Hi Hope someone can help with suggestions. I am trying to move my bedroom out of the 90's I have painted three walls dulux ecru and was going to do the feature wall dulux irrigation, but it makes the room look dark and dingy and too much like it is based on the colours of a camouflage uniform. I need suggestions for another colour for the feature wall. I would like to keep the artwork which usually hangs above the bed. Thanks so much.
Note the camera has adjusted the photos so it looks like a lighter room than it actually is.

Thank you sanjam, there are some nice suggestions in there.
Has anyone seen an attractive green feature wall (not as dark as dulux irrigation) that teams well with Dulux ecru?
Oh I love sanjam's suggestions!
I think this would be a nice green ...

Given that Ecru is fairly dark for a main wall colour and you want to keep the room lighter, how about using Vivid White to contrast lighter rather than darker for the feature? That will match in with the windows, and the border in the artwork. I don't know that it's in fashon, but it seems a logical solution.
I think green could be tricky with Ecru. Green feature walls are often put against white to get that clean look, or you'd be needing quite a dark green to contrast with it - and then a lot of lighting to brighten the room back up again.
Hi, look at Dulux Nicks Nook.
