Hi I'm new to this, just wondering what colour would suit the wallpaper I'm wanting on a feature wall in my living room?
Thank you in advance for any advice.

hello and welcome. its a very neutral wallpaper. seeing that your sofa is cream, which is also neutral, you can use just about any colours you wish. one way to decide is this: chose the shade of the wallpaper that you most wanted brought out (eg. red of the stalks). and use bright scatter cushions &/or art &/or a rug (or do you already have a rug?) to make it noticeable.

Hi, pick a single bold colour red, orange, yellow and choose certain accessories around your room to tie in with that colour scheme. Splashes of yellow with grey is certainly popular this year, and we think it looks brilliant. Check out this image below for inspiration...

A belated THANK YOU to everyone who commented. This is the final result. We're super happy with it. Room A north facing "through-lounge" in a new build, 3 bed semi detached house Paint Walls: Purbeck Stone, Farrow & Ball Ceiling: Strong White, Farrow & Ball By the way, the room isn't as long and skinny as it looks in the photos. Painting it all one colour actually made it feel much, much larger. We were really impressed with the quality of advice the F&B staff gave us in regards to colour. We loved Purbeck Stone from the minute we saw it, and being brave really paid off.

The background seems to be a soft calming pale warm grey which I would try to match on the other walls and pick up the yellow in some of the accents such as lamp bases, curtains, cushions, a throw for the bed or even upholster a chair or long bench for the end of the bed if there is room for it. I would use a deeper tone of the grey or an aubergine in some other accent pieces, perhaps the bedhead or bedside tables.

I was looking for advice on exactly the same dilemma! We have chosen Orla Kiely Giant Abacus for a feature wall in the living room. Grey background, cream petals with an olive centre. We have a cream carpet and cream leather suite with mid grey armchair and room doesn't have big windows, so trying to maximise the light. What colour would you suggest for the other walls? Thank you so much for your kind suggestions!

Hi I think something alone the line in a warmer neutral grey paint colour would work, like Farrow & Ball Purbeck stone no.275, Mole's Breath no. 276, or something more on the red tone, Farrow & Ball's London Clay no.244, or Brinjal no.222. Hope thats helpful. https://www.farrow-ball.com/paint-colours
