Depends a lot on what you like really. However, if you have low ceilings as we do in an 1850 cottage, you can make the wall look taller by painting your coving the same as your walls, same with the skirting. If your ceilings are of standard height 7'6" or higher then there's no hard and fast rule, just what you may prefer. It's also quite fashionable these days to paint in that manner and also to paint the doors the same colour as the walls for a seemless look .

Could you hang the mirror on the back of your door? You may need to get stronger hinges to cope with the weight. As for paint for the drawers, either the same colour as the wall or the colour of your existing furniture and decorate as the previous commenter suggested. God luck with it. By the way . . Very neat bed-making there .

What a space! How about considering a white, or off-white, or alternative near neutral, before selecting cream? If you do choose cream, let it be because you love it in your space, rather than thinking it your only option. View paint chips before sampling in your space, to see which best fits with your floors and lighting before sampling further. Pulling one colour up over the walls and across the ceiling will blur the boundaries and add to a sense of airiness. Here you can compare the key attributes of one colour over another. Which Hue Family does it belong to and where within that Hue Family does it sit? (Hue) Which appears lighter? (Value) Which is more neutral? (Chroma) Which reflects the most light? (LRV) 🌈

we have a santa barbara style house in Arizona, it's about 3,000 st ft but tall ceilings.......we need to paint it (three exterior colors; wide/big fascia, body, and big pop outs). the roof is a cement tile sort of sunset/slightly orange sandy light color and the house has three sets of 4 'pipe vents' up high, same color as the tile roof). I am trying to get a......Spanish -ish look; dark brown big fascia, soft/creamy white-ish (but not boldly bright white), and some....color for the popouts toward the bottom. My thoughts are so far: Sherwin Williams 'Rookwood Dark Brown' for fascia (but I'm afraid it has too much 'red' in it??no idea), and S.W. 'Canvas tan' as the body, and S.W. 'Balanced Beige' for the (kind of big pop outs). FRONT DOOR: S.W. 'Iron Ore'. OR: S.W. 'Well-Bred Brown' or 'Plantation Shutters' for the fascia 'Accessible Beige' or 'Shitake' for the body, and 'Tony Taupe' or 'Taupe Tone' OR: because of HOA....... Dunn Edward colors: Metal Fringe for my fascia (which I'm afraid of because it is a bold wide fascia), Barnwood Gray or Pewter Patter for body, and, Fine Grain or Pewter Patter for popouts. and of course....I need to get done asap but I'm having a hard time with the colors. (I don't think the Dunn Edward colors will look right with the rood and pipe vents but not sure if I'll be able to pick the other SW Colors that are more of a warmer/creamier tone.
