I want to paint my dining room but do not know where to cut the paint off...My dining room is to left of the front door foyer area so two walls I would not have a problem with painting but the one wall extends into the foyer and to the front door. It is a smooth wall with wood molding about 3 ft off ground, no distinction as you move room to room as the molding continues into foyer. Paint just the two walls & not the 3rd? Make a line and just dont go over it on third wall? Any help would be great.

You could try making an accent wall. That's basically when you pick a more dynamic but complimentary color and paint one wall that color. You can use that wall then as a focal point for art or a special piece of furniture, maybe a china cabinet if it's in your dining room.
Color is a powerful tool and if you start cutting off the flow of your rooms you could make your rooms feel smaller than they really are.

Thats the website for the paint company and you can try all sorts of paint colors and they have sample rooms you can color to get ideas with. I love this tool, and I think it will help give you lots of ideas.
Good Luck!

How about painting the two walls one color and the third wall and foyer a complimentary color that blends the two rooms? I use a chocolate brown all throughout my home and then each room has another color which goes along with the chocolate brown. It makes everything come together yet gives each room it's distinctive touch.

you could just paint the to walls as long as the color on the 3rd wall gose with what is on the other 2 wall should look good
