Type and color of furniture
Whether your furniture comes from Shop
4 Furniture or some other
quality manufacturer, or you made it yourself, you should certainly take
its colour, size and style into consideration when looking to repaint
your walls.
For example, opulent and very elaborate furniture will against very bold wall colours will make a room look loud and garish. Gentle shades like beige, cream, peach are light non-intrusive colors that will enhance the look of a room.

Type of lighting in your home
If there is not very good lighting in your home light colors will generally brighten and dark colours will make the room seem dull. If you feel and urge to go with a dark color it is also important to remember
you get tired of bold colours very easily so think twice before you
choose a color like red. |

Depending on the type of personality you have you would react differently to certain colors. So it is important to decide what 'mood' you want your home or room to have. For example, if blue is your color of choice, a soft baby blue will
project serenity and calm, while a darker teal or a cobalt will project a trendy vibrancy.
