I think the colour would look good painted evenly. The brush strokes make it feel a bit 80s/90s. It also depends on the furniture too, I think wood panelling would look really nice.

Have to agree that a flat colour would look better, it reminds me of when we bought our current 80's house it had suede effect walls verywhere

I like the colour I think it matches well. I think it is the brushstrokes that are the issue, very 90's.. I *cough* still have some walls in my house that we painted this way in the 90's when we built....

Why don't you go a medium ash grey bordering on dark grey. It would stand out. If that is what you are looking at doing?

Try the colour with smooth paint - no texture - then look at your furniture and perhaps bring more cooper into the room with nick nacks, picture frames, curtains etc. It really is hard for us to give advice when we have no idea of your style, furniture etc.

Agree ..... The colour is good / the brush strokes not. I would pick a similar colour in a traditional paint though & pick up the copper in accessories. The other option could be Porters Rust effect.

I think a mid to dark grey or better still, tiles?

the copper wall matches the copper too much. dark grey would highlight copper pendant. agree with other comments, the brush strokes date it. good try though, not easy is it deciding on wall colours !

I love grey tones and black but what about a very deep dusky blue would look great with your copper colour

I personally really like navy (for the feature wall), this shade would nicely complement any copper accents!

The colour you choose also depends upon the colours in your furniture. I agree that it would probably look a lot better if it were rolled in one direction rather than the brush strokes. What are the protruding wires for? Is it a TV? Some colourful art would look lovely - a very modern matt frame with bold colour in the picture.

I agree, it does depend on your furniture and the style of your home. But if I was painting that wall, I would go dark. Like a dark black with a hint of blue to take the edge off it. Good luck.

Hey Dounia

The colour and the way it has been painted is very much what we saw in the late 90's and early 2000's when we all went through the textured paint feature wall craze.

But, saying that Paint and design technology have come a long way since then and I would encourage you not to give up on the copper idea and use a modern approach and product.

Dulux have recently added their new range of Design Effects, Here's the copper and concrete look. There's also other options available at www.dulux.com.au. You can email them for a copy of their brochure or they are readily available at Bunnings in the paint section.

Thanks Paul

wow they are lovely
