I have painted a (bedroom) feature wall in suede effects, colour Mineral Green.
What would be a good colour to paint the other three walls?
And what about the window architraves?
I'm not adventurous with colour and would prefer a muted shade.
All ideas are appreciated.

I guess it depends on what "look" (modern or country etc)and warmth or coolness you're going for.....a vanilla colour with white trimming would keep the colours cool, whereas you could have say a terracotta colour to warm up the room. Or even a paler version of the green perhaps. Even the most boldest colours muted down can have surprising and pleasing results. Maybe have a think about what you can and could never live with too! - cross off those you don't like on the colour charts and sample the ones you do.....pics from magazines or on the web can give you ideas you wouldn't ordinarily think of too. Good luck :)

You could probably go with something about two shades lighter than the feature wall, but in the same color family, like a sage. As for the windows...I always go with a nice bright white on the windows for contrast.

i think i would go with a few shade lighter or darker than your feature wall. for the window trim, i like to use a very light shade of the same color as the walls, then white for the ceiling..just my 2 cents..

You might consider beige and/or cream for your highlights. You could add some small peices of maroon, brick red, or another darker earthy tone for accent. Oh fun! I can't wait to hear what you decide. You could post some pics? Net :)

I'd recommend for you "antique white" (a safe colour" But personally I'd choose Faux Leather by dulux (a darkish brown)

Cream walls and ecru architraves would be cool.

wild cherry, LoL, I'd be good with colors, if only it was a little bit less harder too. Depends on what the room is though..
