Flocked wallpaper

Yes, but not too many people can make it work. But when they do, it looks fantastic.

Jesus, are you from serious? NO! Flocked wallpaper is NEVER okay. Plus, after a while it starts smelling bad, probably because odors cling to the flocking.

I think it can look good if done well.

As kid, our living room had flocked paper very similar to the right-most one in OP's pic.

Are you opening a Chinese restaurant OP?

Of course not, R5, the OP is running a circa 1890's whore house.

It can look really sumptuous if done right. I have a friend who has a dark green damask pattern flocked wallpaper in his dining room, it looks incredibly cosy but elegant and very, very expensive.

I did not know it retained odors.

Interesting.

Don’t do it in the bathroom, for obvious reasons.

No wallpaper is ok.

No, no, no, no, NO!

I'm with r1, if you don't know what you're doing, don't try it. American taste is generally abyssmal enough without adding the risk of flocked wallpaper into the mix. Maybe if you're redoing the basement for Halloween where eventually it would come off anyway due to rising damp. If you need to wallpaper (usually I think it looks better in older houses), there are plenty of nice designs and patterns available without rushing headlong into the flocked stuff.
