In living room?:?

Question

I have a wallpaper that when painted, it looks almost exactly like stucco. I am painting it using a colorwashing technique. Since it looks like stucco, would it be cosmetically appealing if I used wayne's coating with it also?
The waynes coating is dark wood, trimming around doors, etc., is dark wood, and stucco-looking-wallpaper is a light tan on off white (very pretty by the way...). Would this be okay to put into a living room with pink carpet? Any thoughts?

Also, dont worry about the pink carpet, I'm fairly confident that I can make anything work, I just didn't want my living room to look like a giant office! :)

I posted this question under "Decorating" and nobody answered there--not too many people visiting I guess. Hopefully I'll get some answers there.

correction: my carpet is a very light mauve

Answer 1

If the wainscoting is dark brown, the rug pink and the walls beige, it will look very stark. The contrast between the dark brown/pink/ beige might look like Neapolitan ice cream. I am hoping your carpet is a very pale pale pink... I would have gone with a lighter shade of wainscoting....it will look layered and I don't think it will flow very well....

Answer 2

Go with a wine or light burgandy color and rag it on ..... it will play to the pink (ewww) and blend better than tan / brown and pink ... also consider the waynes coat & wooden trim to go warm white or a creamy white to soften the room.

As long as you don't live with a man ...it will work well.

And .. no I'd hate it ! But I'm not into the pink carpet thing.
