I need to paint the ceilings and walls. The ceilings are that horrible stucco like ceilings with the stuff that comes off if you touch it. I like the idea of using a pale grey for the walls...and having a focal wall...but the wall at the end of the room is mostly window so what wall should be the focal? And what do you suggest for paingting the ceilings? I will use the pale grey throughout...and maybe the darker grey for trim? I have a small one bedroom apt and an equally small budget.

As for furniture, I think small pieces will actually make the room look smaller bc it will FEEL smaller. A small chair or sofa won't be able to support you and your guests, and in turn you'll feel uncomfortable in the space. As crazy as it sounds, I say go for a big, plush furniture, and make the small space feel like the coziest place on Earth. Highlight comfort and cozy, and don't worry about the rest! -Sean Thanks for your comment William.

Would you also suggest light colored furniture in these small spaces or would the foucs be on just keeping things simple? I really love your advice for modest living quarters with color.
