Going to be repainting my small man room....

Nothing to fancy in here. A Desk, book shelf, chair, and in wall gun safe sitting on a built in cabinet for the base. Wall trim is white.

I have 3 whitetail shoulder mounts, a turkey fan mount, blue wildebeest rug, kudu pedestal mount, gemsbok pedestal mount, impala skull mount, and blue wildebeest skull mount. (African trophies are set to arrive in a couple of weeks)

Looking for a good paint color to accentuate the animals?

You guys have any good recommendations?

I went with Cream of Coffee from Valspar and then rubbed a tobacco colored glaze over it. It takes a few weeks for the glaze to fade away to what it will be like forever. I like the light, neutral shade of it and how nice my mounts look on the wall

I'm a big fan of anything other than white. We painted our living room a delta marsh green. We get a lot of compliments on the color and it gives things a more natural feel.

I used sand samples from the Kalahari for inspiration for accent walls. It's a deep, brownish brick red. The main color was designed to compliment this. PM me if you want the codes.

The main, large wall in my Trophy Room is 3/8" T&G natural cedar slats...


And the other walls are trowel textured plaster painted light grey...

The late great Duncan Gilgchrest said that the only thing that doesn't look good on a white wall is a polar bear, dall sheep or mountain goat. Damn near everything else looks better on a white wall.

I would agree, and even point out that skull mounts look good on a white wall as long as they are on some kind of wood shield.
