Since your room gets plenty of sunlight your color options are quite broad.
Paint the built-ins bold blue for a pop of color that adds a "wow" factor to this space!
Use a satin finish paint which has a bit more gloss than eggshell finish and is a little smoother. This finish is often used for windows, doors, trim, and ceilings, but can also be ideal walls in kids’ rooms, bathrooms, kitchens and other high-traffic areas because it is easier to clean than eggshell finish.

Project Title:
1930's Colonial Living Room Design
Project Description:
We moved from an apartment into a house and are struggling with furniture in our living room. We are basically starting from scratch - we are just keeping a side table and lamp, but the room is very long and narrow (the house is a 1930s colonial), so we are not sure how to place the furniture and what furniture goes best with style of our more traditional house. We obviously need furniture, but would also appreciate ideas on lighting, shades/drapes, rug, art, and how to style our built in shelves. I would also also appreciate your thoughts on wallpaper/paneling etc. for the space.

Items you want to keep:



Room Label:
My Living Room
I want this room to feel more masculine/feminine/neutral:
Neutral
What type of sunlight does this room receive?:
Mid-day light
What do you currently dislike about the room?:
We just moved in so nothing we dislike per se, I just think that the narrowness of the room makes it quite tricky in terms of furniture placement.
What pieces of existing furniture, lighting, art or accessories do you want to keep in the design?:
We would like to keep one side table and the lamp on top of the side table. We also have a framed Hermes scarf that we would ideally like to hang somewhere in the room.
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?:
Open to both
Are you open to changing your floor covering?:
No
Attach a floor plan:
Additional comments to designers:
In terms of design style, I like a more neutral, transitional look. The "Nancy Meyers" feel. Some designers I like are McGee and Company and Amber Interiors. Furniture stores I like are pottery barn, McGee and Co. and Serena and Lily.
In terms of layout- I would like to have a couch directly across from the tv/fireplace. I would like an ottoman to put our feet up on in front of the couch, rather than a coffee table.
One piece of furniture I have been thinking about is the York slope arm slipcovered sofa (https://www.potterybarn.com/products/york-slope-arm-slipcovered-sofa-collection/?pkey=csofa) from pottery barn. A bench seat in a linen fabric? Would appreciate your thoughts on that!
