Now for Mr 16 months... I really can't decide. His room is going to be on the cold side of the house, with not so much sun so I want it to get that cozy sort of feeling when you come into it. I was thinking yellow or orange curtains? But then I don't know what colour to do the walls. These are some fabrics I like:

We are planning to use a dark taupe on one side of the lounge (left wall as seen in plan), and the same dark taupe in each of the bedrooms (1 side only, wall behind bed). Is this a good idea or would u prefer using a diff colour for bedrooms? Thanks

What emotion do you want to feel in the room? Calm? Energized? Happy? What colors do you associate with the emotion you want to have in the room? Choose a bed covering first. It is much easier to match paint to a bed covering than it is to try to find a bedcover to match paint.

Hi Linda. The Resene Merino on the walls may make the trims possibly look more creamy. If you intend to paint your trims, doors etc, I usually tell people to use a stark white like Resene Alabaster because if you change your wall colour again at a later date it will still look good. If you know the trim colour let me know. The inspiration picture of white works well because it is broken up by lots of natural textures and materials.
