Makelike Succulent Wallpaper

I am considering wallpaper for our kitchen. Specifically, this one called "Succulent" by Makelike:





Carter recently installed this glass subway tile as our backsplash, and it looks AMAZING (pictures coming, promise):


So, I'm thinking Makelike's Succulent picks up the aqua beautifully, and the chartreuse tone of what I interpret to be abstract cacti plays very well with the greenish yellow tones of the paint throughout our living and dining rooms (connected to the kitchen).

I received the sample in the mail yesterday and it's pretty awesome. We don't have a lot of wall surface area in our kitchen, so the paper would not cover much. But it would add a nice little dose of style. But I can't decide if I should go bold with the coral/red, or play it serene with the gray. Our cabinetry is white, and our granite is black and we have a black/white checkerboard floor. Both options would look good.

Which would you choose?

  2. Go Bold. If you don't have a lot of wall to put this on, I wonder if the repeat will get weird? I considered another paper from makelike for my dining room--they are SO gorgeous in person!

  3. The coral is pretty and punchy but I'd go with the gray.

    Coral! It would look so great with your floors. I agree that it would make the black pop.
