Since your room is smaller using a dark and rich color will make it feel cozy, warm, and lounge-like
For the walls, trim, built-in cabinetry, and ceiling, a deep warm gray will wrap the room in a cozy, enveloping atmosphere, ideal for sinking into a good fantasy book. This unified tone creates a sense of depth and calm, while still feeling sophisticated and grounded. Sherwin-Williams’ “Iron Ore” (SW 7069)
To balance the richness of the main color, the couch corner features a slightly lighter tone, an earthy medium taupe that softens the space and introduces a bit of lightness. This subtle contrast helps keep the room from feeling too heavy, while maintaining a warm, cohesive palette. Sherwin-Williams’ “Tony Taupe” (SW 7038)
A semi-gloss finish could work well here! It has a slight shine and is very easy to clean, which makes it great for high-traffic areas or surfaces that need a bit more durability.

Items you want to keep:
Room Label:
My Living Room
I want this room to feel more masculine/feminine/neutral:
Feminine
What type of sunlight does this room receive?:
Very little sunlight
What do you currently dislike about the room?:
The room itself was never set up, it leads directly into our kids playroom so we never gave it official use. I am an avid reader and book girl so I would love to create a cozy but aesthetic space to read with a desk so that I could work when needed. I want it to be a cohesive space that feels comfortable but beautiful.
What pieces of existing furniture, lighting, art or accessories do you want to keep in the design?:
The only thing that I would need to keep is my computer and two monitors. We use a piece of our family room sectional as a chaise currently and I dont mind keeping it here either.
Are you open to changing your wall colors?:
Maybe
Are you open to changing your floor covering?:
No

Additional comments to designers:
I would love shelving and storage space because I have a lot of books/notebooks and supplies for my kids that I would want to store.
