If the walls have been painted before, you do not need a primer. Do use spackle to fill nail holes and any holes smaller than a dime. If there has been smoking in the room, wash the walls with a vinegar/water solution. Otherwise, wipe off the walls with a damp cloth to remove any dust or debris. If the walls are currently a dark or a deep tone of a color, you may want to use Kilz or a light colored paint first. Then, your new paint color will surely cover without the previous color bleeding through.

∙ 14y agoGenerally speaking bedroom walls are considered "low traffic" areas. Which means you don't usually have to wash them very often. This means you can comfortably use a lower sheen paint. My personal favourite paint for bedroom walls is a latex based , "eggshell" (lower luster than "satin" but higher luster - thus more washable- than "flat"). I tend to use a latex "satin" or "semi-gloss" for the trim, most often in a pure white - but that is a personal decorating preference.
Unless you are covering a very dark colour or an oil based paint, you really shouldn't need to prime the walls, just make sure they are patched (prime fresh patched areas well) and clean.
Colour is again a personal choice and something better discussed elsewhere.

The best color is one you love, and one that makes you feel relaxed and sleepy... or wild and sexy, depending on what the bedroom is mostly used for. ;)

∙ 11y agoWhen it comes to paint sheen and color schemes it is all a matter of personal taste. However, having said that there are basic standards of practice when choosing the right sheen for a given area.
All heavy use areas like kitchens, bathrooms and doorways are painted with an enamel because enamel is hard a durable. Whereas latex flat wall paint is not.
As for your living room and bedroom walls, the most common type of paint found in those areas is flat. Satin works equally well I'm a painter and in my house you'll find most of the walls in a satin finish with semi-gloss trim and a little high gloss accent here and there.
I hope this helps.
