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.

It depends on what kind of mood you want to create. If you want it to be a fun room with lots of action, use bold colors and prints. If you are like me and want your bedroom to be a retreat, a place to relax then use soothing soft shades. Blues and greens are very tranquil and some very light yellows. My bedroom is painted yellowish (French Vanilla from Sherwin Williams) with white trim. I have a quilt with yellow, green and pink in it and white sheers over a white 2" blind on the windows. I have a white wicker headboard and use lots of pillows. You can even replace your ceiling fan with a crystal chandellier for even more romance. Place flowers, candles, books, throws, and pretty things that you like to look at all around the room. You could also paint one wall a deeper shade for accent. Mix it up. Nothing is more boring than a room where everything perfectly matches. Mix patterns. Checks, stripes and flowers all in the same colors. Have fun! The sky's the limit.

No one can tell you what you like.
So my suggestion is to try out your ideas. Pick a 2 foot by 2 foot area on a wall and paint it with the colors and design you are thinking of and leave it up for a week or two. You may find you like it, at which point you can extend it through the room. Or if you don't like it, you only have to re-paint a small section.

i at the instant painted the interior wall of my storage outstanding lime green and including a floor rug with geometric varieties in colorations of blue and pinkish purple. the base line is to not get too lots of the pinkish purple (i'm torn which coloration it fairly is...if I had to assert one or the different, i might say it particularly is violet). White furnishings fairly breaks up the colour and makes the contents of the room pop. Then, you ought to purchase 4 or greater memo boards (those boards with the criss-pass ribbons) and carry them at the same time on your pictures. As for the exciting stuff, shop it to issues which you will actually eliminate from the room, like a rotating colourful lamp (they make those to look like disco balls) that shoot coloration everywhere. something fairly that creates action. you apart from mght choose a valuable portray on one way. something that truly appeals to you. It might desire to be sufficiently vast which you won't be ready to pass over it once you come back in the room. Do you have any lava lamps mendacity around which you're actually not utilising? i comprehend, they are lame now, yet you may eliminate the lava area and use the lamp area to concentration on corners. in simple terms place the backside of the lava lamp on the floor in the back of a plant or basket and the sunshine is projected upward. confirm you do not placed too outstanding of a bulb in it although. in simple terms study what the utmost wattage bulb could be. it would inform you. it is likewise valuable to have a place to sit down down, talk on the telephone, study, do homework, despite, that's not your mattress, ideally via the window. Oh, a great theory, in case you may splurge is to purchase between the digital photograph frames. greater perfect yet, in case you have a working laptop or laptop on your room, pass to an exceptionally cool internet site and regulate the pictures of your individuals and create a show saver which you will view jointly as not on your laptop.

What you do is determine what is your absolute favorite color of them all and that most reflects your personality. If your girly then pink, etc. Use that color as your base color for your walls. If that's too big of a decision then pick a base color for each wall. In any event, once you get your base color down, then add stripes on each wall of all the colors in sporadic groupings. That will give you unique look to include all the colors you love.
