# New coat of paint

We can’t be seriously talking about decorating without mentioning painting. It is the simplest solution out there for giving the space a fresh look. If you’re thinking about just renewing the same old pale color you’ve previously used, better stop right there. It’s time to get out of your comfort zone, and opt for a little bolder option. Try using different patterns and more intense colors. Keep in mind, that if you’re painting a small room, a lighter color will make the space look bigger, and when it comes to bigger spaces, darker colors will compliment them. But, even in a huge room, all walls painted dark red, for example, would be a little too much. So the key is in creating perfectly harmonious combination of colors.

# WonderWalls

Depending on the available space, you can embellish them with real photo gallery, or one painting that will accentuate certain part of the room.
