How to raise ceiling?
Colours can be used to change the size of your home.
You may use 3 different shades of colour to make a low
ceiling appear higher. Simply use the strongest shade
of colour on the base of the room, then paint the medium
shade of colour for the walls, and finish off with the
lights tint of the colour for the ceiling. |

How to highlight features?
You like the special features you have created for
your home to be the centre of attention, for instance,
the ornate cornices, window frames and arches. To high-light
these features, contrasting colours may be used on these
features against your wall colour. |

of colour, and the side walls with a light or pastel
colour. |

How
to create warmth to your room?
To create a cosy atmosphere in your room, apply a colour
that is warm in tone. This simply means the colour has
more red and yellow than blue, which will instantly
make the room look and feel warmer. |
