This was my original thought but then the larger walls will not only be larger but will look twice the size as they are painted a bright colour and then the smaller walls will look half the size painted in dark colour than they are so in theory the room would look twice as bad as it did originally in terms of being an odd shape. My thoughts are the room would look narrower and longer.

If you've got a un-square room you can bring it into balance by painting the two short walls a darker colour than the longer walls.

There's two window walls and they are adjacent maybe do them darker?

I know I can do it how I want but I'm sure I heard if a room isn't square then painting walls darker help open it up but I don't know which way round it is :|

Paint it how you want too Kerry,i'd say smaller walls darker and bigger walls lighter. :)

When you paint a room with two walls dark and two walls light which walls should be which?

Is it the darker colour on the shorter walls?

Hope that makes sense :0
