Exactly, Anele, which is why I say a lot that kitchens and other rooms there there isn't a lot of wall are great opportunities to go bold. Neutrals and softer colors are definitely for large wall areas.

Bold colors make trim pop, and that is why it's great in areas there there is a lot of trim, little wall area.

I think I agree... Maybe. I love color - deep tones. Its all over my house. In one very small bedroom with one window and one door there is a dark dark grey om the walls. It looks great because of the furniture. You can have more 'breaks' in your color than just architectual details. They can be piece sod furniture, pieces of art, lamps, headboards, etc. all these things break up the color.
