HiTino Felly, Marie Here. Your off to a great start - but you've made a common mistake in that you've found your inspiration for your colour palette, but your not committing to it. You need to bring the greens and blues up onto the walls and onto the floor - commit to it. You could: - add a great throw rug underneath the bed, - add big table lamp beside the bed - or better yet, a wall sconce, - drapery isn't really the best choice for this bedding - I would have brought in a bold graphic print here, in either the blue or the green - artwork can stay neutral - even do a collection of mixed metals in chrome, gold, and have fun with that - if you add too much in the blue and green it becomes boring and un-special. Choose your accessories carefully, I'd change out your drapery - go with something bolder, I'd also get a larger night stand so you could put a proper table lamp there. Good Luck!

you can match the height to something else in the room- perhaps a fire place or the panels of the door. But I also agree with other comments that halfway is too high and they should be the height of the back of a dining chair.

Another option is to paint all your walls in de Nimes up to the picture rail, and then use one lighter neutral above and for the ceiling. This photo with wooden panelling illustrates this idea. I've done something similar in my living room and really like it - my woodwork and highwall/ceiling are all the same tone (not brilliant white) and it works well in my north facing aspect.

Thanks Isla. And thanks for commenting on my discussion. It’s been really useful. These projects are never as straightforward as just painting a room. We took the radiator off the wall and the previous owners had only plastered to the top of the radiator and there was still the old wallpaper behind the radiator. Now we are wondering whether to replace the radiator as well to avoid having to move pipes once the room is all done. It’s never ending but it will look fantastic when it’s done.
