My Living Room What type of sunlight does this room receive?
Morning light What do you currently dislike about the room?
I don't like the wall with the fireplace and the bar. It is hard to know how best to handle this area. I want to replace all of the furniture.
The room has zero over head lighting. So light at night is an issue.
What pieces of existing furniture, lighting, art or accessories do you want to keep in the design?
I am keeping the 2 monitors and the TV but I'm fine with moving them. I don't want to remove the counter top in the kitchen. 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?
Paint Are you open to changing your floor covering?
Yes, Area Rugs Attach a floor plan
Additional comments to designers
I am fine to paint or add hardwired light fixtures. Occasionally I work from home so I need a desk in the space. I have tons of books that are currently stored in my bedroom but they could get stored in the living room.

Living Room:
Using lighter colors in your medium-sized room will make it feel more airy and bright
For your main color, we chose to use gray/off-white as it offers a fresh, clean, feel to the space. White/Gray 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 a matte finish paint because it will be helpful in camouflaging those surface imperfections such as bumps and cracks as it does not reflect light. Just be careful because matte finish is more difficult to clean. You may also need to touch up scratches or marks by adding more of the same paint in the future.
