Doing up my fixer-upper (first owned home yay!) and have decided to be more adventurous and go for some colour instead of my usual preferred plain, safe white/cream. For decorating, I like mellow, muted colours like Laura Ashley's dove grey, pale French grey, seaspray, eau de nil and pale apple (just painted in the dining room with isodore wallpaper accent wall). But, I read a thread asking why the op's house wasn't selling and posters were, hmm, uncomplimentary on her paint/wallpaper choices. So, now I'm worried in case when it comes time to sell (probably in next 3-5 years) people will hate my choices! How much would the decorating affect your opinion of a house?
Also, have been looking at colour chart from Laura Ashley (mil gave me the catalogue, I don't work there honest!) and I really liked either pale duck egg or duck egg for DC2's room. But is duck egg over now? Will it date the room- I think it was really popular a few years ago? And, if not, which one is better for a south- and west-facing smallish bedroom?
