\nHi Tracey,
\nThank you for your interest in BEHR paint products!
\nSince you have high ceilings and get a lot of light, you have the flexibility of using dark colors for your walls without making your space seem too confined.\u00a0 The use of dark earth tones that complement your red floors and ceiling would be best to unify the room.\u00a0 I have found five different paint colors that you may want to consider for your living room.
\n\"Five<\/p>\n

Colorfully yours,<\/p>\n
