If it\\u2019s already a small space you\\u2019ll need a wood or tile floor and you can put a rug over that if you\\u2019d like. In terms of painting, paint it all the same color floor-to-ceiling except the border trim that\\u2019s on the inset tray that you talked about; that will accentuate it. When you choose the colors, think about how you want your guests to feel. Where the ceiling fan is, you can do a wide flush mount light or even better a flush mount chandelier like one from Kelly Wearstler. I would do wood blinds for window coverings. They are more decorative and allow for more light. They come in a wide range of colors as well.\\nThe space is actually very nice and you would never know it was a garage! I would make this feel like a hotel suite. So I would also add two chairs in front of the bed, a small thin dresser on the wall and also a TV there, on the wall where you have that glass-like dresser I would add a mirror, and then, of course, two nightstands.\\nIt could be so cozy in here!
