I believe a light grey would look nice behind the blue in the map - it needs to be a perfect shade of grey as grey is hard to achieve. Possibly experiment with various colours - I usually paint on board using sample pots first then hold them up in large sheets to see what suits the area... This gives you an indication of where throws of light will capture the actual colour and which shades suite the room without having to paint on the walls. The board base colour generally needs to be as close to your existing wall colour to achieve the closest match.

Hi senba, Great suggestions above! Yes, use the wallpaper background... but keep it really,really light blue. It will keep the room homogenous and will retain the softness of your paper. That is going to be a very pretty, very fun room when complete.... please post a picture! Elizabeth Cabell, ASID, CID

hello.. any suggestions would be of great help!! I am very confused right now

a much taller head board, something to soften up the cabinets. the bench at the end needs new fabric, and possible paint raise the bed with risers on the feet. warm neutral tones.
