Because of the green & maroon, I WOULDN’T use another bold color. Those ARE pretty strong. I think the tan is good, but that could be a little dark also. Maybe take it up a shade or 2 like cream or a very pale butter yellow. You sound like you almost don’t have any full walls—every one has a door or window. I would definitely split the room making it LR & DR. You can paint half the room the color most complimentary to the maroon & greeen and then take 1 shade difference over to the DR so that your eye doesn’t really perceive a different shade but look better in the DR area. If possible I would try to get the dining room down at the doorway that leads to the kitchen. Then ppl don’t have to walk through the LR to get to the table and possibly spill stuff along the way. Perhaps have the LR area down by the BR entrance. Hope you like the suggestions—GOOD LUCK!!!
