tee hee.....I don't even know what color my room is....too much fabric all over the place. I actually would think I would pick a boring neutral color especially if I am planning on having a design wall so the color of the room would not influence the color of the fabric I am working with. Oh, my grandparents did have a bright red ceiling in their kitchen....I loved it. They also had a red gingham checked table cloth and red accents. I drank much lemonade out of that red ceramic pitcher of my grandmothers.
