I am going to decorate my living room in black and silver and want some inspiration, I am not supposed to decorate the walls but have done the chimney to make a bit of a feature.

I am not having black walls :panic: but not sure what colour I should paint them :huh: I am having a new black leather sofa :thumbsup: and I can put the black and silver nik-naks together just need to see some black and silver decorated rooms to look at, I have googled but nothing came up!

upload the pics from your camera to a file on your computer, then click on the paperclip next to the smiley face just above where you write your message then browse for the pictures and upload :thumbsup: preview your messgae before you send to see if they have attached!

There are some lovely papers in B and Q. We've recently done the chimney breast in shades of cream and beige ( not as boring as it sounds ). The paper has a huge flower pattern on so could really only do one feature wall but it does look nice :thumbsup:

I love them all :thumbsup: Our house is totally magnolia :laughing: as it was being decorated to rent out when in-laws passed away - then we decided to see if we could live here.

Actually it looks ok as we have old pine furniture and the rooms would be a bit dark if not as it's a victorian farmhouse. (Trying to convince myself that magnolia is nice!)

i have one wall of black textured paper in my bedroom, and paint on the other walls in a putty colour.
it goes well with red, chrome or any metallic accesories :D
