In most living rooms, painting all four walls the same color creates cohesion. For an accent wall, choose the wall behind your sofa or the fireplace wall.
A darker shade of the same color family on one wall adds depth without overwhelming. Or use the main color on walls and a contrasting shade on built-in shelving.
Eggshell for bedrooms. Satin for living rooms. Semi-gloss for bathrooms and kitchens.
Dark blues like Naval may require 2-3 coats. Primer is recommended when going from light to dark blue.
