If you like neutral colours, I recommend shades of brown for the feature wall and white or cream colours for the rest.

We love colour! Our Lamb's House Pavilion project was a new-build house, in the traditional Georgian style. We have lots of bright and wonderful colours throughout - http://www.houzz.co.uk/projects/747488/lambs-house-pavilion. Farrow and Ball have some beautiful paint colours which are appropriate for historic buildings or traditional interiors

Hi Amelia, This is a fantastic space, I love the detail and height you have in your living room! A great way to get away from the stark white walls is to paint the room in a grey tone, this will allow you to still use your existing furniture and accessories in your space. I would suggest using Grey Steel 3, which a beautiful soft grey tone. This colour will definitely be in keeping with the details of the room and most importantly your furniture. Or if you do want to stay with the neutral tones Chalk Blush 3 will be the best colour for this as this is still bright but brings a touch of warmth to the room. If you would like to give either of these colours a try you can always get some tester pots and test them out or if you have a smart phone you can download the Dulux visualizer app. This is so easy all you have to do is point your phone at the walls of your room and pick either of these colours. I hope you find this helpful! If you need anything else, please let us know - happy decorating!

Have a look at F&B All White. It looks fresh but has a softness to it. You could have a dark feature but I’m not convinced it would be a good idea in a north facing room. Can I ask what colour your walls are at the moment? Here’s some pics of All White. There are other whites of course such as Pointing or Wimbourne White which are warmer. ALL WHITE WIMBOURNE WHITE
