Browse Forums Interior Decorating Lounge 1 Feb 07, 2015 7:04 am 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.

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. yep sounds good make the footing bigger to to allow for the pipe in the middle 3 7326 Hi When it rains in a particular direction water comes through the security door.
