The Chair War

We have two chairs that are about the same color, but have totally different functions. One is from Design Within Reach and is a recliner. In order to take advantage of the full reclining function, it needs enough space behind it to push back. It was sitting up against the wall. The other chair is a swivel chair from Crate and Barrel with a matching foot stool. It is bulkier and though comfortable, takes up a lot of space. We have been trying to figure out how to maximize floor space and functionality so decided to switch them. The recliner now sits away from the wall next to the king size sofa bed couch, and the swivel chair is next to the small leather couch and just seems to work better in the room. We also moved around the side tables, lamps, and foot stools making for better conversation spaces. I'm still struggling with wall color. The beige and eggshell colors are quite blah, but maybe they are not so bad after all? Does anyone have an opinion? I'd love to hear it! I used to have a designer friend in Milwaukee, and could alway depend on him. I don't have that luxury here and can't seem to make up my mind.
