In The Mighty Jungle

I recently came across a company called A Shade Wilder, and boy am I pleased I did.  Their products are fabulous.  Something a little different and I can only imagine would be a real talking point if you had any of their products in your home (I'll let you know when I eventually get round to having at least something in my house!).  I requested some samples of their wallpaper and when they arrived, they were even more fabulous than online.  Now my usual black and white style was going to work well with their black and white monkey wallpaper, but I also received the orange/grey version and quite frankly this week I feel like mixing it up!



Treetops Wallpaper from A Shade Wilder

If you do want a less vibrant but still just as WOW factor in this style look at their black/white or dusk version.

Now these designs would be great for a kids bedroom, but seeing as though us grown ups are just big kids anyway, let's put this in the lounge.  Yes I know the rules state a living room should be warm, cosy and inviting but this does not mean we have to stick with red tones and wooden furniture.  We can make this living room cosy but totally quirky.  Besides I have a canvas of a cow and another of the Joker from Batman in my living room.....rules? what rules?

Ok so we have our wallpaper and for the purpose of this blog I'm going with the orange/grey as my focus, they are my current colour combination obsession.  Fortunately clever A Shade Wilder also have cushions available you can mix into this décor including coordinating Monkey's or Zebra's and Giraffe's!  You love this already don't you?!

Mix and match at A Shade Wilder

Their cushions are available in a perfect range of mixing and matching with the wallpapers.  For this I want to go back to black and white, but if you have gone with the black/white or dusk shaded wallpaper, use the brighter colours to add that pop!

 

Don't necessarily wallpaper the fireplace wall as a feature wall, look at doing the facing wall, or the wall opposite the window.  If you do the wall facing the fireplace, then above the fireplace you could look at adding a selection of mirrors, they will then reflect the wallpaper creating their own piece of art.

Let your mirrors reflecdt for added art work

And look who has provided just what I need!  That'd be A Shade Wilder.

Lighting should not be forgotten here and one of my favourites, Rockett St. George have just the piece I am looking for.  Shown here with a fab vase by A Shade Wilder.  Remember sometimes in these blogs it's about showing you what is available, then pick the items you want to include, you certainly don't have to put in everything but I like to show you what you can find out there.
