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

If you want to highlight the staircase wall then your could use earthy colours such as a yellow ochre! The wall could be enhanced even more by using suitable frames and making a good collage composition for all the photos that you have (I can see many lying on the dining table). This colour would match well with wooden furnitures

house is good in white. ensure you choose off white colour such as cotton woll and not brilliant white whike repainting. Gate in black. boundary wall in mud colour. overall it would look like a spanish villa. only thing missing is a big olive tree or a palm tree

hi, u can use L155 which is not pure white but slightly dull but looks very good u can go lil on mushroom tones as well it might just elevate whole look. Asian paints colour fresh fuel. with combination of pure white in ceiling. uve to instruct painter to use pure white with blue reflection not yellow. hope this helps
