What colour should I paint this wall and artwork ?
I recently bought an old house and renovating is gradually. I've removed the old carpet and replaced it with laminate wooden floors. Removed the very old wallpaper and have prepped the walls for painting. I'm planning to paint all the walls with Dulux natural white except this wall in the picture below. The front door of our house opens to this wall, as in its the first thing one would see upon entering the house. This wall has some wooden engraved artwork with even light ( bulb) underneath as shown in the picture below.
Just wondering what color should I paint this wall and maybe even paint the artwork ( not sure what such artworks are called - i'm pretty naive in design areas ). I was thinking about picking an earthern color for wall and repaint the wooden artwork in white. Also for the lighting above ( currently awaiting a new bulb:) .. Would a small chandelier look good ? Thoughts ?

Comments (33)Hi. Yes, me too, number 3! Some really beautiful pieces of art being suggested. Wow, such vibrant colours. May I make a suggestion? Maybe it's just me, Terri, but try rearranging your rug so that it runs widest ACROSS the room, not lengthwise. It will fit under your furniture better, and although as much of it won't be showing, I think it may look better, given the size of the geometric pattern. I'm curious to know what you think. :)...See MoreWhat kind of art should go here??

Comments (4)Sandy - given the width of your bed, I worry the size artwork you have chosen may look out of proportion when hung i.e. too small against your bed. My vote would be for the 140x100. If your bed is 193 wide, 75% of that width is approximately 144 so that size artwork has the potential to look the best :) The 140x100 size still allows 26.5cm of negative space on either side of your artwork to the sides of your bed with the ability to position your artwork well given the height you are working with.

Comments (10)I'd go further , and be more brutal ! Right now , you have white walls , off white leather coaches , off white floor tiles ( in a lounge area -- cold , cold , cold IMO ) and a grey jute type rug . Do you dislike colour haha . DON'T go for blands -- go bright and big , again just my opinion . Hard to tell the wall sizes between windows , or what the rest of the room looks like , but how about this -- -- A couple of leafy plants around a metre tall , each in a suitable gloss glazed pot , matching colours in red or maroon or yellow or orange . -- A solid wood coffee table -- I'd buy a well used $10 one on an auction site , with chunks and knocks and worn corners . Varnish the top , paint the legs and cross bars in a mix of 50/50 paint and turps , to almost make it a stain . Go with a similar red/orange/ yellow as pots , BUT not a match . And when you are done painting , but before it is dry , add more paint so it is then 66-75% paint , and dab and rub some on using a sponge . -- Get a BIG picture -- 2metre by 1.5 . Similar but different colours to the above . Can't find one you are rapt with ? Go with close , get any left over coffee table 'stain' , and dab it on , streak it on , rub it in circles . Say you use orange , get some test pots in apricot and mid yellow and 3 shades of red . Repeat with them too , and/or thin them and suck them into syringes , and have fun squirting them across the picture . In other words , make or at least modify your own work of art original ! Theres nothing stopping you there either -- how about painting some small random offcuts of ply and gluing them on ? One or two bits of aluminium or stainless ? A rusty bit of tin ? A knife and fork ? Make it into a 3D multimedia piece ! ALL the above -- $1000 tops and a couple of days of fun !...See MoreAnne Monsour

3 years agoHi Max,
How lovely that wall niche is, I would paint your wall a soft earthy tone , Dulux ‘ Self Destruct’ this will highlight the white trim beautifully, you could then add a feature like a potted orchid or even an urn , I would look for a really different chandelier, could make for a stunning entrance

3 years agoHow you paint or decorate depends on what style is your house decorated in. If it’s modern and on minimal side you can go all white like in this photo it gives you nice clean understated look and you can have modern chandelier or pendant light to go with the it.
