I know this has been asked a lot and I've been through a lot of the old threads, and I'm still here asking for help
I am moving into a 2 bedroom condo that is 925 square feet. The kitchen is pretty small, and the living room is narrow but deep. I bought a great folding panel to divide the back of the living room into a reading area, with the couch in front of the panel for the tv area.
I thought I had all my colors picked out, but the more reading I do, the more I am told "Use light cool colors to make the space seem bigger!"
As it was, I was going to use a bold gray color for the majority of the condo... kitchen, hallway, part of the living room. In the "tv" area of the living room, there is a corner fireplace with just a plain wall overtop. I was going to paint that corner wall a deep red, and the back reading area the same deep red. However, now I'm worried the space will look too small! And now I feel maybe I want some color instead of just gray everywhere else!
My bathroom I will not budge on
I bought some chocolate colored furniture (vanity, shelves, medicine cabinet) and I will paint the walls lavender.
Does anyone have any advice on colors? Any pictures? Most of my furniture is neutral... browns, tans, etc. My kitchen table is a wooden top on black metal legs. The matching chairs have dark green seats which aren't my favorite but my grandma bought me the set brand new a few years ago so it's staying! I've never been big on cool colors in a home, but I don't want it to seem too small by using warm dark colors. And I definitely don't want white or off-white shades... I am a big fan of color
