Room Label
New living room I want this room to feel more masculine/feminine/neutral
Neutral What type of sunlight does this room receive?
Mid-day light What do you currently dislike about the room?
It’s bare. It’s a large space getting wasted. We would like for it to be livable, however finishing it is too expensive, so we hope you can make it warm, welcoming and livable. We would like to have a sectional couch and we would put our tv downstairs. We could also have books. Finally we would like a little area for our daughter to play in the room. What pieces of existing furniture, lighting, art or accessories do you want to keep in the design?
None of the furniture you see in the pictures are to be kept. Are you open to changing your wall colors?
Yes Do you have a preference for either paint or wall covering, or are you open to both?

Other:
Since your room is large your color options with this room are quite broad
For your main color, we chose to use white/off-white as it offers a fresh, clean, feel to the space. White and off-white colors are often a favorite for walls because they are light, neutral, and match most color schemes. They are known to make rooms feel more airy and spacious.
Use an eggshell finish paint which has a very light touch of shine (similar texture to an eggshell as implied by its name). This finish is very often used for walls and is more durable and easier to clean than matte finish
