Let the trim remain visible
Moss paint gives the woodwork a distinct edge around the window and hall opening. The fireplace and glazed cabinet keep their darker outlines, which repeat at furniture height through the exposed teak frames.

Published
An illustrated concept for Pacific Northwest Craftsman living room.
Moss walls sit behind warm wood trim in this Seattle Craftsman concept. A teak-framed sofa and chair gather around a slatted table, with lamps beside the seats and a clear opening to the hall.
See the product sourcesThe lamps are already on, even with daylight at the windows. Their warm pools make sense beside the moss walls and the deep wood trim, bringing light down towards the seats. A three-cushion sofa sits beneath the grouped windows, while the armchair turns into the conversation. The frames are substantial, so the slatted coffee table adds a more open surface in the middle. Built-in cabinets take books off the floor, and the hall remains visible beyond the chair. The room has enough going on to let the cushions stay mostly plain.

Light the seats from both sides
A floor lamp stands to one side of the sofa and a table lamp to the other. Their shaded light stays near the seating, while a wall sconce adds another glow beside the fireplace.
What to borrow
In a room with substantial wood trim, test wall colors beside the actual finish before repainting the woodwork. Then place lamps where people sit, checking the route behind any armchair that turns into the room.
