A vivid emerald-green paint on built-in bookshelves can transform a dated beige living room into a luxe, library-like space.
Between the color (beige, of course), the brick (red, of course), and the clunky ceiling fan, this generously sized room actually felt so much smaller than it really was. The secret to getting rid of the cave-like feel: The perfect white paint color (Sherwin-Williams' Pure White) applied all over. For the walls, it's in an eggshell finish; for the moldings, it's semigloss; for the ceiling, it's flat. That white paint is on the fireplace, too, in a formula made especially for masonry.
