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

Items you want to keep:
Room Label:
My Living Room
I want this room to feel more masculine/feminine/neutral:
Other
What type of sunlight does this room receive?:
Very little sunlight
What do you currently dislike about the room?:
I dislike most aspects of this room. The lighting is terrible, the ceiling is lackluster and poorly painted. It originally had carpet that we removed. The textured drywall is intense and I’d like to go to a smoother wall finish. The window over the French doors has a clamshell type design on it and I’m not a fan of the whole thing. When the sun is setting it's a very harsh light and no window cover is going to look great on that window. The two 'pillars' by the staircases are obtrusive and block off too much of the room. It's currently a non-functional space that we avoid.
What pieces of existing furniture, lighting, art or accessories do you want to keep in the design?:
We like the plants and would like to better incorporate them.
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, Wood, Tile, Stone, Concrete
Attach a floor plan:
Additional comments to designers:
Other parts of the house will be updated over time, but this is the first substantial remodel that we are doing to the house. I would like to explore adding skylights to the ceiling and making what should be a great architectural feature something that adds to the space.

Versatile applications, multiple formats

Earth-friendly production, life-proof tiles
Designed to perfectly mimic the look of genuine limestone, Era is in fact made of porcelain, ethically manufactured in Italy. This LEED and EPD-certified collection—made from natural, raw materials from certified suppliers—meets the highest standards of environmentally friendly production methods.
