Living Room colour - All 4 walls the same?
Hi there,
I am in the process of decorating my living room after a lot of revovating.
I have decided on a nice warm green colour. I'm going to go for wallpaper to reduce the echo in the room since the wood flooring went down (and because only one wall has been re plastered)
My dilemma is do I do all the walls the same colour?
Would it be better to have a cream wall to break it up? If so which wall!
Do I have a feature wall?
The wallpaper I currently like is
or
If I was going to have a feature wall I am struggling with finding one to fit with the green. I'm not a fan of floral. I am a bit in love with this but not sure if it would work
Possibly in the Taupe colour?
Ignore the sofa - will be getting a smaller one soon. Also there will be a dining room table in the other corner of the room. (cream legs and reclaimed timber top)
Thank you!
Have included some 'before' pics too!

All around window: how furniture the living room
Comments (22)Hello everyone, Sorry that I didn't reply before. Believe or not, it's been almost 2 months without internet. I moved to the new flat and it is just amazing. I had a problem with the curtains, blinds, etc. I couldn't fit any of it because the rail would be where the door opens (ceiling), so I would loose over 40cm throughout the whole window. So I've choose something a bit unusual but very, very beautiful: duette blinds. About the furniture, we've decided to do a bar/shelve unit behind the sofa and the sofa will be looking toward the window (if you know what a mean). In front of the sofa, I will do a small tv unit. Therefore, I will not loose all the beautiful view that I've got. What do you think? Now I need to plan a bar/shelve unit behind the sofa. The designer gave me some ideas, but I found it very square-ish.... I really appreciate all the comments and the help. You all are good at it and have helped me a lot. Thank you, Talita Ps: I will take some pictures and I'll post to you if you want.......See Moreknock down wall, tile all the same?
Comments (5)kinda depends on whether the wood floor goes with the kitchen. Personally I like to see the same floor throughout as that continuity does make a home seem bigger and help with the open plan feel. However it is perfectly acceptable to have a different floor treatment in one room as long as they are completely different materials....See MoreLounge/living room fire and wall colour dilemma
Comments (8)Hi Sian! I would not recommend painting the wall red or green as per se. If you have a small room and furniture is red/green you need to be careful with wall colour, I suggest keeping it as neutral as possible. Soft/dark grey is a safe choice and looks good in contrast to red. It would be good to see the rest of the furniture for a better perspective, perhaps you can take photos with your phone? Check out the option below for colours. Considering your description of the room, I would think about Fashionable grey or Moroccan brown (disregard the blue and brick colours) ? See below the options, from this palette you can also think about grey owl or similar....See MoreVictorian knocked through living and dining room design same or diff?
Comments (16)Thanks Ensign! The magnolia comment was just about a temporary measure as the majority of the room is already magnolia and we have some leftover from recent touch ups to our rental. Definitely won't be magnolia long term. We originally had a room by room plan, but got waylaid as we had to rip out carpets and wallpaper from upstairs immediately to get rid of smells. Downstairs we haven't touched the kitchen/utility, although we have had to strip both halls, again due to smell. With the exception of dealing with the floor, our bedroom will be finished first as it doesn't need any tradesman input. Everything else will have to be done in bits and pieces as and when we can afford to get trades in to plaster/ deal with pointing outside causing damp and so on....See MoreJules Woodard
