What colour?

If you were using this wallpaper on one wall, what colour would you paint the other three?

The room is already light blue, similar to the 'Ka-Pow' blue colour in the paper. It's not the biggest of rooms so don't really want a dark colour. White furniture will be going in the room.

All opinions appreciated!

I would paint the other walls a kind of greige - colour matched to the cloud shaped "explosions" in the wallpaper pictured. Kind of a chewing gum greyish colour iyswim, armed than white and a definite colour but not too definite. .Will also make the white furniture pop nicely against it.....

Yes a greyish/white would work if you don't want to go dark. Nothing with brown tones though more of a cool colour.

That wallpaper is ace! Where is it from?

I agree a greige/warm neutral would look best.

Thanks for the ideas! I was thinking red but it would just bring the room in too much which was why I wanted other ideas. Will head to the paint shop this weekend. Perhaps I might go for red in the duvets/curtains.

I found the paper online but it's sold in store at The Range and fortunately we have one locally so I can go and see it before I buy!

I'd go for the 'Ka-Pow' blue.

Oh, that's amazeballs!!

Agree with the blue of the pow or the browny colour of the puff of smoke.

I was going to say the blue before reading your whole post. You could leave your current blue on, paper the walls and then decide if the blue stays or a griege would be better. I think it’ll look fab with white furniture and red accessories. Well done you!

I think the blue would make the room look too cold. White, grey or greyish/beige would go well imo.

Bright yellow or white.

I'd go navy-dulux sapphire salute -to make it really stand out and make the room cosy.
