Pick wall color based on your furniture/rug/drapery colors. If you are buying new furniture, buy it and then choose wall color. There are hundreds of paint colors; you will always be able to choose a color to go with the furniture...

I think you're onto something about same color, or lighter/ airier for ceiling...

why the medium- gem blue?

Idk, but here's idea for all trim/windows white, or variation of:

I used old SW color called Limoge Cream, similar to this room. Many don't like peachy and pink together, but I wear them, and love em.

"Wood is also great with wall colors that already add warmth, such as a soft pink. Both have red undertones, so the lack of contrast makes both elements feel like they fit in peacefully."

What Threers said above. Paint color is last choice.

All one color.

Side casing of door and windows should extend to the floor, not die into the baseboard. Installation is wrong. Aside from that fact, you need to emphasize vertical lines because of the low ceiling.

The wide base is creating a strong horizontal line. Would be better is you can finish off the drywall at the floor for no baseboard. Also, finish drywall to eliminate the head casing on the door.

Hi every be! Thank you for your comment. We recently purchased this house. The room was a former porch thus the low ceilings. the previous owners added the flooring which was a big hole near the rounded windows where there was originally supposed to be a spiral stair But was never finished. There was a 1/2 inch gap between the windows and the flooring. My contractor suggested putting a baseboard to connect the space Thus the reason now there are baseboards. The size of the baseboard was determined from the hallway as you enter the room Thus the reason for the larger base. This room will be a laundry/exercise studio. It is on the second floor overlooking the backyard. The low ceilings were a concern to me since I did not want to feel closed in. I was originally thinking a dark color like medium blue thus the paint color on the wall, but I think it’s too dark. Now I am open to suggestions. The house was built in 1920 and is a craftsman Style. My colors in the house are SW alpaca with shell white trim. The dining room is SW Oceanside blue. I do live sherbet orange with pink and have a room in current house in that color. I am thinking of same color ceiling and walls but can’t decide to go with the alpaca or a light green like SW kind greeN. If I go with color walls should the trim be painted a dark color or light color Like navy blue? Or light color vertical lines? Any help is appreciated.

I’m also open to keeping some of the trim in the wood color. There is some wood rot on the bottom of the large rounded turret windows so I’m going to have to call and paint these. thank you !

I would paint the ceiling white since it is so low. I have SW Kind Green in my bathroom with a white ceiling, but if the ceiling had been painted the green it would have felt like it was right on top of my head. By the way, Kind Green is not really light, SW Slow Green is light.

I wouldn't paint ceiling white, but your idea of the wall paint lightened for least contrast, for soft look good imo -- unless laundry is a place of excitement then paint blue!! teasing.... stencil various figures exercising... !

I posted photo with thick baseboard same white as wall - makes board practically disappear ...I don't think wood stain at window necessary, cause it's not a 'dressy' -decor room... they don't need to stand out, or do they in your wish?

What will be inside the 'box'.... if you want a funky room, maybe a unique window could be left stain, while adding other warm color, but in a rug:
