We do have a purple feature wall (well, it's actually called 'lavender lake' & it's the same colour as our kitchen cupboards. It's a bugger, isn't it? I think that woman with the 25 sample pots might have been my sister-in-law, she's got patches all over the house...

It was very nice. <br />Have you thought of doing a feature wall to add interest? Use the same colour, but paint it over an embossed wallpaper. My grand daughter has this in her room, where she wanted black paint. A compromise was reached where just one wall was painted black over an embossed paper.

Their lounge/dining/kitchen is Sunburnt Orange. <br /><br />The entryway is a light cream, and Mum had this brilliant idea to just paint the trim Sunburnt Orange, and then put some orange flower decals on there. A friend came over and, upon sighting the decorated entryway, sympathised with Mum for being in the middle of decorating.
