carolannr Compromise - do a deep red orange! Would really go with the earthy colors of your home.

Barbara Griffith Designs So just the wall with the glass doors is the Chocolate color? I see Gold in the kitchen and on the back wall of the dining area..is that correct? And what will you be keeping? Do you want to paint only the window wall in dining red? So you would then have 3 different colors here, is that it?

Barbara Griffith Designs PS the little "parentheses" are too small.

batesy82 Right now everything is the same color. Hot chocolate. The kitchen, half wall, dining room and into the open concept living room that adjoins to the right of the picture. It must just be the light playing tricks with the wall color.

Barbara Griffith Designs Frankly I like the all Hot Chocolate idea..NO accent wall. The space is quite small and will only be smaller with an accent wall. I suggest the following. You need pattern. Look for a great pair of 95/96" drapery panels for the window and the door if possible. Hang them high and off the window so mostly all shutter is showing. Maybe a trellis pattern. Or another pattern that may have some red in it. This will make the window look bigger, and the room soften. Then find a pair of something large, bulkier for the wall space between the panels and the corner.

blindsdirectcanada shutter looks great ! you can also have a shutter put on the patio it would look more consistent .

decoenthusiaste I would tend to do the bar between the two spaces as the accent and use drapes to enhance the window wall. Space is cramped, but just the bar might not be too much to give you a pop of another color. I like chocolate myself.

Keitha I suggest the red/ orange if you want an accent wall and would replace the sconces with something that has a little more presence. Draperies at the sliders would help soften all the hard edges

rawketgrl I vote for hot chocolate and drapes with cool hardware mounted close to ceiling. A texture or pattern would be nice to soften the area

JWinteriors I love the color you have used. You need a focal wall. However, painting it wont fix the problem. You have too much hardscape going on with nothing to soften it. As suggested, mount bronze hardware closed to the ceiling, using the 95" panels instead of the 84". I would double up and put 2 panels on either side for volume. Mount hardware beyond the window so that you are covering more wall and very little window. The end result will be dramatic and romantic!
