Re-doing my room

  Planning to redo my room.
  Can anyone tell me where we can get affordable dulux or nippon paints?
  
  Any other tips to share? One difficulty is that the floor is green marble so the walls we'll be using will be light green on two sides, dark green on the centre side, and the ceiling, white. Does anyone have better ideas?
  Thanks.

  No idea where to get affordable paints
  But for the colour, you can also go for a light yellow or for a light rustic brown look....ok maybe I'm not describing it properly

  Could you describe the green marble floor, what shade of green is it?
  
  Something like this? http://artsillustration.com/green_marble.JPG

  the colour of my vomit!
  
  but i second that colour, it would stand out more if there's a contrast as compared to something thats all green.

  use lighter tones...
  
  so that the room will look bigger and brighter...

  if u gog for "branded" paints like dupont etc, the price is similar...
  
  and i think i would go for white [thr r several different tones of white, esp apple white etc] or a lighter shade of cream instead of living in a "greenhouse"

  Actually various shades of turquiose would work too or any kind of greenish blues if you prefer blue
  
  Anything greenish blue, yellowish undertones will match your floor
  Browns will as well but it will be too dull for the walls but they have some very nice rustic colours lately that looks very stylish especially if you use it as a feature wall colour.
  
  How do you want to decorate your room anyway? Any theme?

  So ure using a darker colour for yr feature? Yeh i think the colour contrast would be good, but maybe u shld use another colour maybe? Iam afriad Dark green wuld make yr room look very dark and gloomy. I jus did my room also, I chose red for the feature walls and the rest i used an off white colour. Perhaps u can try yellow? different shades?
