The sofa is dark choclate and light wood floors. The ceiling is about 7’9" huge picture window allowing alot of light..Should I go for a goldish with a green hue?
Right now all ways are a putty color and one wall terra cotta..now I want change due to the size of the room the terra cotta looks good but makes the room appear smaller what do you think?
Too funny Brad,,,you must have a real "special" nest to entertain the ladies dont ya? lol..you bad boy you

Excellent choice! I would definitely go for a dull olive for the walls, but add a trim with a darker earthy hugh to match the wood floors. Leaving the ceiling light would definitely make the room look bigger and more lively. Also adding an antique mirror or two would open it up. Hint: I did interior design thru a company called "Evolution" in the bay area, ca. Look them up, if you like what you see then you’ll take my advice
Good luck!
Interesting color choice, try a wall but leave the ceiling light.
i would go with taupe and one wall the wine, for drama
mint green or mauve for walls.
add mirror or mirrorred pictures with gold or brass frames.
Light Khaki for three walls and Olive Green for the fourth. Put a Moose Head on one wall, a Deer Head on the another wall, and a fully stuffed Bear standing in front of the huge picture window. The other wall should be reserved for the gun displays. Additionally, mounted game fish displayed on all walls as appropriate. Put a Polar Bear Rug in front of the Sofa. Nice oil lamps on the tables. I can see it now! And don’t forget, the box of expensive cigars next to the smoking chair. If you lady’s would like any other decorating hints, please feel free to email me direct.
i think a soft peach color
A textured look …
light peach of flat paint …
then use a disposable baby diaper to dab a darker more orangey peach semi-gloss over the top ….
this will give you a rich, light, and textured wall.
You could even have one wall a sandy brown just to add contrast… and to tie the room together.
Add lots of green plants to add life to the room.
You already have several strong colors in the room – I wouldn’t add another.
1] paint three walls ivory or taupe.Make drapes the opposite color [ taupe with ivory walls; ivory with taupe walls ].
2] paint the fourth wall wine, olive, or chocolate
3] throw some olive and taupe pillows on the sofa and chairs
4] add some brass [ gold ] accessories in lamps, candle holders, ornaments. Repeat in picture frames.
5] repeat the wine,olive, and chocolate in vases, flowerpots,
ornaments, candles
