A matter of asking why specific shades, instead of others, were used on certain walls. The following lines describe step by step (or, rather, room by room) a comprehensive proposal for house paint coating and interior design.
Coordinated colours for living rooms
Experts know that neutral are colours being neither warm nor cool (such as white, grey, cream, coffee brown etc.). Hence they increase the chance of harmonious matching to interior decoration and furnishing. Such neutrality constitutes a safe approach for the living room, as it is not restrictive.

Modern combination for your kitchen
Kitchen is a space that would require renewal, renovation and recoating at times, as it often deteriorates from cooking and intense use. It would be advisable to use balanced wall colours with a touch of energy and joy, two elements necessary for the most congenial corner of the house.
