By taking a cue from clothing designers, adventuresome homeowners can paint their walls with vertical stripes also to enhance the sense of height. This technique can be applied with great success in a play space for children. When the objective is to make a large room feel cozy and intimate, paint color can again do the trick. If color alone isn't enough use color to create visual breaks. Divide your wall space horizontally with a chair rail and paint the upper and lower portions different colors.
Picture moldings are another visual device.
Paint the interior portion a different shade from the rest of the wall. All rights reserved.
