Mishe...hello. You could go really daring and paint the room orange!

That would make a statement!

The same color as the rug? Dark with the light seafoam would be lovely.

You have a lot of light. I like JudyG's go bold idea, that room would look very inviting in dark gray.

Seafoam green is so close to mint green that it works will with chocolate brown too.

This is a very pretty space. Try painting the walls BM Revere Pewter, add in more silver touches in accessories.

What about similar to the couch but a touch darker?

BM Guilford Green? Plays well with gray and orange.

I love your impulse buying style and I hope you still love the sofa. With a room in such soft colors that look neutral, it would be easy to change the accent colors with the season. Think of pillows, drapes, throws, rugs and even art work that change with the seasons without a lot of expense or storage. After buying that beautiful sofa, go back and pick something else you love to coordinate with it. Take a fabric swatch, usually found under one of the cushions, or take the cushion shopping with you. Considering the close proximity of the other rooms, I would choose paint the same color range to avoid chopping up the design. Of course, if you feel overwhelmed by too much gray...you may be looking at a lot more painting in your future.

I like either of JudyG's ideas.

How about a slipcover?

It seems from your post that you are a lover of colour, and so I suggest white walls so that you may play with accent shades as bright or soft as you like, as often as you like,without fear. Keeping the walls neutral allows the green to act as either the dominant shade or near-neutral to other, more saturated colours without fear of winding up w a SpongeBob Squarepants effect in your room. Good luck with your project.

Think about painting the ceiling that darker shade of revere pewter. Maybe in a semi gloss. That would add a lot of drama. And update the fan.

With so much light in the room, you could go dark gray like JudyG suggested. Keep the rug & find some accent pillow with both colors & use silver touches suggested By Design. Change the ceiling fan to chrome & add mercury glass lamps on the end tables.

pcmom, your idea gave me my idea:) I'd paint the ceiling in sea foam green and the walls a soft white.

I like the current color as a neutral backdrop but I like the idea of painting the ceiling a seafoam green.

Well bumblebee, we certainly are thinking alike! Crossed post...

Hi mishel4 -- I liked Liza Jane's suggestion so much, I put her orange into your room and added these sea silk curtains with a copper shimmer:

I also updated your fan, and sorry I scribbled over your tree -- it made it harder to judge how the orange would look with your sofa...

Hi Bluenan :)

I love painted ceilings! I use one of those very narrow rollers , only an inch or two diameter. Less paint splatter!

Wow what great ideas from everyone! I'm so indecisive your thoughts really help. I'm leaning towards painting the walls grey, so the white window trim stands out. Also considered navy blue. I'll definitely be changing out the fan. With a darker color on the walls what color would you paint the ceiling? Or should I paint the walls BM revere pewter, like in the kitchen and paint the ceiling a dark color??? Thanks!

Here is even another option for the ceiling: paper it! I have a vaulted ceiling in my family room that I had papered with a subtle beige and white stripe. It just adds to the room. Maybe you could do white and seafoam.

Or paint the ceiling in a semi gloss paint for the shine.

Your sun room has such a wonderful, fresh ambiance! Tossing a custom stencil idea into the mix. Picking up the exact colour of your couch in at least one element of the stencil would make your furniture selection look like a planned design coup! An applied lattice / trellis work (1/8-1/4" max depth) in white against a green background could be very effective--the design of the lattice work to suit the style of your home. pcmom's ceiling approach is great in her space, but if adopted for yours, I would suggest achieving that with a stencil (or custom cut effect with paper) so that the centre of the ceiling is not pulled down, effectively shrinking your room. The idea, well designed, could imply a garden room open to the sky (and if that idea appeals, a trompe l’œil sky could be amazing!!

Garden Oaks, trying to expand my knowledge. What do you mean by "center of ceiling pulled down"? Do you mean in the example with the wallpaper? Is that because of the wallpaper selection?

The garden room idea would be lovely. I see a few houseplants sitting there already.

Found a picture with some lattice on the walls:

Posting this because I think if you could find a vintage piece to put under that window opposite the sofa (then set some of your plants on that), would look very nice.

Do you have a couple of wicker chairs for this room? Please ignore the chairs in this photo: it is the wooden furniture piece I like!

I think your white wall color looks nice ... I would suggest an area rug that has some orange and green in it.

This rug is from Pottery Barn:

pcmom, the ceiling in mishel4's room is much lower than yours, so a pattern across the ceiling would "bring it down" in the sense of drawing the eye and making the ceiling more "present". It adds weight that is a good thing, sometimes, in a higher ceiling such as yours--drawing attention up in a way that does not shrink the room. But in mishel4s case, I thing that any ceiling treatment should leave the centre open. Imagine a pattern that might extend from the walls and up about a foot into the ceiling area, but leaving the centre open. This has the advantage of obscuring the line of the top of the wall, subtly giving an impression that the wall is higher, reinforced with a void that the eye takes in as more height in the centre. Some properties could really work this (not necessarily mishel4's as I have not seen it all). For example, the lattice treatment, a stencil, paper or mural effect obscuring the wall top with flowering vine element and a trompe loeil sky effect would be magical. But again, unless the house overall is to that design standard, it would look out of place. The overall design aesthetic is important. Great find on the lattice, btw!

Hi mishel4, a way to open the room is to have an artist paint a sky ceiling mural. It's fun for sun rooms. I wouldn't recommend a dark ceiling, as it defeats the purpose of the sun room. Here is one I hand painted for a client who was a bird watcher. Good luck with the room : )

Mishe, I wouldn't paint the room orange unless it faces north because that may be too warm feeling in the summer.
What about a deep green that coordinates with your sofa? Keep your orange accents and pops of white....lovely room.

Michel4, ...a beautiful color that may work is called "Drizzle", by Sherwin -Williams.

I like the seafoam sofa. Like the pic with the two blue wicker chairs too. Since you thought of a purple, how about this colour. http://houzz.com/photos/622682

Thanks for all your input....went with Chelsea Gray, BM

Grey would be fabulous. The rug color but lighter.

Mishel4, your room looks great! With all of your windows you have plenty of light for that color and it provides wonderful contrast to the sea green couch. So glad you posted the "after".

It's beautiful! It frames the lovely window views.

Love Chelsea gray; now how about a wood coffee table to balance out all the wood in the kitchen. How about less but bigger plant pots?

Yup, rug, coffee table and just a couple of large plants will finish it off!

beautiful!!

Gorgeous room, nicely done Mishel4!
