The 'light' frame of mind for choosing paint colors

Selecting the right paint does not have to be a daunting task if you choose colors that work best for your spaces rather than focusing on trends, says Karen Luria, owner of Interior Identity Inc. in Alexandria. Simply because the "it" color for 2010 is turquoise does not mean it should be the focal point of your room.

"The rug is a great starting point when picking out colors," says Jean Molesworth Kee, owner of the Painted Room. "Color is the least expense but the most powerful and most controlled element in a room. Get the rug first; you can always tweak the color on the wall. It is much easier to do than trying to find a rug to match a paint color."
