What colour shall I paint my walls?

In my bedroom, I want to paint my walls to brighten it up. My main carpet is beige, and I have another carpet on top (doesnt cover the whole room) and its red. I have some decoreation in red and white. I could repaint it white, because the old paint is flicking off, or I could use another colour. Suggestions?

Answers:
I think a light beige would brighten up the room, without making it too lively to sleep in it. If you went with the red of the carpet, I think it wouldn't be very relaxing.

Very Very light and pale shade of blue or green. If not then white would be great... it blends with everything even your future carpets and room fittings
white. matches everything and can be dressed up by hanging scarves of different colours to match the other colours in the room.
