i would paint the walls a yellow giving a feel of light and openess,
and paint one plain wall red or a burgundy.
as to rag rolling you have to apply the paint over a dry base i.e white, let it dry, then apply yellow as it is drying use a dry roller to take of excess paint.
an easier way is to apply the yellow paint with a seasponge same result heaps easier
