OR if you wish then please do send me links of any other wallpapers which you think would look good on a fireplace wall (with a modern fireplace); possibly something that goes with black/brown carpet.

What colour walls go with purple carpet?

We moved house in April and the decor in the lounge is really annoying me now. Basically it is a big room (sort of lounge/diner size) with a pinky purple carpet and matching curtains at the patio doors. The walls are a dark pinky purple wallpaper on the bottom half, have a cream dado(sp) rail, then have a light pinky purple wallpaper with darker flowers on the top half (plus a matching border above the dado rail as they seemed to be obsessed by borders!)

Although I like pinky purple it’s all a bit much so I want to redecorate. We can’t really afford to get a new carpet or curtains so need to do something with the walls to calm it down a bit. I was thinking of just magnolia but the there is also a cream fireplace and I’m not sure if that would look strange.

So I’m looking for some decorating suggestions/ideas
