Waht do you want from us. IMO wall color is the last choice you make so maybe more info as to your needs. Where does the doorway in the top left corner lead? Where is the front door?

Here is a layout for the area. IMO you can link this area to the kitchen with your selection of furnishings and art without having to resort to painting a wall blue.

Thank you @BeverlyFLADeziner! I love your ideas. Do you think a sectional would work in this space?

@Patricia Colwell Consulting I am looking for layout and design ideas. The door you are referring to is an front entry door. On the top right is the entry to the kitchen and the door on the direct right is a coat closet with the hallway entrance after it.

Yes, a sectional that is sized to just take up the space covered by the sofa and two chairs.
