Decorating and creativity

Decorating a room whether from scratch or one already decorated, is wonderfully therapeutic. I like to decorate thoroughly which means including the ceiling, walls, skirting boards etc. It's so creative as you can choose from a great variety of wallpaper and paints but of course if you keep the floor coverings like carpets or boarding, this has to be borne in mind since colours clash. As we are decorating a spare bedroom, I can get into the swing of things but then trouble comes as bedding and curtains need to match. I have seen days when we have had to repaint walls which we've just done to get the colours right. Also to bear in mind whether south or north facing rooms etc. - don't want dark rooms. Well, on with the job!
