We are redecorating the living room want to go for a dark navy wallpaper feature wall but really not sure what colour to paint the other walls? Has anyone done this or have any inspiration? Thanks

I’ve done similar in my dining room and went with grey. I’ll see if I can find a photo.

@thatsmyumbrellaellla what colour did you go for in the end? We've just had a feature wall done in a gorgeous navy wallpaper, but I'm stuck on what colour to use on the other walls!

@OhTheTastyNuts we went for Dulux polished pebble mainly because we really couldn't find anything else but happy with how it looks

There's a paint called Salt of the Earth - I'm sorry but I don't know the brand. It's a lovely wholesome, rich creamy shade and I bet that would be a safe but very much complementary colour with navy.

Are there any other colours in the wallpaper that you can pick out?
How about Dulux denim drift?

Polished Pebble genuinely goes with everything.

We have a feature wall/arch in Stiffkey Blue and the rest of the walls in Parma Gray - both F&B colour matched.

In case it helps anyone else, this wallpaper is dark blue background and I've paired it with dulux teal tension to pick out one of the colours

Ours is a peachy colour. Sounds odd but I think it works.

I had a nearly gold and a cream

Pink/peachy colour or gold if you go on Pinterest there are loads of suggested colour schemes If you do a search

Farrow and Ball calamine?

We have navy wallpaper in our bathroom. We colourmatched the background and painted the roof that navy. It's easier to go bold in a bathroom than a living room but it would work.

Go on the Graham and Brown website it gives some suggestions (see photos below). Personally, I would probably go neutral/safe and team navy with a creamy beige colour as I have had enough of grey or alternatively maybe pick out another colour in the wallpaper if their is one.

The paper we have is plain navy with a slight geometric pattern...

I like the idea of a creamy beige, or maybe grey. It's a east/west facing room, so I think grey might look quite cold and flat.
