Soggiorno Problematico

To optimize the lighting in your space, it is highly beneficial to minimize dark surfaces, as lighter finishes reflect more light and make the room feel more expansive. For this reason, I have updated the dark accent wall to a lighter tone that harmonizes with the surrounding walls. To maximize this effect, I also recommend transitioning to lighter furniture pieces if your budget allows.

Regarding the kitchen wall, my recommendation is to maintain the current structural layout. The only exception would be if you envision incorporating a breakfast bar, which would require opening a pass-through window to connect the kitchen directly to the living area.
