Hi there,

Please give me your opinion on this - I will be painting soon. I have a very small living room and I painted the crown molding, baseboards, door trim and window trim an off-white. Given the small size of the living room; there is a built-in, approx. 3.5 ft. tall bookcase that divides the living room from the kitchen. Should I paint the bookcase the same color as the wall to make it blend with the wall and increase the sense of space, or should I paint it the trim color? There is quite a bit of contrast between my trim and wall color because the wall color is a mid-tone color.
