Currently my dining room and lounge both have pale beige walls and they'll have oak hardwood flooring. I'm thinking about a feature wall in both. The dining room has never really been decorated properly and has always been a dumping ground for laundry, shopping, shoes etc. now that the repulsive green carpet has gone I can see how it could easily be a very nice room. I'm thinking of green tones to bring a bit of colour, perhaps this wallpaper
