Feature wall in bedroom? Tell me about yours

We have just got keys for our new house. In our bedroom, it is wallpapered, plain on three walls then coloured/patterned behind the bed. We don't have a huge budget and the wallpaper itself is in perfect condition so we were going to just paint over the plain walls.

However - I'm totally stuck for a colour scheme! We will be replacing the feature wall paper as it's a bit too old fashioned for our tastes, but I have no idea what with. I'm not a huge fan of feature walls anyway but I suppose I dont mind it on the wall behind our headboard.

Tell me about your bedroom walls? I found a nice wallpaper with bright pink and blue flowers, which would have looked lovely with either pink or blue walls, but DP said no as it was too girly. The only feature walls I've seen in real life have been the standard dark brown with big green flowers/ cream with big red flowers and I would like something more original.

We have a pole with a tartan rug hanging as a feature behind the bed in our 'Scotland ' room ! It's a bit different - but wasn't expensive ! It's on a bit of stud wall with hanging space behind - as there wasn't room for a full wardrobe in there !

We have lining paper, painted, with some wall stickers on - google the binary box, that's where they're from. Looks lovely and was cheap as chips.

I'm about to do horizontal tongue and groove. We have sloping ceilings on two sides and will do the short walls under the slope.

Like this but with the boards going across.

The other walls are painted pale grey with silver blind and grey/silver voiles. Looks lovely.

These are the voiles in her room too

Feature walls are a bit meh. You could just strip it.
