Yes
take it from someone who has had dark flooring! and lighter walls will give the illusion of more open and airy.
Yes
Red and grey it is
Same with my Transit Connect that’s rusting away.
But look at the scenery

Yep sunny and not raining in Wales
Plastered and screeded!
It's great to see a smooth transition from the hall to the room, no half a ft drop!
Tomorrow we have to get some paint, decisions decisions.
I'm thinking a dark ish grey and a red for one wall. Not sure which yet.

Nearly there...waiting for that lot to dry will be painful...looking great
I wired my house, garage and games room too, in fact here’s a picture of the garage lights…

Whats the silver car behind the red Fiat?
It’s a TVR, a bit of an oddity, it’s the Tasmin Turbo Coupe, a pre production prototype that never went into production. A picture here with the garage lights on
And a couple of press picture of it at the 1982 NEC motor show prior to the project being shelved.
For those who know some of TVRs history (and there are quite a few of us on here) they may recognise a few faces on the picture above.

Great progress and can see the attractiveness of your interior designer thinking... however... I would recommend going all white for one very simple reason... if you are have lots of pinball meets it will give the impression that the room is large and airy which will make a more pleasant experience to those attending.
P.S. I'm not an interior designer so feel free to take my advice with a pinch of salt.
I recently painted the pin room and carried the colour up onto the roof and it creates a better atmosphere and casts the lights nicely but it's all personal taste at the end of the day, just go with your gut.
If you don't like it it fairly inexpensive to start again (assume you're doing your own decorating).

That’s the way to do it apparently. My mrs decorated the front room with the same colour on the wall, skirting and ceiling because it’s ‘in’ according to instagram.
Looks good to be fair, but I say that about everything new she does
Can you share some pics?
I'm unsure
I would assume its like the picture of the garage higher up with the TVR in it. Skirting, Wall and Ceiling all the same colour.
Do it in Michael Barrymore
"all white"

The garage is white skirtings, white ceiling and light grey walls.
I think this one posted some time ago by Fubar is a fantastic representation of the different visual effects...
Chris.
Mist coat and doors back.
Not going dark grey, going to keep it light but not white!
I am thinking of having the end wall red, but not sure. Have to decide before morning though
This wall red, including the door so it blends in...or is that crazy?
