Picking home colours can be a long and complicated job. There are many house painting colour combinations that you might want to try- especially in the external walls of your house, as it is what attracts the eyes of the viewers. You want the most perfect and the best colour for your house so as to make it stand out and distinctive. And so, the right preparations are needed to avoid regrets and mistakes.

If you want to choose the most-fitting exterior paint for your house, here are some tips that you should definitely consider!

  • Exterior Paint should protect your house as much as it should decor it.

Homeowners want not just the best colour , but also a quality exterior paint that works as an added layer of protection from weather damage, insects, and dust. The exterior paint should also be able to protect your dream house from extreme weather elements such as hot sunshine, UV rays, and rains so that the exterior paint remains for a longer period of time.

Berger Paints' Weather coat Longlife is a luxury category exterior emulsion that uses PU & Silicon Technology. The product is designed for heavy rainfall areas and provides excellent protection against extreme rain and exterior walls issues. PU gives robust film strength and unmatched sheen to the paint film. Moreover, it comes with a 10-years performance warranty so as to protect your home for a longer period of time.

  • Dark colors are not a good idea for your exterior walls.

Dark colours maybe your favorite but choosing it as the wall paint of your exterior walls is a very bad idea as dark colors absorb more heat and dust will be very much visible on it. Do check whether the paint is formulated with resins and tinted with the right colorants which ensure colours that remain vibrant for years to come.

  • Visualize the colours

With so many varied options to choose from, it is often difficult to decide which colour to go ahead with and so you may get your colours wrong- especially if your inspiration doesn't fit your home layout. To avoid such regrets, Berger Paints' Mobile application "Berger Color App" has a colour visualizer tool to help you pick the right colours and their respective paints. It also allows you to upload your house photo, compare different colour schemes and decide which colour best suits your house and vibe.

  • Waterproof advantages for your exterior wall paint

Exterior surfaces should be given one additional coat for better protection as these areas are prone to water accumulation. Using waterproofing products is one of the best options for it. Any water that does hit your home will simply run off-preventing water penetration and reduce dirt and staining of the walls. The paint to be used must possess waterproofing ability, high strength, high flexibility, and great resistance to weather conditions.

Your home is undoubtedly your haven but there are some special nooks and corner, or rooms that you often end up spending more time in than others. More often than not, it is your bedroom where you're most comfortable; it is the place where you unwind, where you see the first light of the day and therefore, it stands to reason that your bedroom should be the best decorated room too.

This edition, we have for you some simple style tips to spruce up your bedroom and make it a place even harder to leave when your morning alarm goes off!

1. Carpets or Rugs

There is nothing more annoying than stepping onto cold wooden or marble floors in a sleepy haze every morning. It sends a shock through you and is definitely not an ideal way to wake up. Cover the floor with a carpet entirely or select one long enough that extends a few feet either side of your bed.

2. Throw Pillows

While throw pillows make for uncomfortable back and head rests, they are awesome for cuddling with or just some extra support. Pad your cozy bed further with throw pillows covered in different colours and textures to add some depth to the look! The pillows need not be the exact same and can be of varying sizes and shapes too.

3. Wall Design

For your bedroom to be calming, it is very important for it to look well aired and uncluttered. Having a goodbedroom wall design goes a long way in determining that. Select soothing tones, or mirrors with ornate borders that give your nook a beautiful touch.

4. Pastels on walls

You can change the atmosphere of your bedroom by incorporating delicate hues. Pastel shades such as peach, powder blue, baby blue, light pink or mauve can give your bedroom walls a soft and an absolutely charming look.

5. Photographs and Artwork

Most people have both, photos and artwork scattered all over their homes, but the ones framed here are always slightly more personal. You must take your time choosing which pieces of art or photographs you would want to display in your bedroom. Art pieces that speak to you or are calming are preferable over chaotic pieces since those are unsettling.

6. A Smaller Seating Arrangement

Instead of having the bed as the only place where you can sit, having either a small seating arrangement in one side of the room, or a single armchair, settee etc. are great to have. You can sit there when you don't intend to sleep but still want to relax in the bedroom.

Sometimes it creeps up on you, and sometimes it hits you – but very few human beings today can claim that they have never felt low. And while the best thing to do always is to sort it out internally, we are simple creatures. A cup of ice-cream, a favourite song – something as simple as even this can lift our spirits.

But the disadvantage of the cup of ice-cream and song is that you can't eat ice-cream and listen to your favourite song everyday, unless you want to fall ill from all that sugar and 'milk' and break any electronic device that plays that song you now can't stand.

No. What would be nicer is something ambient. Something which is a big part of your life, yet is not intrusive to the senses.

We are talking of course, about your walls. And that's why we're going to give you some quick painting ideas so that whenever you wake up from bed or are sitting by your table with a cup of coffee, if nothing else, your walls will be able to make you feel like you are in a good place.

A blue hue – A colour which can create an aura of relaxation. Although its overuse in corporate spaces has associated it with a cold and formal vibe, it's actually a very warm colour, especially for the bedroom.

Yellow – Add some sunshine to your walls! This colour works great especially in making cramped areas, which normally don't help the spirits, look bigger and more spacious. Your kitchen or dining room could do well with this shade. But be careful – too much yellow and you've got an eyesore. Respect the sunshine, and use it intelligently.

Green – For the same reason we want to look outside a window at the trees, green is a serene colour which probably makes us feel more in touch with nature. And on your walls, that's the vibe it's going to give.

Purple – If a feminine and royal vibe is what gets you going, purple is the thing for you. But too much use of it isn't good.

3.Eye-catching wallpaper: Wallpapering an entire room is a huge commitment. However, you can add a little bit of pattern by wallpapering a single wall. Patterned wallpaper is one of the easiest interior design ideas to create a striking signature wall.

Painting your house is one of the most exciting activities to do. It completely transforms your house. While a fresh coat of paint elevates the look of your house from drab to delightful, you don't want to end up inhaling fumes of the paint that can cause nausea, dizziness, and headache. When renovating or doing maintenance, care must be taken to ensure that your health safety is a priority.

That's why we have shared a few important tips to help you keep health risks at bay when painting your home:

1. Opt for paints that are low in VOC

The paint you choose plays an important role in determining your health safety. When shopping for decorative paints for your house, make sure to opt for the ones that have low VOC (Volatile Organic Compound) content.
Most paints that contain VOC release solvents into the air during their drying process and the presence of solvents in the air can lead to dizziness and headaches. Silk Breathe Easy from Berger Paints Nepal has been formulated to emit 90% less VOC than other paints.

Apart from low VOC content, the 100% acrylic water base wall coating also has a high sheen, is silky to touch, resistant to scrub, and has a long working life. Also, the wall coat is easy to maintain as it has a superior resistivity to stains. The paint can be used even in places where there are people with breathing issues.

2. Keep the rooms properly ventilated

One of the important factors to consider when painting your rooms is to ensure proper ventilation. Make sure to keep all the doors and windows open to let outside air circulate in the rooms.
Another effective way to ensure proper ventilation in freshly-painted rooms is to use ceiling and exhaust fans. Make sure that you or your family members do not occupy the rooms that are freshly painted.

3. Wear proper safety equipment

Whether you are painting your home by yourself or regularly inspecting the work in progress, it's important to wear proper safety equipment such as a respirator mask/dust mask, safety goggles, and gloves. Make sure that everybody in the painting room wear these safety equipment in order to steer clear of the health risks.

4. Avoid leaving fresh paint near a heat source

One of the must-avoids when painting your rooms is to make sure that you don't leave the freshly painted areas near a heat source such as a heater, a geyser, a fireplace. This is because fresh paint can combust when exposed to heat sources.

5. Clean the rooms properly after old paint is removed

If you are not new to painting your rooms, you'd know that painters remove the old paint prior to applying a new primer coat. And when chipping off the old paint, a lot of dust and debris gets accumulated.

When cleaning the dust and debris, make sure to use damp cloth pieces. Do not sweep them in order to avoid them from flying off into the air and creating a dusty environment.

Berger Paints Nepal is committed to the idea of a sustainable future. It is for this that our Silk Breathe Easy has low VOC and doesn't contain lead, mercury, and chromium. To know more about environment-friendly practices, visit www.bergernepal.com/.

A cool ambience works wonders in beating the summer heat. Creating a cool ambience in your rooms in a natural way may seem a bit challenging but there are plenty of ways of how you can do it. Here are a few ways that will lend an air of coolness to your house:

1.Go for light colors: One no-fail way is to paint your rooms' walls in light colors. Unlike darker colors, lighter shades do not absorb much heat and go easy on the eyes. Nothing beats light blue when it comes to creating a cool ambience in your rooms. Apart from helping you create a cool and an easy-going ambience, light blue can also lend an air of sophistication when paired with other light colors such as creamy white, beige, and faded pink. Our light blue shade, Frosted Ice (5P0123) has a balanced tone; its soothing aesthetic calms the visual senses and puts the beholders at ease. This light blue shade looks best when illuminated by sunlight. As such, living and bedroom walls that are directly exposed to natural light make the perfect canvas.

2. Reduce direct sunlight: Direct sunlight can increase the indoor temperature of the house. Try to keep direct sunlight away from the room. However, if you don't want your room to look discolored, go for a color that mimics sunlight. Light yellow is the perfect pick for you. Unlike other lighter colors, light yellow has an intrinsic lively character which works great for imparting an element of fun in your rooms. A light yellow shade like our hue Soft Sarong (3P0068) makes a perfect pick for creating a cool ambience in your rooms while adding a flair of modernness to your favorite spaces. Use this shade to introduce an element of play into your bathroom walls.

3. Invest in quality curtains to keep the heat out: Utilizing shades, curtains and drapes can help you not only to keep the room cool, but they can also help reduce your power bills. You can also invest in a combination of thick blinds and sheer curtains. Whenever you want to experience the view, you can just draw the sheer curtain. Go for colors that are easy on eyes and give your room a classy feel.

4. Bring some plants in: One of the most effective and cheapest ways to keep your house cool in warm weather is to bring in some plants. Plants consume hot air and create a cool ambience. When you adorn your home with plants, they make space feel bright, lively, and gorgeous. You can either create a little lovely shrine in your balcony or place them in different corners of your house.

Before you go for waterproofing, make sure the cracks and patches are properly filled. Allow the fillers to dry, sand away uneven areas and then go for waterproofing.

3. Waterproofing: Whether you live in an area that receives heavy rainfall or moderate rainfall, waterproofing can protect your house from the damaging effect of invading moisture. If your exterior walls are not waterproofed, then they tend to become a haven for mildew and mould. Mildew and mould not only make the exteriors look ugly, but they can also pose a threat to your health. Proper waterproofing can help you keep these problems at bay while you enjoy the rain from your balcony while sipping a hot cup of tea.

4. Invest in a good primer while painting: Using a good primer before painting the exterior of your house creates a non-porous surface. Besides ensuring a clean and smooth surface, high-quality primer provides additional protection to your walls from humidity and moisture. It also increases the durability of the paint and prevents the formation of patches on the exterior walls.
