Start Small
If you are unsure about where to begin with colour, try it out in a bathroom, a small area between rooms or an accent wall. You can seek inspiration from a rug, a few dishes, an accessory or a piece of furniture as a main colour or accent. Inspiration can come in any form, from anywhere - from the view from your windows or even from a tree that you love!

Think About The Mood
When picking a colour, consider the mood of the room. Choose hues based on the way you want to feel when you step into the living room. Pink exudes a feminine vibe while red exudes passion and boldness. Orange evokes cosiness and warmth, yellow exudes cheerfulness while green exudes tranquillity. Blue has a calming impact while violet is stimulating. You can manipulate the colours to your home's advantage and set the mood you desire.

Pay Attention to Lighting
Natural daylight shows the truest colour in a living room. Incandescent light brings out warm tones and yellows. Fluorescent lighting casts a sharp blue tone. A strong colour may be too bright and overpowering when used on walls or next to a large window, but it would be ideal for accent walls with indirect lighting in your living room.

Test Your Colour Choice
It is wise to test your paint choices on large areas of a wall or on a board. Try to go beyond your comfort zone and opt for strong colours or soft, deep neutrals as main or accent colours. Why ignore the ceilings? You can add a dramatic touch to them with a bold splash of colour.

Add Depth with Decorative Finishes
Spruce up plain and dull walls using subtle or dramatic texture. You can try various metal finishes to make your walls eye-catching.

Since you have learnt that different hues with its unique traits can have an uplifting or calming effect, it can go a long way in reflecting your personality too. Knowing how to best use individual colours can create a living room that you'll absolutely adore!

Here are some handy tips to boost the appeal of your exterior house design and invite in your guests...

1. Understand the Architecture: The style of your home will dictate the best colour choices. You can derive inspiration from some historical architecture in the same style to choose the best colours.
2. Play around with your permanent materials: If you have an existing brick or stone foundation, patio, or accents, work with their underlying tones while choosing exterior paint colours.
3. Take advantage of technology: It's always a great idea to check online tools that let you see how a colour will look on the wall before you paint it. You can experiment with different colours and combinations to pick one that reflects your personality and one that complements the colour scheme of your home interiors.
4. Remember the details: When you choose a colour for your home's exterior, you need to pick at least two, probably three or four colours: The main colour, the trim colour for windows, architectural accents and possibly a fourth colour for the door.
5. Work with swatches: Invest in test sizes of the paint colours you are considering and paint some brush-outs on the exterior. Make sure to put some colour on both the north and south sides of the home, where lighting can vary dramatically, and also near any trim you are coordinating with. Take a look at the paint samples at different times during the day to get the best idea of how the finished product will look.
6. Introduce decorative textures: You need not play with just colours on your home exteriors. You can choose from a range of decorative textures that are available. You can combine textured walls with suitable colours for a unique look.

These are some of the ways in which you can choose exterior paint colours for your home. Just consider the surroundings and see what works best for you. Good luck!

1. What's the quickest, easiest makeover you can do to your home? Paint your front door a statement colour that stands out from the rest of it. Try a stunning historical blue or a striking ruby red – it is surely not something you see every day.
   
2. If you are colour shy, go with all-white walls. The absence of colour is as effective as the presence of it!
   
3. Use a variety of neutral shades and have fun mixing several textures in the rooms of your home to keep things interesting and visually appealing.
   
4. Modern paint effects like textures and stencils create interest and surprise. Think of these effects as unframed artwork adorning your favourite walls.
   
5. Add a splash of colour to neutral walls by choosing ceiling and painting them a different, often contrasting, colour from the main wall.
   
6. Give a new lease of life to your favourite chairs, tables, dressers, drawers and desks with a new colour or coat of paint. You will be surprised how quickly it will become your new favourite accent piece.
   
7. Make the kitchen pop by bringing in a bold colour. You can draw some inspiration from here:https://www.bergerpaints.com/colour-magazine/november/2015/decor/
