Brett and I have always been lucky that our tastes in interiors, if not entirely similar, are easily compatible. We both prefer firm upholstery, for example, and rooms with a mix of styles. We think walls are better with color and both firmly subscribe to the "it's just paint" school when it comes time to freshen up a room. If it's not right, you can always paint it again. The last frontier finding us far, far apart, is wallpaper.
The panel above is part of Tropical Views from Paul Montgomery Studios, which I recently discovered online. This is my favorite from a number of really great panoramic papers that are handpainted to mimic old woodblock printing, and can be customized in size and colorway to fit your application.
Picture it in grayscale, glossy white chair rail and panel moulding below, large crown above, and a black-stained wood floor. For a dining room we'll throw in an overscaled chrome chandelier. For a library we could swap the panel moulding for low bookshelves around the room. Black linen drapes on fat chrome rods work with either.
I'll get him there eventually!

Huuuuuneee, I love it when you talk all dirty like that.
Me, too...
That would be sooo striking, a great mix!
It looks like a dinosaur is going to walk across the landscape at any minute.
Brett, get back to work.
At first sight it reminded me of a SF B-movie decor The Swamp Thing or something...but in the right setting it could look Fab!
They make gorgeous wallpapers the Decorative Panneaux are stunning.
One wall of a bedroom with a big window and crisp white drapes....
