Be bold
For colour enthusiasts, why not go a shade braver with a bright red, hot orange or mustard yellow feature wall? Break up large expanses of colour by adding texture through MDF boarding like this tongue and groove. Save on paint and panelling by creating a half-wall effect, with the pop of colour on the bottom and your original wall colour on top.

Go dark
It might not be the obvious choice for creating a cosy atmosphere, but for a cocooning, snug-like space try a darker shade. From rich navy to charcoal greys and even blacks, it can make a room feel homely and intimate, especially when filled with warm lighting and candlelight.
