David, I went with a blue/metallic silver scheme with diagonal paints. Check out my collection thread around page 6 and 7, I think it works well especially with red display units.

I've thought about this and decided to paint my walls a medium grey, but strong, not pastel or light. Ceilings white. Floor a dark grey. I felt that was best to make the colors of the collection pop. It depends on what color your collection has a lot of. If you have lots of red on the statues, it may show up as too much red, or the red items will get lost in the wall. I would not do any patterns, since it's the collection you want to stand out, not the background. Good lighting, possibly spot lighting would help.
