It was made on site by a local artist using a stenciling graffiti technique resembling the work of Bansky (see http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Banksy)

Each works for different rooms. Dark colours can add luxury - as they did for our dramatic makeover of a bedroom. The charcoal colour is elegant and calming in both winter and summer due to south facing windows. Light / off-white colours add to a contemporary aesthetic - especially in a cohesive look and feel within an open plan scheme or where it is necessary to draw attention away from a relatively low ceiling as was the case in this dining room we designed in a duplex apartment in the South of France. The problem further solved by low-back dining chairs.

sit with the wall for a while, when does it look less bad? u could go for a corbusier one colour wall, ie only primary colour; u could paint the wall a natural earthen colour, like not yet dried plain plaster/terracotta etc., u could do a mirror on it to maximise the light from the window, though i hate windows, u could go cosy with dado rail and colour on one half or picture rail higher up obviously. check out acton town house it has a nice apricot white (it's a similar shaped and sized room); u could check out Tokyo A certain style (it's a book) and go all storage-mad but in a nice Japanese way, not too ikea; also see Muji - this room could be Japanised very nicely; best advice though going back to my first point, is to ignore teh furniture mentallly as u sit in different parts of teh room at different times of teh day, see the book Wabi Sabi for how to do this and the genuine organic results that can arise; where does the sun hit which wall etc. also, just scroll through picture after picture on this sort of website, it educates your eye somehow and you'll see new possibilites. u like scandinavia so check out ikeas different treatments of same room a few brochures back. u could plaster it with black shelving if the wall is a cold north facing wall, wtih colourful books and storage items, being bossy i would say, go for golden sand, one low shelf with dark artifacts archeological style and uplighter (cf other persons idea 'cool floor lamp/lighting' - on this low shelf could be also recharging phone, cool shallow dish, and a changing display of natural items. the wall could equally well be an aqua blue, quite pale, but not arctic, in order to look scandi; theh shelf should be stone or slate or white, not black, or bamboo of course; now once you've done this u can enjoy the wall with changinglight effects from teh window, which would need to be bare but for a black roller blind. the rest of the walls could have warmer treatments to make up for your low level statement wall. have a look at Freud's house in hampstead, it's not scandi, but it is similar type building and also, it has been modernised in some rooms. please show rest of room, state rooms' purpose and let us know how u do it eventually. thanks¬

Black or white bi folds???

Sounds like a great combo Mairead, we're in the process of doing something similar (just without the bifolds!). You could even look at having a 'Stiffkey Blue' Island for contrast (farrow & ball colour again). Wood would provide a warmer feel and if you found the right choice, the balance would be great against the hand-painted units. Ultimately both can be integrated so they look like they run outside, beyond the bifolds, which will be the look i'm sure you want to achieve. Regards, SA Designs

While white fencing isn't for me in a back garden, I have seen loads of pics here on Houzz with white fences and, although they mostly seem to be over in the USA (let's face it - they tend to have better daylight in parts of North America than we do in the UK) I do like the look of it, though. I especially like the whitewash appearance if you're going for a Cottage Garden as it adds a weathered appeal. I went for black in my garden which looks pretty stylish, especially with the greens and whites in front of it. I used to live in a house with a roof terrace and we were advised at the time to not use white on the inside of the parapet walls as it would glare too much. The chosen option for the wall was pale grey (before it was fashionable) and it worked really well. For this reason, I wouldn't have gone for white fence or white furniture.
