Amanda: When in doubt --- ALWAYS go neutral. ...gray, beige, taupe, cream...
Do you have any fabrics that are in the room? That’s a great place to start for color inspiration. :)
Keep it neutral and restful. Avoid bright, bold colors, bold prints.
Place adequate lighting on dimmers to make it user friendly in both settings, and to avoid shadows.
Scandanavian design and color palettes keep things clean, calm, restful.
