We have recently moved into a new house. The lounge is north facing and fairly dark at this time of year. We seem to have the lights on for most of the day. The lounge is about 21 ft long by 14 ft wide with the 14ft bit being mostly window at one end. it does mean that the back of the lounge is dark.
It's currently painted white and has no curtains. I think I'd opt to keep the white on the walls - any thoughts?
Curtains will be the main expense and I have drawn a blank. I thought a terracotta/coral/peach might work since it might bring some life to the room but I have looked at thousands of fabrics and these colours seem to be teamed with muted autumnal colours whilst I want something fresh. Are my thoughts too wierd?
Any tips or suggestions would be really welcome. TIA.
