Selecting Wall Colors to Showcase Your Room

When selecting wall colors, I have learned that over the years to start with one question – what do you want to showcase in the room? 

All great rooms have a focus – is it the craftsmanship of the woodwork, the scale and color of the walls, or the beauty of the furnishings?

              * Wall colors not only imparts your personal stamp, but can also visually alter your room.  In these budget conscious times, changing your wall color and applying wall texture remains one of the most affordable and practical ways to establish your personal style and make your house your home. 

              * Next, to showcase the craftsmanship woodwork, stress the architectural quality of a space by using contrasting colors on walls and moldings.  Nothing makes woodwork pop like a contrast to the wall color. Using paint with sheen will also provide dimension.

               * Focusing on the walls, decorative painting in niches, pillars and accent walls can showcase the best of your home. 

               * To spotlight furniture, use pale hues on walls to make dark wood furniture stand out and away from the walls.
