Have you looked link{http://www.dulux.co.uk\here}. You can put in any colour on the paint page and colur the furniture to the right colour too. I would suggest either a similar colour but darker shade or lighter or find a contrast coulour to biscuit like a soft pale duck egg blue. Very regency / wedgwood colours but you could make it look very modern.

Paint 3 walls duck egg blue and one chocolate brown - it really looks nice - you will have to trust me on this!!

spacemonkey · 16/03/2004 17:28

biscuit's a neutral colour so it'd go with just about any more "definite" colour I would think.

Twinkie · 16/03/2004 17:29

Actually it would be reminiscent of a Long Island Beach house with the floor and all. Lovely

NICKJNR · 16/03/2004 17:38

I LOVE THE RED - BUT AM A LITTLE SCARED TO DO SUCH A BIG ROOM IN IT - ALSO AM SCARED THAT WITH THE DOORS BEING WHITE THEY'LL STICK OUT LIKE A SCORE THUMB WITH THE RED.
