Actually, overthinking paint is kind of the point when it comes to design lol. The color and finish can completely change how a room feels throughout the day, so it's worth considering all angles. Like with accent walls, if you just slap on a dark color without thinking about sightlines, it can feel disjointed, as derek998 said. But when done intentionally, that same wall can create a cozy focal point that makes the bedroom more inviting. It's not just about aesthetics, it's about how the space functions for you daily. So yeah, maybe we are overthinking it, but that's how you avoid regrets and actually love your space lmao.

Actually, I get where you're coming from with the scripted feel, but I've seen those exercises work when there's genuine buy-in (which is rare, admittedly). @evaf12's karaoke example sounds painful, but sometimes a little structure can break the ice for teams that wouldn't interact otherwise. The key is whether the activity allows for authentic moments within the framework, not if it's perfectly spontaneous. Mandated fun is usually a disaster, but a well-facilitated script can provide a shared language that leads to real talk later.
