Alternatives for this wallpaper?

7 years ago

I'm in love with a wallpaper that is way too expensive for my budget (I'm not cheap, but I can't justify spending $750 for a single roll!). We're planning on wallpapering a powder room (the top half, with the lower being wainscoting). We have a navy vanity going in. I love this one for its 1) texture and 2) multiple shades of blue. We're looking for something with a geometric shape. Our style is "modern traditional"... which really means I like clean lines but not sterile.


Here's the link: https://www.wayfair.com/decor-pillows/pdp/schumacher-octavia-paperweave-24-l-x-345-w-wallpaper-roll-tcbj1012.html


Any ideas? I'm willing to do 200-300 a roll if needed (its not a huge space to paper), but not finding anything that comes close to this one :( :(

    Wow. That is gorgeous. Hard to top but I can check around.

    Schumacher is pricey. Probably safe not doing that in a bathroom anyway as if i recall correctly it’s actually printed on grasscloth. I would search “Greek key geometric” . Here are some of my favs that may work. Ignore colors because they come in other color ways i just happen to have these saved in my wallpaper ideabook.

    I'd check the price at Mahone's. https://www.mahoneswallpapershop.com/  

    Always worth a phone call.

    And for an alternative, look at Thibaut and Graham and Brown. And Walnut Wallpaper for a wide variety of interesting papers by various makers.

    Thank you so much pink_peony. Out of curiosity, could you elaborate more on not using grasscloth in a bathroom? I understand not using it in one with a shower (i.e., humidity) but what would be the issue with a powder room?


    I will definitely take a closer look at those options!

  • 7 years ago

    Here are a couple of options (both found on Houzz shopping):

    We've put grasscloth in several powder rooms over the years but it was never tight behind the sink. So more like this

    not closer to the water like this.


    Also, if you do not need much paper, consider checking ebay. Incredible deals on top notch papers and fabrics.

    Thanks Hollybar! Yes, we're planning on doing the wainscoting on the bottom so ours would be just like your pictures...

    I cannot no see that beautiful wallpaper you posted! It is perfect! Would you be willing to add one more color, say a bright green??

  • 7 years ago

    I feel the exact same way Flo!


    Depends what you mean by bright green -- I do like aqua/teal tones but have never been a fan of, say, lime green (like the Houzz logo :p). But yes, open to another color as long as it coordinates with a navy vanity!

    OK, thanks. that gives me some room to see other choices!

  • 7 years ago

    I think I know where Flo is going with this and its probably the same thing I was thinking so Im gonna sit back and watch LOL! I thought you said bathroom. Didn't realize it was a powder room .

    The vertical repeat on the paper is almost a foot. How much space do you have from the ceiling to the dado? I noticed the paper is not trimmed, so more expense added to the install.

    You can try spoonflower.com for a reproduction:

    Be aware that Spoon flower paper has to be installed with an overlap and the match is undercut in other words the paper cant be butt up against each other. so wallpaper installers have to know what they are doing and they will change slightly more to hang this. Also for large orders you must approve it so its best to pay and get the sample first before ordering or they will hold your order and send out sample for approval and wont process but will still charge your card and hold your money for that time.

    I knew we could get Pink over here for you. She has been doing some great things with blues and greens.

  • 7 years ago

    Here’s my update. I ordered a bunch of samples and hate them all :( :(. I may end up ordering the sample of the Schumacher. Ugh!

  • 7 years ago

    It's priced within your budget at Mahone's or am I missing something?

  • 7 years ago

    No I may end up breaking my budget. Mostly because if I’m doing this I feel like I should do this right and not with something that looks cheap and I’ll want to change in 3 years. Just not something I planned to spend so much on.

  • 7 years ago

    Bummer! I typically end up liking the most expensive thing before I know the price and it’s hard to choose something else!!

  • 7 years ago

    Is there a way to only do it on 1 wall?

  • 7 years ago

    Even if I did that there’s a minimum order... so it would be the same regardless

  • 7 years ago

    these from anthropologie sort of remind me of the one you like

  • 7 years ago

    and this one too

    Sorry, Deb, just clicked on the Mahone link. That price was per yard. Duh. I wondered why you hadn't danced a jig yet. (And how Mahone's could offer it so cheap!)

    ETA: Have you thought of a wall stencil? Don't know if you've the dexterity and patience for it but you could probably get an Etsy artist to make you a stencil of this pattern...

    Phillip jeffries may have a woven paper close to it.

  • 7 years ago

    Deb I would consider getting a white grasscloth wallpaper. Even a faux grasscloth wallpaper since it’s in a bathroom. I would order a custom stencil and once you’ve hung the white paper I’d stencil the pattern on it. Stenciled grasscloth looks incredible and it isn’t difficult. There are many online sites that cut custom stencils. This may a way to get the look you want at a price you can afford.

    I love that idea Pink! Will look into that...

  • 7 years ago

    Deb, I was just on Chasing Paper's website and spotted this removable paper. Greek key in navy...only one blue and no octagon but still, might be close enough to consider? Fancy Four Side - 2' x 4' - $40

    Update!


    Here’s what I ended up going with... just installed today!
