Hi Tony, We have a range of regency paint colours, which might help as a starting point for a feature colour, combined with some neutrals from the rest of the collection. Alternatively, if you weren't planning on following the regency theme, and fancied something more neutral, Ideal home have some nice ideas for farmhouse style properties - here are some of the links: Irish farmhouse Victorian cottage 18th Century Barn Hope this helps, Katrina

Help!- we are totally confused as to what colour paint scheme we should use for the lounge and dining room in our regency farmhouse.We have almost covered the walls in different sample pot colours from all makes and completely lost the plot!

Hi Anne,

Here’s an image of the St James’s place on a full wall in Chocolate:

If you’re concerned that it may be dark in the room it’s going in, then I’d suggest using for a feature wall, and using either a neutral shade or a paler shade of the cerise for the other walls. Go with your instincts!

Thanks,

Katrina

Hi there,
I really like the St James’s Place wallpaper in Cerise and I want to use it in my dining room. It’s a smallish room with patio doors. Problem is – I’m not sure whether to paper all four walls or whether to use paint on one of them to break it up a bit. I’m concerned that it might be too dark. Do you have any suggestions or pictures of how this paper can be used please? Thanks!

Hi Cathryn,

Distressed leather, and other natural materials featured heavily this year.
If you’re planning on using this on your walls, take care, because a large expanse could be overpowering.
Leather furniture, cushions, or curtains in black, white or pale shades of brown or cream will add a hint of the texture you’re after, without taking over the room, and allow flexibility to change.

Hope this helps,

Katrina

Is distressed leather trendy this year? I would like today have texture without wall paper or mixing paints.

Good point Aldo, and if it helps improve your insulation, it’s better for the environment.

Thanks for the feedback.

I think that textured wall paper instead of flat types like vinyl is suited best for ceilings and this can also help with heat and sound insulation of a room.
