I have an small north facing office and want a cosy but restful vibe. I have bought these curtains but cannot decide on the right colour for the wall. I wanted a warm pinky tone but don't know if that's a good idea in a north facing room? I am honestly useless at this. I go in other people's houses and everything just works but I can't seem to make good choices.

Could do with some advice from someone with a better eye than me.

The pink is nice, but you could also consider a soft, pale, rosy terracotta as well.

I would go with pink also but you need to get it perfect

I would go Almond White for neutral option or a very light green.

Lovely curtains! I would go for a Farrow and Ball greeny grey. Try Mizzle, light blue or Theresa’s Green. Get samples pots and buy the real thing not colour matched versions.

I am going for a similar look with greens, and have bought Fresh Artichoke which I have elsewhere in the house. Intrigued by the AI suggestions.

I like the same green in the curtains.
