Use color to divert attention away from an awkward or unattractive area in a room. For example if your view is less than attractive you can take the attention away from the window and into another part of the room by painting a wall in a bright or unexpected color. You could also strategically place a vivid poster or boldly colored wall hanging to draw the eye to another part of the room. Our eyes are naturally attracted to bold pops of color.

This works in the opposite way, too. I sometimes use color to hide things.

Great point Jennifer. Color can be an excellent disguise. I have used it in that way too. Thanks for mentioning it.
