Well, in about 24 hours I'll be done with all the legal/paperwork side of buying a house, and with about a week and half till the movers come in to put all my furniture in the house it's time to paint. But here lies the problem...I'm one of those super-computer nerds and have absolutly no sense of color schemes, decorating, etc.
So the room I'm going to be putting the ol' home theater/music system is (to add to the whole problem) shaped just plain wierd. The room is about 14-15ft wide, useable 17ft deep (another 10ft to the wall because of the staircase) and the worst part, the damn ceiling is 2 stories tall (I'm figuring a good 20-25ft). So when the room is basically taller than it is width or height wise (at least visually), so this leads to some problems with choosing a paint color. I fear if I go with to dark of a color it's going to make the room look even taller.
Some items in the room, the wall unit is black with dark grey spots (a granite wanna-be laminate). The seating right now is a dark hunter green, but that may change to black (I have a weakness for dark hunter green). The speakers are going to be black and cherry (light reddish tone), the DVD racks will be the same cherry. The floor is tile, and is an off-white/semi-beige like color, and I don't remember the grout color (but I think it's pretty light, there wasn't any big contrast).
So anybody have any ideas? I was thinking along the lines of a medium to light taupe color may bring a little something more to the room than just the basic white.
