By simple observations, you can turn an old room new using paint.
- Start with something that you love for your new room - a painting,
plate or pillow - and take your color clues from it.
- Dividing your wall with a horizontal line of color - like a contrasting
chair rail - will make it appear wider, while making the
ceiling appear lower.
- Repetition of color in your walls or accessories unites adjoining
rooms to create harmony and visual interest.
- Beautiful moldings deserve special attention. Paint them white to
highlight their details and create dynamic shadows.
- Introduce accent colors to a room in stages. Start with a pillow or
throw to see how it blends with your palette.
- An entryway is a great place to give visitors a glimpse of what they'll
see inside. Use color for a personalized welcome to your home.
- To achieve an attractive, balanced look for the exterior of your home,
choose darker colors for the foundation, and lighter colors
on the upper levels.
