedroom again, but I am hopeless with wallpapering 🙁 Sim x

I’m about to decorate my home office with some lovely Graham & Brown wallpaper and paint. The room is going to look so much better – it’s in need of an update! I love your floral style – I’m going a bit more grey and minimalist myself – sounds awful I know but it won’t be!!

I’ve just got some Graham and Brown wallpaper too, though I’m going for a more subtle french country look. They have an amazing selection!
