Ok ladies...i need paint advice.....
What color would you pick for this room?? it was a 2 car garage converted to a den. it's 20x20. the carpet is a brownish beige, and my couches are practically the same color (moved from old apartment and no money to replace them). i want to do a lighter color, but im afraid a beige will be too much. any suggestions?!
Thanks!

Re: Ok ladies...i need paint advice.....
A slate blue would be very nice with the tan. Or a blue/green color.
You could do something like this.
These are some paint color ideas I have found for my Family Room, that we will be doing soon.
ETA: what color is your room now?

Re: Ok ladies...i need paint advice.....
I wouldn't say RED red.....but my sister has a great reddish color in her living room, along with beige. They two walls are accented with the red and the other walls are beige...and it looks great!
Here's a picture, sorry I couldn't find one without my nephew 
You'll se the reddish wall straight ahead and then the opposite (not in the pic) is the same color. Then the wall on the right is beige; along witht he left wall as well.
ETA: the red wall is a partial half-wall too
Also added 2nd picture, which shows other side of room Image Attachment(s):

I'm not sure if you were planning on it, but you might want to get an area rug for the center fof the room (you can try Home Goods or Target for an inexpensive one), to breakup the brown a little. (Yes, carpet over carpet!)Then you can use one of the colors from the rug for the wall color.

I agree. you don't need it lighter, you need it kicked up a bit.
