It's time to pick three colors from your neutral paint strip for the walls, ceiling and trim. But what color
?goes where
On your neutral paint strip there are usually two very light shades, two medium shades, and two dark shades. For the walls, go to the two medium shades on your
. paint strip
Paint the walls the darkest of the medium shades in a flat finish. I know it looks dark here, but once up on all the walls it will look more like the lighter of those two medium colors
?The ceiling, too
Yes, do paint the ceilings. Introducing rich color on the walls while leaving the ceiling white will make your room look as if you've spread a big bedsheet over it. The ceiling will actually seem lower if left white. If the walls are nine feet or lower, paint the ceiling two shades lighter than your wall color also in a flat finish. If your ceilings are higher, paint them one shade darker than the wall color. By using two shades of the same color for your walls and ceiling, the light will now reflect evenly
. throughout the room
