love paint not sure right for space

hi we have a townhouse on the beach which gets light front and back. we painted half of the kitchen and all the stairwells in BM shaker beige (love it) on a long way from the kitchen leading to living room and the entire LR we painted Nantucket Fog. The color is gorgeous, but I'm afraid that one wall doesn't get enough light and the color is gloomy for a beach house. the painter did a beautiful job. short of repainting, do you have any ideas of what we can do? Thank you so much.

Hi,
Great question! If you'd prefer not to repaint that wall, then I'd probably focus on the lighting in the room. See if you can adjust the lighting in the LR to brighten it up - sometimes it's as simple as adding another layer of light (a floor lamp, a set of table lamps,) or changing the type of bulbs you're using.

You can also add warmer or white accessories to counteract the gloom.

If you do decide to do a paint intervention, I would suggest using the Shaker Beige on an accent wall in the room, to warm it up, or a similar beige in a lighter color.

Hope this is helpful!
Diana

Thanks for the ideas!
