Adjoining spaces within your home can pose a challenge when you're trying to choose paint colorsfor your walls.

Don't stress.

Here are a few tips to help you create a pleasing color flow from one area of your home to the next.

The foyer makes a great first impression when using a dramatic, darker color in the entranceway like Georgian Bay, and a lighter shade like Fleur de Sel in the background, making your living space seem more open and spacious the moment you walk in.

Trying to create harmony between a main room and an open stairway, painting all of the trim, including railings and handrail, in the same color does the trick.

Try a color like spearmint paired here with pure white on the walls.

Do you prefer a bright color scheme in your home, but have a dark narrow hallway to contend with?

A light color paint like Blue Horizon in a glossy finish, is a brilliant idea.

Paint your hallway walls and trim the same light color to add height to your ceiling and width to your floor.

Have your heart set on a bold color like invigorate, but don't want to overdo it?

Use it as your primary color in one room and as an accent color in the adjoining room to tie them together.

Black fox makes a high contrast complement.

Do your living room and dining room share a common wall?

Extend a single color across the wall and paint your trim a shade lighter or darker to make it stand out.

If your rooms share a wall feature like a soffit try painting it the same color as your wall, so it blends in.

Here we see a lighter neutral: Magnetic Gray.

In large, open areas, don't be afraid to simply go extra white on your walls and use vivid colored accessories to bring it all to life.

Walls aren't always the answer to connecting your interior spaces.

Using a lighter shade like rock candy across your ceiling offers a sophisticated and stylish way to create a finished look to your room.
