I have the same. Look on my ideas book 'my house project' and it shows what I have done. Painted Portland Stone (little Green) and tiles the same colour. It is much warmer that it was. I have complemented with turquoise, greens and mustards.

Pale creamy yellow would really warm up the room. Then add a couple of accessories in a bold colour like navy, bottle green or red, just to break up the neutrals a bit.

Hi, thanks for responding. I am starting with everything new so whatever colour i choose for the wall I will blend in everything else with it. I am thinking of multi coloured rugs and cushions. I am planning on getting a huge clock that is silver coloured so the contrast wall should look ok. The window frames are black as is the door furniture. The walls are so light you'd hardly call them grey although they are. The doors are natural oak and the darker grey wood I think surrounds the doors beautifully. Of course it is personal taste but I love it. A photo is attached, this is my bedroom yet to be furnished.

Hi I definitely would not paint the walls in a site, black colour. The walls would then look ugly against the dark tarmac. You need a contrast and I would keep the walls the same colour as the house. I would introduce a bit of black to the top capping tiles on the pillars to echo the black strip on the bottom of the house
