Lust Object: Chartreuse Wallpaper

I am obsessed with this Graham & Brown pattern and am thisclose to ordering it for my office-to-be in a home that I do not yet own (we’re still contract-ing).

Question for you: if you were to put this paper on one wall in a room, what color would you do on the other three walls? I’m leaning towards some shade of white so as not to get too crazy with it – that paper is crazy enough – but am open to suggestion.

Update: Very pale dove grey, yes – and I love JulieGirlie’s suggestion to add some bright pink peonies.

    that’s pretty but in small doses of course! i’m kind of obsessed with cocktails that contain chartreuse as of late. apparently only a couple monks know the recipe at any given time! tres chic!

    oooh how about putting the wallpaper on the ceiling (uhm, although wallpaper-ing is a pain in itself so it might be 10x more annoying ha)?  and i’d go with gray for the walls and all-white furniture!  the gray won’t be too dreary if the room gets a lot of light.  

    yay house!

    Pale Grey!!!! Looks like there are lots of shades to choose from in that paper too. :)

    Gray – light to medium.  I think the darker but not too dark, with white furniture.

    Be really careful with grays. I speak from experience – many shades that look perfect on the swatch skew lavender on the wall. Do lots of tests in all different lights!

    I love the color and pattern!  I would try a light grey that is able to project light. Mostly white furniture with some black or dark charcoal pieces would look nice.  Have fun!

    That is gorgeous! My current office is painted completely bright yellow and it’s such a fun, sunny shade for a room in which you have to work.

    Light grey – yellow and grey is such a great combination. Not that anyone will notice the other walls with a fabulous Graham & Brown pattern!
