Can anyone give me some tips for painting over dark colours on walls without having to wallpaper first. In one room paint is water based and in another emulsion. I don't necessarily need to totally lose the original colours, just tone them down a bit.

Use a white primer over the dark paint, and then apply your paint over that.
