They're very poor-wearing colors in paint. You'll start having problems with scuff marks and wear within days. Instead, if you want to keep a warm, cozy feeling but avoid the ordinary, try a deep ivory. Use white as a trim to lighten the room, or dark brown to darken it. That'll give a nice aged feel to the walls. I recently repainted my master bedroom an olivey green (fairly light but still strong) and I have black curtains, black wrought iron bedframe, etc... It's very nice and not oppressive but not bland, either.For special effects, look into using a glaze on the walls. You can start with a plain base color (like the off-white you have) and add a brown or other color glaze. Use rags or a sponge for a mottled effect, or a stippling brush for a more regular textured look. A painter's comb can even make walls look like they're hung with fabric.And don't forget the (expensive) stone, suede, and metallic paints. A small splurge can have a dramatic effect if planned carefully. These might make good frames as suggested by others, or trim color. Don't think of your room as barn-shaped, but as a barrel vault. You could use stencils to make stone blocks, even add a trompe-l'oeil stair or window, etc...It all depends on if you want to get the job done today, or in a week, or if you have a month to spend on it.</blockquote>
