In my new house we have a huge great room thats to big to paint. its so boring we have atrium windows on one wall that let a lot of sunlight in so how can i add some color.
Not sure I ever heard of a room that was too big to paint, but fabric would be a quick way to add some spice to the room. If by "too big" you meant it had high vaulted ceilings, then definitely add some fabric.
I saw a great room on HGTV that had huge vaulted ceilings. The designer found a fabulous fabric and bought it in geat quantity. They used some to cover MDF boards and adhered them to the walls for panels. They made huge, long, custom draperies (you could get a simliar effect with iron on no sew tape and some nice rods and finials). They also made pillows and throws.
Area rugs will also help define "zones" or spaces within the larger room. Create a conversation "zone" or a "reading nook," etc.
Hope this was helpful.

I would go with bold colors. Maybe dark red. It should do the trick.

It is left to the furniture and the throw rugs and the carpets. Stuff you add. Beige goes with it all.
