Answer 1

play around with the Sherwin Williams color visualizer to find colors that you like. It is the best paint visualizer on the web, imho. I like how their color palette is laid out, I like that you can search by color family &amp; color name, the &quot;painted&quot; rooms look the most realistic, and it suggests coordinating color schemes. You can literally spend hours:

I think a pastel palette of &quot;grape mist&quot; (# 6548) and &quot;Rose colored&quot; (# 6303) would be a great color choice.

You can also take a photo of your house &amp; upload it to the makeover gallery on this website:

You can get color suggestions &amp; for $5 they&#039;ll photoshop them onto your room so that you can get an idea of what it will look like.

I think painting two walls checkered is toooo much work!  I think you should paint the one wall that you see right when you walk in checkered, and paint the other three a solid color.  Is this in your bedroom?  I would put your bed on the checkerboard wall.  What color is your decor?  Pick a color from your bedding or whatever to paint the rest of the room!  Red is a hard color to paint, it takes lots of coats to make it look even and smooth.  I&#039;d go with yellow if those are the choices!

click here and read about Heather&#039;s room, they did a checkerboard wall with foam board they cut into squares which would be way easier than taping off all the lines on the wall!

these people painted the wall a solid color and then just did checkered squares using polyurethane which is way awesome  because it&#039;s checkered dull and shiny instead of colors!

Its kind of hard to give you the advise when I don&#039;t know what color the checkered walls is. Is it black and white checker? Then I think red would be the best. But you also have to look at the color of the furniture, the rug and stuff like that.
