Hello this is a hand trowled plaster wall. I had a faux finish artist develop a multiple layer glaze to go over it

Hi, firstly you are very lucky to have lovely Victorian features in your home! I would definitely look to lighten the room to enhance the characteristics. I would choose a soft light grey if beige to really lighten up the room. I would look to paint the picture rail and skirting a light, white and have your wall colour contrasted against this. Alternatively, you can do the opposite and paint the walls a very light colour or white and use the darker colour for the railing and skirting boards. Long term, you could use backing paper on the walls. (I live in an Edwardian property and it really covers up any blemishes or bumps for old walls) it will then be ready for painting. In the future you could also look into getting your ceiling skimmed, but for now a lick of paint can do wonders! Be sure to use a white emulsion paint first to cover up the red, you don't want to spend lots of money on nice paint for it to not come out at its best. Dark wood flooring will look great against a lighter colour, you could sand it back and varnish it, especially if there is wear and tear and stratches. For now perhaps you could use a light coloured rug? Mahogony furniture will look lovely and will suit the age of your property. Again, with light coloured walls it will stand out! Consider lighting also and table lamps to soften the room! Hope this helps I've added a few photos for a bit of inspiration. Good luck!

I think grey is so overdone since it became fashionable after the death of chocolate brown six or seven years ago. The trend is changing so that while grey still exists (such as in your cabinetry), it's not the focus. The 2016 Colour of the Year is white! Each paint company has selected a few that they are featuring so it's not one particular Pantone this year. The idea is to have your white walls and then pop them with beautiful clear colour, and the grey is a perfect foil for the colours. We're not back in the Nature colours of beige/gold/sage/browns. It's more orange, red, bright mustard yellow, clear greens, turquoise, navy and so on. You need to find a source of inspiration, which could be your wallpaper. There are some gorgeous ones available and these would be your best starting point. When you choose your upholstery, be brave and go for a colour! Hope this helps :)
