Colour shades and décor trends tend to change very quickly. If you are looking forward to the hottest trending paints in 2018, we have listed them below.

1. Red- Crimsons and deep red are quite popular nowadays. These shades are generally used to contrast other simple shades like white. After many years of pastels, neutrals, and quiet palettes, people now opt for a bolder option. Red signifies change, strength and confidence.

   

    
2. Black- This colour has always been used to make a statement. This shade in its true form without the undertone could be a little rebellious, but surely gives a chance to express yourself. Matte black looks stunning and creates a beautiful impression. Black painted rooms are a current favourite as they help to create a dramatic yet elegant look.

   

    
3. Ocean blue – ocean blue is an opulent and mysterious colour. It indicates wanderlust and global interconnectedness. Looking at this colour can be very peaceful and relaxing. This colour is becoming a rage due to its soothing effect and its aesthetic look.

   

    
4. Pastel pink- This peach-salmon shade refuses to go away. This gorgeous shade will always be pleasing to our eyes. Pink also helps to reduce anxiety and keeps us calm. Thus, it provides an overall balance to our home. Fancy and funky can be used to compliment this colour.

   

    
5. Sea foam green- Green is considered as the most restful colour for the eye. Combining the refreshing quality of blue and the cheerfulness of yellow, green is suited for almost any room in the house. In the kitchen, green cools things down; in a family room or living room, it encourages unwinding but has enough warmth to promote comfort and togetherness.

   

    

We are finally looking at doing away with the tired trends of the past and embracing five of these fresh paints.

But there's another important aspect to this – the effect it will have on your child's mood. And that's why we're going to list down how different colours can work differently, and how you can make a more informed, intelligent decision. Here is some kids room painting ideas.

Red

A colour used in a lot of restaurants because it is believed to stimulate the appetite, it is a passionate and strong colour. It is also believed that it can increase BP and the heart rate. What this means is that while it is exciting, that excitement could tip over to more aggressive emotions too.

Playing around with the energy of your kid might be something you'd want to be careful about. Our advice is to keep it to an accent wall, because too much would tip the scale too far.

Pink

Pink can help cool a child down and calm their emotions, and is supposed to increase in a child one of the defining factors of humanity – our empathy. But because of how bright it is, too much of it can become jarring and an eyesore, so use it sparingly.

Orange

A fun and cheerful colour, orange inspires confidence and the kind of vibe a child needs to play in a more social setting. Like both the colours before, this is once again one which you have to use sparingly, so take it as an accent colour.

Yellow

The colour yellow, studies have shown, has helped children improve their ability to remember, and focus on their tasks. This works brilliantly if the child likes to finish their homework in the room, or even if they practice learning a new skill there. While it's associated with good cheer, it can make it difficult for a child who doesn't fall asleep easily to, well, fall asleep. So you know the drill—use it sparingly.

Green

Finally, a colour we won't ask you to use sparingly. Green has a very soothing effect, not unlike when we look at trees and grass. It works very well for children who are tense.

So there you have it. We hope you've now got a better idea for painting your kid's room.

Let's explore some reasons that waterproofing is something that you should do:

• If you see water running down or dripping on your basement walls or seeping through cracks, you need to check the foundation of your home as it is an indicator of something very wrong with it.
• If you see cracks in the foundation of your walls or ceilings, these are sure-shot signs of leakage problems and are a risk you must not take.
• If you sense dampness or water on the walls of your home, you need to seek professional help immediately and fix the issue.
• If you have a garden or yard that is always damp or wet, this may mean that one of the water pumps is broken or leaking. You cannot sit on the problem and wait for something worse to happen. Immediate remedial measures need to be taken.
• If you observe that the wooden floorings of your home have swollen, particularly in the lower corners of your walls, it is a clear sign of water infiltration. You have to tackle it immediately.
• If the humidity level inside your home is high, you will observe faint halos on the walls of your home. Do not take this lightly. Call for immediate professional assistance.
• If your house has recently suffered flooding during torrential rains, it goes without saying that you need to take quick action and seek professional guidance.

The costs associated with repairing a home that has been damaged from any of the above are not astronomical. Also, they are relatively easy to fix provided you have the know-how.
