my living room is very large, with 6 huge windows and a glass door going outside. im planning on painting soon but i cant decide if i should paint the living room and kitchen the same color (they are two separate rooms but open to each other) the kitchen has 3 large windows. WHERE can i get good advice on painting. what are some basic rules. i want to paint the walls and the ceiling but i dont want plain boring white, and i dont want it to look like a hospital or institution. i want something nice looking, but fun and modern.
if it helps any, in the living room we have a pool table, and the decorations on the walls are paintings of landscapes from the area i live (rural iceland) and huge old world maps in silver frames. right now i have brown leather couches but those will be replaced soon.

Ok before I can even start to randomly name colors there are alot of questions.
What is the flooring in the living room. What are the colors of the kitchen floor, counters and cabinets and what color shade. Is the trim in the room painted or wood.light or dark. What furniture are you planning on keeping. What style is it. What is currently covering the windows. Is you pool table the typical green felt. Are there area rugs.
Pictures and dimensions on http://www.flickr.com would be great too.
Perhaps a wallpaper on one long wall and then painting the rest of the room in a solid from the paper.
Ceiling tiles in a rich bronze or pewter may look great in there Personally I would keep the rooms masculine with deep colors and woods something like this http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_JAIb2O1px5Y/S8_GXwaI5BI/AAAAAAAAApc/qLdQOsjNy30/s1600/nautical+billiard+table.jpg
Wainscotting the walls will make them look rich http://www.wallpanellingcorp.com/showcase/images/recent-wall-panel-commission-1.jpg
A faux wainscotting and a rich gold above would work to lighten the room http://www.elitemouldings.com/gallery/SM5/elite%20wall%20panel%20wainscot%20and%20crown.jpg
