"I'm not sure how to 'color-up' this space. I love the lighting, the skylight and the high ceilings. I love the idea of using bold color, but I'm afraid to take the plunge. Also, I'm not sure how to cozy up the space, make it inviting, but still make it feel spacious. I think my 'style' is modern/casual, but I like global influences as well. Any of your suggestions would be helpful. I'm also on here all the time, so any questions fire away!!!! Thanks so much in advance. This community is so talented." Click here to answer.
