It is important that the color in the different rooms around the house come together logically. Analyze each of the tones; determine which colors, and in what proportions, they complement each other to give the final result.

Here are ten household helpful hints for choosing room colors:

1 Brighten up the darker spaces by painting the walls in pale colors.

2 If you paint a high ceiling a dark color, will make it look lower.

3 A light blue or a gray make a small room seem wider.

4 Use the wall colors to mark off areas according to actives.

5 Red and reddish tones are bold, exciting colors which stimulate movement. They are especially suitable for work areas.

6 Yellows are warm, bright colors, ideal for dark spaces to make us feel cozy.

7 Green is essentially linked to life; it reminds us of nature and is perfect for interiors we want to connect with outside.

8 Blues are fresh, harmonious, and easy to combine. They remind us of vast extensions of sea and sky.

9 To make a room more radiant, you can paint the walls in light colors and introduce dashes of color through the furniture, complements, and ornaments.

10 Neutral colors like beiges and browns combine well with other tones and give the room a natural feel.
Color is clearly the most visible linking factor between separate rooms and is ideal for giving consistency to the decoration scheme of a whole house.

Hi,
We have a sort of blush color. But I know where you can get the most beautiful colors. Check out www.restorationhardware.com , and go to the store if you have one in your area. They've got great paint. It goes on smooth, looks even and the colors are unbelievable! Try the silver sage for a gorgeous turquoise green!

We just remodeled in January. We chose to paint 3 walls in Sherwin Williams' Antique Marble (a grey-green) and the third wall we papered in a metallic faux bronze & gold & green w/ grey lines. It is a clean asian color to match the Croscill Cassandra bedding we purchased.

I have two walls one color blue and the other two walls, two shades darker. It makes for a neat affect. My daughter has three walls blue and one wall yellow. It looks really nice.
