I have a large open plan living area, which is effectively the size of 4 rooms. However there are only windows on one wall. This means that two "rooms" within this area, being interior, are quite dark - these rooms are the living room and the dining room. The other half of the space is brighter having the benefit of the windows, french doors and also skylights, and this area is home to the kitchen and the playroom. At some point in the next couple of years the playroom will be converted into a more formal dining area, and the current dining area will become a breakfast room.
Currently the whole space is painted a light lemon colour. I need to repaint - do I go for a lighter colour or a darker colour? I'm guessing if anything to go for lighter one as anything else will be too dark? Is white too much (especially as I'm repaiting due to the numerous child-made marks that simply won't come off...)
I appreciate that there may be an obvious answer - I'm just one of those people who is really bad at visualising stuff like this.
