go to a paint store and look at color samples~ they will either have little color chips or a book that looks like this

p.s. dark colors will make the room look smaller..

Try a light orange or yellow in a matte finish [ glare will make it look shiny ].
1] Add some wall art - paintings, pictures, posters framed in similar materials. Any other wall decor such as tapestries, sconces would be good.
2] Furniture in unified woods and not too much of it - you need a bed, dresser, night table - think before you add to the mix.
3] a print that has a little or a lot of the wall color for bed, windows
4] use a second color from the print for lamps, pillows, vases
and other accessories
5] Add one or two large potted plants [ fake if not enough light ].
6] Try a large mirror on the wall without windows.
7] add a rug that matches or coordinates

The partitions of a mattress room could be randomly adorned like those of a teenager, painted in dark colorings and then overlaying them in posters, or subtly adorned in diminished pastel wallpaper like a toddler’s nursery. a generic determination for mattress room partitions as we talk could be to apply a function wall at the back of the mattress in a textured or patterned wallpaper, or contrasting paint colour to something of the room, coming up a backdrop for the mattress.

I suggest yellows, oranges these colors will bring in light and make the rooms appear bigger.

I think lighter color themes would be better as to utilize the little natural light. with some indoor plants.
