Rachael on Aug 28, 2012Becky--it is techinically an entryway though it extends further to the right and will be used as a sort of craft/sewing area. And Steve, not as of yet. We don't have a lot of artwork since we're still working on the walls to hang it on. ;) Soon, hopefully.Helpful Reply

Z on Aug 28, 2012Certain blues ("they" seem to feel aqua is the best) and yellows (on the cheery side) are suppose to be good for creativity. Since you already have the green I'd probably stay away from the aqua unless your green reads differently in real life. Maybe a pretty corn like yellow would work with both and look nice when the red door is open too. What colors will the furnishings be in the off white room?Helpful Reply

Sharron W on Oct 11, 2012I think a Khaki would be a great look with the red/white door .... and it would go well with greens or Blues or yellows if you incorporate them into the rest of the house...Helpful Reply

Lou Camp on Aug 11, 2015I painted my living area the red at the 2an1/2 ft bottom with a dusty mustard at the top and a yellowish tinted ceiling. U can make your trim light grey or walnut stain---I did both, the stained chair rail with the walnut stain and window trims taupiegrey. Everyone loved it!Helpful Reply

Jcraw on Nov 02, 2016I'd be tempted to stay with with the cream but put up crown molding, white or stained. Itwould make the space appear larger.. for fun, paint the ceiling your bedroom green.Helpful Reply
