I agree with Doozer re the colours. colours in a room also depend on the type of light it gets, my bedroom for xample has muted colours, but the back facing room which gets all the sun, can take pure white on the walls with a vibrant coloured paper on another . always try samples.

Gooogle 60 minute makeover prog, it can be a bit OTT but they seem to match the rooms well.

Are you young n trendy BTW, do you like the NEXT style which my neices and nephews have gone for in their first homes?

the front room as a big bay window so loads of light and the dining room as french doors out to south facing garden so gud light
and im 29 :onot sure if this is young :rotfl:trendy i would lov to be but not getting anyway :rotfl:

Yes. I'd pull through a bit of purple in some accessories - seat cushions maybe or a vase for flowers; something just to tie it together.

If you go for the basic black and white palette you can change your accent colours.

I am an accessories freak so I would probably have a couple of sets in different accent colour ie vases, cushion covers, maybe a rug so that I could change them when I got bored.

The person who posted about B and M is right there prices are really cheap.

Have fun!

Yeah, that young n trendy by me:rotfl:

I love the richness of purple velvet, it goes with lots of toning lighter shades too.
