To start get rid of these horrible flouescent bulbs and change them out fot LED 4000K that instantly will make the space feel different. The bulbs you have should all be discarded safely .I use this as neutral iften you might want to test it on some poster board I cut it 25% very often . I really dislkkke guest rooms in an office so if at all possible maybe try to look at another space for your office . I think for me it is practical since I get up at 5AM and work so no guest is ever going to join me .

Lightbulbs and light on the to do list. Unfortunately we dont have another space for the office and pretty much used wk/ends only for our son and granddaughter when they visit. Thank you

Patricia's suggestion is good. Green would probably look good with the carpet and sofa. A warm white would also work. BM Simply White, Cotton Balls, White Dove, Cloud White or Swiss Coffee are popular whites. If you like SW, look at Alabaster and Greek Villa. Add some colorful art and good lighting.

Your carpet is a pink beige, and that’s probably why the paint was chosen. Are you keeping the curtains? They also lean pink beige. If you put a green color on the wall it will be the complement to the pink beige carpet and the difference will really stand out. I would sample something that leans a little pink, so you’re not fighting with the carpet. It will need to work with your (cooler) gray sofa also. BM Pale Oak may work. Always sample in your space to see how light affects it. Photos don’t pick up all the colors that a human eye can see.

Kandrewspa, thank you for your input. I will check out the white paints which is something i was thinking about. My excitement to get this room redone waned once my husband informed me all his ‘sports’ stuff would adorn the walls…big Pats fan with lots of memorabilia, yay! Although that’s fine since he lets me do what i want with the rest of the house

Susie, thank you as well. I guess the carpet does have a pink tone to it. Honestly i never really noticed since this was my college aged sons room. when home for visits his clothes covered the floor! The curtains can go. I actually had them from our previous home and they did work with the decor when it was a bedroom. i do have a swatch of pale oak in the room which i kind of like . Before I ordering swatches from sampleize i was hoping to narrow down some choices and the colors suggested so far will help me a lot. Thank you

Susie, so sorry i included my reply to you with Kadrewspa! Thank you

Hmm. That pinky beige carpet doesn't work so well with your gray sofa, but if neither can be changed, I'd go for a very subtle light beige like Benjamin Moore Sail Cloth:

The other option would be to go with Benjamin Moore's Simply White. It's a great neutral white that works with pretty much anything:

Thank you
