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.

Hi. You could try a warm stone which would lessen the contrast between the sofas and ŵalls. As the room is light farrow and ball elephants breath should work really well. It will also go with the plum accents.

Thanks Gina. The 2nd one down is Crushed cotton 1 by Dulux. I do like the combination with blue wall as well as the tiles to be honest. But it's much more pink than grey (although I do keep saying to my partner that it is a pinkish grey to stop him rejecting it :D). I've attached another picture. Yes a mirror is a must on that wall and some artwork too. Have got a gold ornate mirror ready to hung somewhere but not sure if it'll go with the kitchen scheme. We'll see when it comes to it. Dining table a coordinating chairs will hopefully disappear soon once the budget allows new ones :) I can repaint in the meantime I guess. Ok the plan is I'll get few more greige samples and calamine and maybe a lighter shade of Crushed cotton as this one is too pink for my partner to digest I'm afraid :( and the fabric sample.

Because of the red/green thing, if your mum’s set on green (and why not?) I’d try to go for a greyer green rather than a purely greeny green. On my screen Fields Afar and Willow Wotsit ( sorry, can’t recall the exact name) look greyer than the others.
