Choose the colours for a room depending on how you want it to feel – cosy or warm, bright or calm, etc. However here are a few pointers to keep in mind while selecting the colours for your home. When selecting the type of paint, go for glossy latex for walls as they retain their colour for longer and stains can be easily cleaned up. Oil paints are good for window or door frames but require an additional latex coat. When it comes to painting ceilings, lig...
