I am looking to update our bedroom walls. When we moved in they were magnolia and we've never got round to repainting. Any suggestions for paints to try? Thinking a pale grey?

We did our bedroom pale grey, after using many tester pots! You'll be surprised how many shades there are - certainly more than 50! smile

I've done heaps of tests with Farrow and Ball paints on my bedroom wall. I started with cheaper ones but couldn't find the right shade. I borrowed some of the testers from DS who noticed they looked completely different in my room than in his house. It really is to do with lighting and which way your room faces.

I can't believe that it is 5 years since we decorated!
Time to contact our decorator again I think, the lounge could do with refreshing. But, can I cope with the upheaval and early morning starts?
