Commitment to bold or unusual color treatments before you have had the chance to consider how such changes will coordinate with your furniture placement isn’t very advisable in this kind of situation.

Insulation is a way of capturing dead air and causing it to slow down the flow of hot energy toward a cold distance. Personally, I would rather utilize blown cellulose insulation.
