Since colour varies according to light, you need to consider which direction your room is facing to determine the best colours for your room.

Let's discuss about rooms with two exposures. We are sure you have several doubts but worry not! Always keep in mind that the biggest window will have priority. Also note that if you have competing exposures, you might be dealing with both warm and cool colours when it comes to your paint options. You may want to think about which end of the colour wheel you prefer and which exposure that relates to.

South facing rooms have bright, warm light coming in the whole day. This light can wash colours out at the height of the day. In the morning, the west facing light could add some softness to the room. In the afternoon, the western light would warm up the room. What you need to focus on is the south facing wall. As long as they are larger or same size as the west facing ones, give them priority and pick warm colour options.

A room with windows on the southern and eastern walls will be somewhat nicely balanced. With the warm southern light through the entire day and the influence of the more subdued eastern light, this room can be lovely depending on the size of the windows. Focus on the east facing wall and choose cool tones to encourage the wonderful balance in the room.

A room that has windows on the southern wall and the northern wall will have warm, yellow light in the south end and cool blue light in the northern end. You need to choose a colour of your liking, preferably warm colours to suit the northern exposure.

These were some pointers for all those of you planning to paint your homes. Here's hoping that you have a great time picking out interior house paint colours for your rooms with two exposures. All the best!

It is best to start with your favourite colours as you won't get tired of seeing them in your home all the time. Let's get started!

PICK A WHITE
If you love bold colours, you can use a white for the trims, doors, cabinetry, insides of closets and furniture. However, take note that just like every other colour, whites have undertones that you will want to focus on.

PICK A NEUTRAL
This is perfect for walls that connect rooms such as open living spaces. You can try lovely beige, tan, grey, crisp white, cream and rich brown.

PICK ONE SATURATED COLOUR
Give life to the walls of your home by choosing a saturated or bold colour. Since we are talking about a whole house colour palette, this is going to be a main colour. Saturated colours often resemble actual gems, both in look as well as name, such as sapphire blue, emerald green or ruby red.

If you love colour, this probably won't be hard for you to do. If you are a bit shy of bold colour, don't be anxious. When we say pick a saturated or bold colour, you can actually try a lighter shade of the colour too!

PICK AN ACCENT COLOUR
This will be the accent colour in some spaces of your home. Unifying accent colours across rooms will give it a flow. Remember that the main accent colour in a room should appear at least thrice in different areas of the room so as to look intentional.

Before we reveal what colours we like, here are some pointers to get started. These are some ways in which you can choose exterior paint colours for Indians homes yourself. Just consider the surroundings and see what works best for you. There are two things you need to keep in mind before taking this decision – how well it lasts and how good it looks!

To narrow down your colour choices, you need to build an exterior palette around the elements of the house that will never change such as brick or stone components. You can pick contrasting but complementary colours to highlight such features.

If your home has beautiful windows or other architectural features, a black trim is a great way to draw attention to them. Paired with a white exterior, black trim will create a striking look.

You can try stone grey hue exteriors for an intense look, enhanced with lush greenery. You can also opt for an exuberant pairing like a shade of yellow and lavender to create a welcoming ambiance for your guests. These work wonderfully for those who love the natural colour palette.

For those who prefer a warm colour palette, pick pastel shades like orange for a tropical look and feel. If the exteriors of your house have stone textures, you can try a peppy colour for the main door to balance it out.

For someone who likes the cool colour palette, peach and brown shades for the home exteriors can lend a classy feel to your home.

With these trendy exterior paint colours, we are sure your guests will be charmed and you will succeed in creating the perfect impression.

Good luck!
