Hi, I'm having this wallpaper as a feature wall. I'm wondering what other colour to have the walls. Don't want it too dark as it's not a big room

Depends which room. If it was a bathroom or bedroom then maybe pick out the pink or one of the bluey greens, for a living room I'd try to match one of the lighter colours on the bit in the bottom left corner.

It's my living room, the cream colour? I think that's a cushion Grin

Is it a sunny room or dark? I think it's a bit of a myth that you can't have a dark colour in a small room. Dark paint in a small dark room can actually cosy it up.

Interested in this thread?

I'm on my phone so couldn't get the picture any bigger than a thumbnail :)

I'd take a sample into a mixing shop and pick out one of the deeper creamy tones and get them to match it, otherwise I think you are going to have to go dark or too bedroomy in tone to match the lighter colours.

You could use a lighter shade of one of the green or teal colours. That would be brighter than an exact match but also more interesting than a cream tone. It’s lovely paper!

Some of the deeper shades go beautifully but i think whe you start to go lighter it loses the living room feel and becomes more bedroomy. That might just be me though. Probably depends on what the rest of the room is like, ceiling height style etc.

I love a bit of colour and I guess you could go for a lighter or mid shade if you had bold furniture and soft furnishings/accessories.
