Painting one wall in a room with a window????...?

Question

okay i am painting one room in my apartment a chocolate brown and the rest are off white, i have a window on one wall and on the opposite and built in closet and desk... from your past experiences would you suggest i paint the wall with the window or one of the side ones... im just wondering how it would look with a dark wall and light coming in from the window...

Answer 1

i would paint the wall with the window. that sounds like it would look really good..i like chocolate brown with off white. i think the window with light coming through would be a good contrast with the dark chocolate brown. along with the white walls..it just seems it would pull all together.!

good luck!

Answer 2

Answer 3

well i would paint the wall with the window the dark brown. then would make the trim of the window match the other walls with the off white but that is just me.

Answer 4

I would paint them all a warm brown, and then a different color on the wall the the desk and etc. Maybe a mint color or a warm blue and have coordinating brown artwork and accessories on the wall. I would leave it to a window treatment on that one wall do the work of adding some pizazz.  

Answer 5

that would look great do that :)

Answer 6

I would paint the wall with the window the dark color.  

Answer 7

I think you should do the walls without windows with the brown...it would look strange to have brown and then a nice light window in the middle.

if you put the brown on the sides then the windows would only cast soft warm shadows on the wall so it would look lighter at some angles( makes it look like warm chocolate).
