Hey guys, I'm trying to figure out a color for my master bedroom's feature wall. Firstly let me list out the color choices of the house.

Wall primary color : White
Furnitures : Black
Decor : black with some red

With the above info, I hope you guys understood the theme of the house. I thought of using Black for the feature wall.

Something like this. What do you guys think?


Oh and BTW, anyone knows where in the forum to get that light that illuminates from the bed headboard? Can this be done by those simple LED strips/tubes?

Wallpaper is one of a good choice....

U can use T5 tube for the headboard

I'm gonna paint the wall and hang up some large poster..

Any idea where to get that T5 tube?

T5 tubes, u can find them in every light shop..a 4ft bar price starts from RM19 to RM25..

but i like the LED strips if it is not too expensive!

It'll make your room look small. Gray will be better.

hmmm but I'm thinking about something that is flexible and thin. So I can slide them through tight spaces yet still illuminate certain area...

Did some further researches and much agreeable that black absorbs light hence tighten up the illusion of wide space. How about if I hang up a large black n white canvas wall poster on the black wall? With some lights behind the canvas, lighting up the whole poster.


When you say gray, is it dark gray or gray of other tones? Do you have any pics ?

And guys, any idea how to hang a large canvas poster without any nails?

Thanks for the inputs...

@GameFr3ak,
Just a thought - would Black be uhm...too-mosquito-friendly?

Was about to say that. Alot of insects might decide to 'stay' near the black walls. If our weather is really dry & cool, it would probably be ok.

Something like this kind of gray.

Hmm nvr thought of this problem. Will this still happen if I live on the tallest floor (23rd) ? With medium sunlight access. And mostly air conditioned?

Nice color. And the wall poster is the kind that I have in mind...

I'm not sure about that though. I have never tried any dark coloured wall before. As long as your room is well-aired and at times air it with outside air will be fine.

Or maybe you could try it out and let us know? I think also need about a year or 2 to find out if the spiders etc will be crowded into that area or not. But if you clean it all the time (behind your bedhead etc), should be no problem.

I'm currently living in another Condo and the whole house is painted in white. guess what, it doesn't stop the spiders from coming. Though I don't see any mosquito, probably coz I'm living on the 19th floor. Even if there is mosquitoes, it gotta be from my own toilet....

The Spiders came because you seldom 'dust' your place lor. If you practice dusting and cleaning the walls at least once a mth with Magic Mop (from Kao), your walls/ceilings will be clean from other stuff.

I just meant that black will attract as insects like cool & dark places.

for my house..
living room..feat colour=red..the rest white..
my master bedroom..feat colour=dark purple..the rest light purple..

Guys .. asking your opinion.. this below color nice?

ahh ok.. that means if i pick dark color then I need to be more hardworking...

Got pics ?

Hmm looks ok in the pic but I guess you need a lot of lights to make it look even better?

Ya.. dissapointed with that gray.. hahaha, have to repaint brighter color.

i said chili red or deep purple as it will match well with ur dark walnut furniture

I think it lacks brightness. Should be ok if there's enough natural light during the day and enough lighting during the night will be good enough. Though I do think that gray and maroon is a little too dark. But should be ok as a feature wall color I guess..

Nah furniture will not be dark walnut. It should be black, pure black. But Chili red paint seems to be a feasible idea.

Do you know? dust actually not black colour, but is some kind of gray, so unless your "black" wall is using gross finish paint, if not when the dust stop on the wall, it will look very bad
