Cozy Living Room Project Description
My wife and I recently purchase a home that we're interested in interior design help with. We'd like to start with the family room + kitchen. After we're done with that, we'll move to the living room, dining room and guest room on the bottom floor. And we'll also have the master bedroom, nursery, and office+guest combo on the top floor.Location

Living Room:
Since your room gets plenty of sunlight your color options are quite broad.
For your main color, we chose to use gray because it is neutral and seen as elegant and classy. It compliments many colors such as white, blue, and yellow and works well as part of a color scheme in any room.
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
