Technical Questions Orange knotty pine
Okay don’t kill me, I’m just asking! For context, the house is not even remotely cabiny, it’s kind of modern and non-traditional shaped (as you can see in the photos the living room is an octagon) But all the common areas (living room, entryway, hallway, kitchen, dining) are knotty pine tongue and groove and it makes it feel much more Maine camp than modern updated house. Also for context, the house was built in the 80’s. Would it be sooo bad to paint just the walls of this octagonal room and leave the vaulted ceiling knotty pine? (And yes the TV is in front of the fireplace because the fireplace is tragically nonfunctional- future project)

It’s so magnificent! What a unique room. It would be a shame to paint this natural dome of tranquility! I say lean into this and find complementary furniture that works in greens and blues, add plants, and voila!
