Determine what features, characteristics or finishes, which are already in the room you want to paint, must be considered as permanent. Consider furniture, cabinets, tile or a brick fireplace, etc. For example, if the wood of your cabinets has a red tone, make sure the color of the paint you choose is in harmony with this color.


Enhance your home's attractive architectural features like crown molding, window frames or even doors using a paint with a contrasting color - lighter or darker than the wall color - or by painting them with a gloss or flat paint. You can also make one wall more attractive wall by painting its edges with a paint of different color or by applying paint with a different finish in comparison with the paint in the wall.


You can unify rooms by using a common color trend. By using a common color trend, you can change both shade and color creating distinction among the spaces.


	Color can emphasize certain features and minimize others at the same time. A narrow room or space will look wider if you use dark colors on the short walls and light colors on the long walls. A ceiling appears higher by applying a light color, or appears lower by applying a dark color. By using colors like red, gold, orange or brown you can give to a big room a more intimate feel because these colors produce the sensation that walls advance toward you. By using colors like blue, green or violet you can help a small room seem larger because these colors produce the sensation that walls recede.

	Take into account that the color you choose may look different under daylight or even in the night. The tones of incandescent light have a different influence on the color than the Sun light during the day. Once you are aware of the influence of source and nature of light on the color perception, you can use this property to change your room's "mood" and then make the choice of colors that match to the ambience you like.
