1)   Light colors make a room seem larger, while dark colors are best for accenting recessed areas and highlighting details.

2)   Use items in a room to provide color hints. Pick a piece of furniture, art or even a pillow for inspiration. Select your color preference and see what other collors work well with it.

2)   Connecting rooms should share color elements. For example, using the same color on molding in adjoining rooms unifies an open space.

3)   Use light and dark colors to create interest. Attractive architectural features, such as molding and columns, can be emphasized by painting them darker or lighter colors.

4)   Consider the home’s flooring. The color of the carpet, tile or hardwood flooring plays an important role in the feel of a room and affects how a color appears.

5)   Pay attention to the trim in a room. Painting the trim and walls the same color will remove attention to the trim and make it less noticeable. Using a contrasting color for the trim will give it a focal point, making the room more interesting, and add some dimension to the room.
