Need Help With New Bedroom/Living Space

11 years ago

Hey guys, we are getting ready to move into a new house, we're planning to repaint probably the entire house. I am needing help with deciding on painting my bedroom and the upstairs living space. The bedroom, in particular, has some space issues. It is roughly 23'x12'-15'(give or take), and is just really oddly-shapped. Both rooms have only one window, but the living space area has the worst spot for a window, so I'm going to need more artificial lighting. The bedroom feels cramped, but that's probably more because the "ceilings". It was decided that we would be using colors similar to what you see here: Sherwin-Williams "Coastal Cool". We will probably be repainting most of the furniture(ie, bookcases, dresser, etc) in a different color(s) than the walls. Again, the bedroom just feels kind of cramped to me, but that's probably because of the ceilings-a friend mentioned that they thought I might be able to offset that by painting the psuedo-ceiling the same color as the regular walls and leaving the top ceiling the current color or a similar color. I like having a lot of light in my rooms(my last place had tons of windows, including the bedrooms), and the bedroom window probably isn't as terrible as it seems. The bad window is the one in the living space. Here's some links that will show the rooms I'm needing to fix.
