Choosing paint: Explore colors and shades

1) Never choose a paint color in an empty room or at paint shop. Compare color shades by also looking
     at the furniture fabric/wall hanging frames color before finalizing wall colors.
2) You can explore good color shades by clicking either of the following links:

3) If you don't get much sunlight, choose lighter colors to ensure room looks bright. Choose colors
     wisely as they convey a lot about your personality and interests.
4) Many companies offer 'test cans' now. Invest in testing few colors will help in finalizing colors fast.
    Avoid too dark colors where you spend most of your time. Shades of Blue & Green are the most
    soothing colors... also known to help reduce stress.

Painting Tips and precautions:

1) Don't forget to do the taping around all your floor moldings, mirrors, paintings, windows to minimize
     the huge cleaning effort after paint job is over.
2) Get uniformity in color: Since cans are prepared using color mixers, there may be a slight difference
     in different cans of same color. Mix several paint cans in a large bucket to get a consistent color.
3) Ceiling: Do not choose a dark color for ceiling as it will make the room look small. White is most
     popular as it makes the room look high/big. If you don't prefer white on ceiling, another option is to
     add a few drops of your wall color to can of ceiling paint & get a soft version of wall color on ceiling.
4) More than half the time should be spent in 'preparing' the walls. Ensure walls are dusted well with
     a broom or vacuum cleaner before a paint coat is applied to avoid any peeling of paint in future.
5) Make sure that the painter start painting rooms from the top/ceiling and work their way down.
6) Do not ignore the exterior facade. Having a great interior paint but bad/dirty exterior is not good.
     Choose colors that coordinate with buildings around you and a good quality paint that will protect
     your house from sunlight and help bring the hot temperature down inside your house.
7) Autumn is the best season to paint. Avoid rainy season as the excessive humidity & not fully dried
     primer usually causes the paint to bubble/peel later.
