Its for the bedroom, which is probably about 14ftx12ft.

I was thinking about doing the wall behind the bedhead in a matching red colour? Then doing the other walls in a sort of cream colour. Do you think that would work? I have no idea about interior design at all. Would the walls be betetr all being cream?

Thanks

I think (it's difficut to tell from the picture) I would use a very pale grey rather than cream (like egyptian cotton)

i'd do it a mauvey purple but i love deep shades with red

Farrow & Ball's Elephant's Breath - a nicely muddy grey. Unfortunately it doesn't look anything like it on the website but is fairly close to Hardwick White, iyswim.

would do pale grey

Pale grey sounds really nice, think that would work well.

Thanks.

If you are worried that the whole wall behind the bed red - you could just paint a shape behind a picture (so it looks like a border) or a rectangle round the bedhead?

I might go for something completely contrasting like a pale olive/grey green.

We have similar colour curtains and duvet cover in our bedroom, and the walls are a very soft grey/green. It looks fabulous, particularly when I have a vase of deep pink lilies on the chest of drawers.
