1. Have a signature color? Think about threading it throughout your home. Use it in a big way to paint a whole room or as a subtle accent color, like a pillow or a vase.

2. Use one shade from floor to ceiling. Paint the baseboards and crown molding the same color as the walls to make your room seem larger and the walls higher.

3. Smaller spaces lend themselves to bold color choices. Powder rooms, foyers or an office are great areas to saturate with your favorite daring paint color.

4. Choosing a wall paint color can be easy. Take your color hues from things that you love, like fabrics, whether it's accent pillows or a chair with patterns or prints.

5. Paint the interior doors a bright color for a surprise accent in your home.

6. Yellow will be brighter on your wall than it appears on the paint chip. so find the yellow that you like most on a paint chip, and then choose the color two shades down.

7. Be careful choosing yellow, It is the most eye straining color because of the light that it reflects and can even make babies cry. Be sure to use it in small amounts.
