My usual instinct is to choose a nice deep colour and paint the whole room, but people keep on telling me that's a bad idea.
That one really is just a matter of taste. In my last place where I did all of my walls deep indigo I would sometimes just sit starting at them with a far-away happy smile because it just felt SO right. Other people probably would have hated it. The main reason I didn't repeat that in my current place is that I didn't get to ask the landlord about permission for painting until I had been there several months and by that point I didn't feel like moving all the furniture.
Light colors for common spaces and dark colors for bedrooms is my preference. But, well, that's me :)
