INPUT ARTICLE: Article: Spend some time thinking about how your room looks and feels now, and what you want to change or keep. Are there features in the room you want to play down or emphasize? Do you want your room to feel airier or cozier? The color you use can help you achieve the look and feel you have in mind. High contrast either in color or intensity can create a visual focal point of some feature in your room that you really love. Avoid sharp contrasts between color or intensity if you want to downplay areas or features in your room. Light or neutral colors can open up a small space. Deep, rich colors in warm tones will create a cozy, inviting space. Check to see if you can see other rooms from the room you plan to paint. If so, you'll want to make sure the colors of both rooms look good together. You don't have to paint the rooms the same color, but they should be coordinated. You want to have a sense of the proportions of the room as well as how much paint you are going to need based on the square footage. Wall color can change the way room size feels or appears. If you have a very large or a very small room, select a color that will make the most of your space. Avoid sharp contrasts between colors in small rooms. Try cooler tones in neutral shades to help the room feel larger. If you have a small room but have your heart set on a dark color, you could open up the space by painting a lighter accent wall or using the dark color as part of a pattern or stripes. Large rooms can feel more cozy with medium to deep colors in warm tones. How large or small the room feels or appears to be can be affected by the ceiling. For instance, a large room can feel smaller if the ceiling is low, and a smaller room can feel bigger if the ceiling is very high. With a large room and a high ceiling, or a small room with a low ceiling, a contrast in color tone or intensity can visually separate the walls and ceiling. This will make a larger space feel more intimate and a small space feel more expansive. If your room is small and has a high ceiling, or is large with a low ceiling, keep the color tones the same. Make sure that the contrast between the walls and ceilings is moderate or low. Room color appearance can change depending on how much light the room gets. Also, the kind of light in the room is a factor in how the color looks. Natural light will change during the day, so how it affects wall color will change too. Try out your color options first. Paint sections of the walls and check to see how it looks throughout the day. Lighting fixtures also impact how colors will look. Paint a few sections in your color options, and then turn on the lights you will use most often to see how they affect the color. Lighting can also affect the way a color looks depending on the underlying tone of the shade. Paint comes in three tones, which are warm, cool, and neutral. Warm colors have a red undertone, while cool colors have a blue undertone. Lighting can bring out these undertones. If your room has one or two large unbroken walls, the color you choose will have a big impact on the room overall. If there are multiple doors and windows throughout, your room will have a lot of color contrast between trim and door colors, and the wall color. If you want to downplay the contrast, paint all of the trim, doors, and window encasements the same color. Choose a color that compliments the wall color. If you want to play up the contrast, you may want to choose a glossy white for your trim, which will give the room a clean look. When you change the wall color and trim color, you need to make sure the ceiling coordinates and looks just as fresh as the newly painted walls. In addition, just as the tone and shade can change how the room's proportions feel, the ceiling color will have the same effect on how high or low the ceiling seems to be.

SUMMARY: Get a feel for the space as a whole. Evaluate the room's dimensions. Choose a color based on room size. Compare the ceiling height to the room's size. Take the amount of light into consideration. Consider the room's features. Paint the ceiling in a color that complements the walls.

In one sentence, describe what the following article is about: Choose a set of at least 4 chords to use in your love song. During each section of your song, play through the 4 chords in a different pattern. Make sure your chords aren't in minor since it will make your love song sound sad. For example, you may play C-F-G-F during your verse, but in your chorus, you may switch to A-F-C-G. Try using the E-flat Major, A Major, or B-flat Major for your love song since they have many cheerful notes. If you don't play an instrument, ask a friend or partner to help you bring your song to life. If you want to add extra pitches and melodies to your instrumental, try playing notes in the chord or key you're using in a different rhythm. Try out a few different note patterns to see what fits best with the song and how it sounds with the chords you're playing. This is done easily on a piano, but may be more difficult to play on a guitar or other stringed instrument. Look at the notes you're playing during your chord in the section of the song you're trying to sing. Match the tone of your voice to one of the notes you're playing so your singing is in tune with the instrumental you're writing. As you work through your song, change the pitch of your voice to keep your lyrics from sounding monotonous. Work your voice up to the note you're trying to hit. Play the note you want to include in your melody and warm up your voice by starting on a low note. Continue to raise the pitch of your voice until you reach the pitch you want. If you keep the same vocal pattern throughout your whole song, it might sound boring. Hold different syllables in your lyrics for longer and shorter amounts of time to add different rhythms to your song. Follow the same rhythm patterns in each of your verses so anyone listening can easily differentiate the parts of the song.
Summary: Pick chords on a major key to make your song sound happy. Play extra notes over the chords to add more interest to your song. Use notes from the chords for your vocal melody. Pick different rhythms for your vocal performance to keep your song interesting.
