Shaw's Original Fir...
I think a paint as dark as that would show every flaw, nook, cranny and uneven wall alive no matter how well you plaster/repair.
All the flaws are part of having old walls! (I guess if you have newer walls, that's no fun for dark colors.) I love the spotlight on navy walls lately, AT!
I very much do not like 1 or 3. The others are all right but my favorite is 2. Black, white, and blue give it an elegant and chic feel but none are overwhelming.
4 feels a bit overwhelming with so much blue and white. Don't think I could ever go so bold, but it is a unique idea!
The first photo is so beautiful, the wall color is perfect and with that velvet couch... Ugh! Love it. We're thinking of doing a deep rich blue in our living room too, though it would just be one wall, but I think that might just be the kick in the butt we needed to get going!
