Transitional Living Room Project Description
We moved in the house a year ago and haven't really done anything in the space because I don't know what a good furniture arrangement would be. It's a good sized room, but there's doors and "traffic flow" from all sides! Location
Tallahassee, FL , United States
What are some of the interior design brands or stores that you like to shop at?
I don't shop too much at these places, but I love the styles at Room & Board, Crate & Barrel, and some Ethan Allen. I value quality craftsmanship and I'm willing to spend more on the big pieces. Dimensions

Room Label
My 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?
The only thing we dislike is that we don't know how to set this room up! We aren't crazy about the mustard colored feature wall. Our tastes run more towards the cooler tones. What pieces of existing furniture, lighting, art or accessories do you want to keep in the design?
The built-in bookshelf/cabinet unit in the space meets all of storage needs for the space. All existing furniture in the space can go - this is a blank slate! 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

Living Room:
Since your room gets plenty of sunlight your color options are quite broad.
For your main color, we chose to keep 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. For your accent wall, 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 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.
