Hi there. I'm about to paint the study in my new house. It's a small darkish room which I will use a lot for work so I need to maximise space and light. I've chosen a corner desk and various matching cupboards/shelving. The main colour of the room will be cream but I also wanted to paint a feature wall in an olive green colour. Trouble is the only wall I can make a feature of is where the desk will go. A bit like <a class="break-all" href="http://www.google.co.uk/imgres?q=feature+wall+with+corner+desk&um=1&hl=en&client=firefox-a&rls=org.mozilla:en-GB:official&channel=s&biw=1440&bih=661&tbm=isch&tbnid=LupUGKM9QUeZiM:&imgrefurl=mydeco.com/blog/tag/desk/&docid=wHYMwcBcsfy8FM&w=172&h=159&ei=HxdFTtT4PISGhQe9_fTGBg&zoom=1&iact=hc&vpx=1229&vpy=288&dur=150&hovh=127&hovw=137&tx=69&ty=19&page=2&tbnh=127&tbnw=137&start=20&ndsp=18&ved=1t:429,r:17,s:20" rel="nofollow" target="_blank">this.
Do you think it would look silly? It looks OK in that pic but it's just a shot of the corner - in the context of a whole room I'm not sure. I'm a bit of a fan of painting everything off-white or cream because I like nice light rooms but I also love colour and I think having a feature wall allows you to be adventurous without compromising on light or making it feel like you live in a pot of cream. TIA
