Choose a warm and rich, or soft and soothing hue, and envelope the space in it, including the ceiling.

Man Caves
Team colors or earthy tones can create a clubhouse atmosphere.
- These spaces are usually separate from the rest of the house (i.e. garage, game room, media room) so the color here doesn't need to match the rest of the house.
- Choose a sporty green, earthy brown or favorite team color to create a clubhouse atmosphere.
