Bedroom Blues
Blue is the most common bedroom color, probably because of it's soothing quality and appeal to both sexes.
Make it work for you:
-- Choose a soft shade that brightens during the day, but isn't to light at bedtime.
-- Spread the color joy to the ceiling and paint it the same shade.
-- Match the shade with light neutrals and blue and tan bedding.
Go Light and Bright
Make it work for you:
-- Pick the lightest shade available and plan to perk it up with vivid accessories.
-- Focus the brightest point of color off the wall, such as the green checkered rug in this bedroom.
-- Branch out into the same color family, choosing bedding and other furniture in yellow-green.
Sidekicks for Blue
Blue paired with subtle accent colors and natural elements looks pretty, not pretentious.
Make it work for you:
-- Use natural bamboo shades to add texture and to keep the blue from looking overdone.
-- Choose a warm accent color and sneak it in, like the yellow strip on the armchair and the checked rug.
-- Vary the patterns on the larger elements in the room. Go with solid on the wall, striped on the chair, and a casual floral for the headboard.

Layer Brights
Make it work for you:
-- Lighten up a strong cool hue with bright white trim.
-- Choose contrasting accent colors to give the wall color an edge.
-- If your rooms open into one another, choose a different shade of the same color for the paint.
Work the Trends
Make it work for you:
-- Invest in one high-impact piece with both the colors -- Choose one of the colors to accessorize with; when you want to redecorate you just have to switch out pillows and artwork.
-- Make inexpensive artwork by painting different widths of stripes on plain canvases.
Surprise Color
Make it work for you:
-- Try it in an unexpected place, like upholstering traditional chairs in electric purple.
Bold for All
Decorating in cool colors doesn't mean decorating in pastels.
Make it work for you:
-- Fill the room with colors of equal saturation: fresh blue on the walls, butter yellow furniture, and bright red accents.
-- Group color types -- cool blue on the walls, warm red and yellow at ground level.
-- Subdue the look with dark wood, or whitewash the wood for a beachside cottage look.
Cooking with Color
Even the kitchen can benefit from a shot of cool color.
Make it work for you:
-- Keep the cabinets white; they'll weather many redecorations.
-- Choose an eye-popping color since you're effectively painting only half the room.
-- Coordinate with your dishes if they'll be out in the open.

Turn Off Power
Turn off the circuit breaker that powers the switches or outlets on the wall, and remove any electrical covers.
Apply Wallpaper Remover
Spray or roll the wallpaper remover on the wall, then wait 15 minutes or so for it to soak through and loosen the paper. Be sure to wear protective eyewear when spraying wallpaper remover.
Peel Wallpaper
Apply a second coat of wallpaper remover to keep the paper moist. Use a putty or drywall knife to loosen the paper, then begin peeling it off. Be careful not to gouge the wall.
Remove Backing Layer
Often the top layer of wallpaper will separate from the backing. If this happens, apply the wallpaper remover again and repeat the process.
Patch Walls
Continue working until all the wallpaper has been removed. Patch any bad spots on the wall with spackling compound. Allow the spackling to dry and sand it smooth before painting.
