Painting in this city can be so daunting. With all of the moldings, curved ceilings and such it makes paint difficult to envision. I totally get it, but I have found that most of my friends get so afraid to paint because of these small little issues. I encourage you to take the leap and get some color on the wall. Now, if you are afraid of picking the wrong color or maybe you want a certain color but think it might be 'too much'. So, why not take a cue from fashion and only paint part of the wall a color...
Even the smallest dash of color can make a BIG difference. It might be hard to imagine how it would look so I have put together some of my favorite inspirations to show you just how fab it can be.
I am a huge fan of color in the hallway and something like this is just perfect.
Afraid of black paint? Here is a great way to add it without killing the room with darkness.
DECORATOR TRICK: In New York, so many apartments have these great moldings about 12 inches or so below the ceiling. If you keep it white it makes the ceilings seem higher than they are.
You can create the same effect with just using a lighter color (like the lavender + blue combo below).

Love this! Especially that white and blue painted door.
Can't wait to see what you do when you get a new place.

I really love this concept. I always thought that color blocking could only be done on walls with a chair rail, but would be so easy on a basic flat wall. I love it!

Such a clever idea! We have a few tricky walls and I've kept them white, but not anymore ...

Those are some great ideas for paint and lots of ideas and colors I never even thought of. Very inspirational!
I am typically a white wall girl, but some of these looks are really cool. Love the blue that goes half way up the wall and door! So unexpected. The lavender and blue is super chic as well.
Every picture is an inspiration! My favourite is the black & white hallway. Wow! Please keep on posting :0)
Great ideas! My brother just bought a house, I cannot wait to show him all these great ideas for painting the rooms! Thanks!
