I love wallpaper, though folks don't use it much any more. My grandad and my daddy were paint contractors, and in the day, everyone had wallpaper. I guess that dates me; doesn't it? (LOL)

I don't want anything bright and flashy. I just want whatever will make the room feel larger and not interfere with the color perception of the fabric. Thanks for any ideas.

Incandescent lighting is fairly yellow. Florescents can be blue or green and I've even seen some that's sort of pinkish orange.
Sunlight ranges from blue to yellow to occasionally red or orange.
But your brain likely perceives most of it as white.
