Pro Tips
- **Color Psychology**: Living room colors affect mood and atmosphere - choose warm colors for coziness, cool colors for calm.
- **Natural Light**: Test paint colors in different lighting conditions throughout the day before making final decisions.
- **Traffic Patterns**: Use more durable finishes in high-traffic areas and near seating areas where walls may be touched.
- **Ceiling Color**: Consider painting ceilings a lighter shade of the wall color for visual height and cohesion.
- **Accent Walls**: Create visual interest with an accent wall behind the main seating area or fireplace.
- **Quality Investment**: Living rooms are high-visibility spaces - invest in quality paint for better coverage and longevity.
- **Sample Testing**: Always test paint samples on multiple walls to see how colors look in your specific lighting.
