I wouldn't worry too much about trying to match your tiles with your carpet, dark grey will go with most colours plus the bedrooms are separate rooms, and sometimes it's better to contrast particularly given they're two different surfaces anyway... my biggest no. 1 question before colour would be what sort of tiles are you after, ceramic, porcelain, etc? Cause that is a massive area you're thinking of tiling and the cost differential could be considerable

Hello again, Definitely not too warm. I am not entirely sure what paint colour you are thinking of but as pointed out - easier to adjust paint rather than the other way around. If the tiles were really grey and the walls were that tone as well, it would be a very flat, souless look - the slight touch of warmth in the tiles is a good thing and honestly being so neutral your options are huge with colour of walls, particularly if you are intending to use this tile throughout. May I suggest you choose a paint colour and then use different depths of the same colour depending on sunlight, dark corners, more impact in certain areas etc to create the interest. Be wary when you have such a neutral, albeit very tasteful tile, it may be wise to adjust the paint in this way to lift the level of interest. Take a look at the following colours - Resene House White and Resene Concrete as starters - very unobtrusive. You could always go for a hit of charcoal in areas too. Avoid any "feature" walls - do the whole room - nothing wrong with strong, dark colour, even in small rooms - think powder room or laundry if you are not brave enough to do an entire, larger room. I am also assuming you will be introducing plenty of white trim on skirting boards etc - for what it is worth, my go to white is nearly always Resene Alabaster. Loving the sound of the carrara - such a classic. Hope that helps :)

I have this colour on walls and have similar tone in carpet and while I didn't choose it it has proved very versatile. I have used a different schemes in each room including the following. lavender blue and gold /mustard pumpkin and green Black, white and cherry red teal and burnt orange and mustard and black, copper. duck egg and cream Look at the Resene whites and neutrals chart for other neutral tones.

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
