Hey everyone.
I'm new, and I was hoping for some help?
I'm moving into a different room in the house, and I am allowed to paint the walls and decorate however I wanted.

Unfortunately due to the dimensions of the room, I cannot provide an adequate photo.

I have decided that I want to do a sort of 'Japanese Theme' thing, and that I want a red feature wall.
What I have no clue on is, what shade of red, and what colour the other three walls will be!

I really don't want to go just plain 'red and white' since I don't think it suits the concept of Japanese that I am going for.
(I'm looking towards the more Western perception of theJapanese)

I was thinking a sort of light brown or even another reddy colour (but NOT pink!!!)
My new room is sort of a square and the floor will eventually be re-done with floor boards. (Light brown)

However I am beginning to re-thing the RED feature wall. But I do know that I want some form of a feature wall.

Anywho... I basically am asking for help with colours.

Thanks so much to anyone who takes the time to answer.

~Kora.

You can paint a feature wall in a dark ruby red and the rest of the walls in biege or pearl grey. the big paint compamies have simulators that you can use, you can down load your photos , look at their schemes and colours and paint your room on the simulator, it helps to give an idea of the final effect.Alison
