Wallpaper - bring back Laura Ashley 70s/80s style

If you really can't find anything, what about using paint techniques such as sponging?

Many years ago (when I was with exdh) we I decorated the sitting room in our old cottage this way. Several people complimented us on our "wallpaper" !

I too loved Laura Ashley wallpaper. In 1976 DD1's bedroom was decorated in white with a tiny red flower with curtains red with tiny white flower. I also made a patchwork quilt for the cot in these 2 fabrics plus plain red and plain white. Thank you for reminding me of that! I used several others at different times.

Ooops!

Umm!! Don't the bigger Laura Ashley stores still sell wallpaper?

OMG - this has brought back a memory of my first marriage. In one of his many jobs there was a rather nice house as part of the deal. The previous occupant had spent a fortune doing it up, fairly recently. The bedroom was all done in grassgreen LA wallpaper with a tiny white flower pattern. Including the ceiling.

I saw some nice LA wallpaper on line before Christmas in their clearance sale worth having a look gadaboutgran

I had one wall of our bedroom in la white with a tiny brown flower

I also used to buy her curtain fabric remnants to make pinafore dresses and dungarees for the DDs when they were little. AAAAAh!

I loved the original LA generally and did a whole house with it once and wore the dresses all the time. I had a paper called Rambling Rector in my bedroom (its a rose I believe). LA prints were so popular and a now its all Cath Kidson which I find rather loud and lacking in sublety - Yes bring back Laura Ashley as the lady herself designed it. Sanderson had some lovely WM Morris prints in a similar style.

Cath Kidston does some pretty wallpapers. I made a patchwork quilt (started in the early 80's) from Laura Ashey fabrics....such pretty designs.

I have always dreamed of having a bedroom with LA sweetpea paper all over. Better half loves "Grand design" type of house, and looked horrified the other day when I talked about the sweetpeas coming into our newly constructed bedroom! Managed to convey that I was only joking before he lost his ability to breathe, but have a secret longing despite LA no longer making this lovely pattern.
We lived in a Victorian terraced house, with LA from top bottom - it looked so right, rich and warm. Loved LA, and some of their papers are still worth a look.
