Spruce Up Your Home This Summer With Simple Paint Application

Select the second- or preferably third-most prominent color from your bed linens or upholstered furniture as the color to paint the wall behind your bed or furniture grouping to pull the room together in designer style.

Display framed artwork or photography prominently and as an alternative to hanging art on a white wall. Match to a specific color within the artwork using a paint color fan. This will anchor the artwork and it will be displayed in a dramatic fashion.

Place pictures or sculpture against a wall painted in darker shades to add amazing depth and visual interest to not only the artwork, but to the room as a whole.

Mount large-screen plasma or LCD TVs on walls painted in darker shades and using flat finish paint. This reduces the glare and stress on the viewer’s eyes. You will be amazed how much more pleasant it is to watch television for long periods of time.
