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?

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

Any idea where to get that T5 tube?

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...

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 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....

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?

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.

True. Since so many suggested away from Black. I think I'm gonna go with gray tone...

Guys, what about the wall TV wall color? Since you gonna face that wall for hours during movie session. Would it be nice if it's in Gray too ? More subtle for the eyes..

My color choices of the house are : -

Black n white + minimal red furnitures
White walls
Some red decors

Feature wall = gray?


This is similar to what I have in mind but Black will be the prime color for my furniture. So the sofa will be in Black while the table might be white with some black.

How bout this gray ?

Like, paint the whole wall to see if it matches? Orrr 1 small portion? I'm getting my renovator to paint for me not sure if he can do that..

Alright thanks for the suggestion. Will try and get my renovator to get it

Ya I'm kinda worried that it'll become too dark and gloomy. Hence I only planned on painting 1 feature wall with a slightly dark color.

I guess experimenting is the only way to decide But gray is for sure, tone is unsure.. thanks peeps..

Thanks guys. I've decided all the colors for the house. Now I'll wait and see the outcome.

BTW anyone of you knows how to hang a big murals or framed pictures without nail through the wall ?

Or should I consider a really thin nail on the wall ? I'll have the whole house in a skin coat and I'll be heart broken to see holes

Thanks for the info. So Velcro strips are actually similar to double sided tape right? Do you know any particular place to frame up printed posters or murals? In KL la -.-

Ah.. Interesting method there. Velco Strips, pretty tough if applied on 4 sides of the frames I reckon. But strong adhesive will still peel off the paint coat in the end no matter what right ?

Good point too, in most cases I'll only change the picture or poster and it is less likely that I'll be leaving the wall totally empty. So that should give me enough motivation to poke a hole, velco or use strong adhesive hooks.

Hmm finally my house had its feature walls painted. And the color ran turned out to be more bluish as expected. Actually the gray looked kinda like yours and I have all other walls painted in white. So currently I have tv wall, dining wall and master room head board wall painted in this bluish gray tone.

Further more I've asked the renovate to paint my door frames in black while the doors in white. My present concern is mainly with the tv wall. I have a tv cabinet that is main in black while the compartment door are in silver white. It's gonna be mounted on the tv wall. So I'm a bit concerned of the overall look. LOL any thoughts?
