    id like the three colours onthe three walls on the left.
    does this look like it could look ok in my flat? if so, which walls would look best with which of the three colours to give a nice warm effect?

    if these colours dont work in this space im very open to all suggestions on ither colour schemes :)

    thanks so much everyone :)[/img]

    I like the color scheme. Very warm and rich. How much light do you have in your living room, and where are the windows? I am asking because I think I would put the lighter tan color on the wall where the windows are and the darker tan across the room.

    Love you color choices. :-D Remember that paint will look different on different walls and with different light/day. Think about your preferences for the amount of lightness/darkness you want in different parts of the room. I have my lighter color in my living room farthermost from the windows since I wanted that area not feel so gloomy, and the richer colors near the windows. It is just the opposite in my art room.

    I notice that you have white trim. This will naturally brighten the windows. You might need to consider using a white/cream on the trim so that it better fits the color choices. Be sure and post your after photos. :-D
