Did you decide to keep the tiles? What are you doing for window coverings? Are there furnishings etc that the wall colour needs to work with? In the absence of context I’d recommend white. I’d try Dulux Snowy Mountain 1/4. It’s not too stark and will work with the tiles.

Hi , we thought to keep the tiles at the moment. Planning to laminate flooring over tiles for one room downstairs to experiment the look. But flooring colour will similar to tile.
Also planning to put fire pit.

Not yet - I am thinking I will get a length of aluminium angle and put that on, or else a piece of timer and then paint it with waterproof paint.

If you have the possibility to paint this wall again in soft beige, do it. Then put a wide painting on the wall you have previously colored and fill the room with accessories of the same painting's color. You can change this painting every few years along with its accessories and have a new ambiance ever time!

Hi Rochelle, because you've gone with all natural tones, any strong colour just stands out too much and never looks quite right. Ditch the red. I think your idea of plants is a good one. Green works in with that natural pallette well. Get a lush green pot plant for your coffee table and maybe a bigger plant in a high pot that can stand on the ground. Buy a good sized, beautiful print of natural landscape and hang it on the best wall (instead of what you have). Get some funky cushions that work with the print and buy one of those luxurious fake fur throws in a colour similar to your mat. This will add more softness and texture to the room. I've added some pictures which aren't quite right, but hopefully give you more of an idea of what I'm getting at. Good luck!

These spaces can look awkward but yours is quite inviting with those windows. It could become a retreat space, that allows someone to be near the action without being in it. Seating or lounging would work with the very low head height. I could imagine it would be a great spot for a couple of cool beanbag seats, a small funky bookshelf and a sleek retro lamp, or if you have children to cater for a games setup with storage in a retro ottoman.

I’m glad you posted a picture explaining your fire. It would be very dangerous to have a fire pit in your room, but a fire place, as per your photo would be good.

We painted our entire home in Dulux snowy mountain before selling home. Really brightened the entire space.
Photo attached.
