I used the pale version of slaked lime (which makes a great substitute for white in a bright room) but the darker one may suit better. Also, it looks beautiful with wood flooring. Portland stone also is lovely but with a more olivey tone.

I think 'man about the house' is giving good advice. I adore teal but in this instance a paler grey with teal accents in accessories may suit the space better. I painted a similar wall in a lovely rich purple and it was too much, too dominant for my space :/ . It is a gorgeous colour though it really looks amazing against the lamp and couch.... Oh maybe be brave and go for it!!

Hi Adnan Khan We have some fantastic yellow voile curtains that would work great in your room, by using a voile or lined voile you will let plenty of the light in still but have the privacy and colour that you desire, without heavy curtains, A selection of our yellow curtains can be seen here, and we also offer a free sample service, Let me know if we can be of any further help, Elle @ NCD

We went for it - the photo is a little further up the feed before we had the drive done and painted the hanging tiles to match. We get lots of comments from passers by that they love it but i'd still love to get it rendered so they really pop rather that it be so dark.
