Would it be too cluttered if I did the fourth wall (after 1 striped wall and 2 solid cream ones) with a toile, brick red border, on a cream base? This will be our first house, and we've only been allowed to paint in one rental (of 5 so far), so I have very litte experience with painting.

If you do all those types of walls it will be too much, IMO. You could still do the border but like this.... top 1/2 cream, bottom 1/2 red, border in between the colors. Like a chairrail (sp).

Like mama said you can always repaint it if you don't like but with red you'll have to prime over the red and may a lot in order to cover the red.

You can take a sheet wood, cardboard, paper, something and cut it into 4s if needed or 4 sheets and then paint each one the way you want to and then put them together like 4 walls and see if you like it. This way you will have an idea of what it would look like on a smaller scale. There are some programs on the net (I have no idea where) where you can do different design styles and see what you like.
