Paint has the ability to completely transform a room for a relatively low cost and is one of the best bang-for-your-buck home improvement projects you can do over the span of a weekend.

Choosing colours for your home is a deeply personal choice and can be a bit intimidating. A good place to start is to decide if you want your rooms to be bright and light-filled, bold and dramatic or a combination of both.

Look to your furniture and decor for a colour direction. If your furniture is neutral, you can probably go with any colour on your walls. If your furniture is coloured, choose a paint colour that is more on the neutral side. Keep in mind that the colour you choose for one room should relate to the colours of the adjacent rooms.
