PAINT COLOURS.
So today, we will be looking at paint colours. A few of us are experimental with the colour of paints we use on our walls, we stick with either the traditional white, off white or cream colour in most of our homes. There is nothing wrong with these colours, but we can be more experimental with some other colours which are also subtle and serene, more interesting, and still give your home that warm, cozy ambience it requires.
Considering the predominant weather condition here in Nigeria, where the weather is hot and humid, and the sun is high a large number of times all round the year, we will focus more on a few cool colours which will give our homes a soothing yet rich effect.   

 1. Parma gray: a soft, soothing blue that feels like the ocean and the sky and gives your home that cooling sea-breeze effect.

2. Citrony gray-green or olive: These colours are close to nature, but in a subtle way, hence it gives your home that 'garden' feeling.


3. Mustard yellow: Is a happy color, and has the ability to add a happy tint and warm pop of color to your space.


4. Beige: Is a colour of nature and is like the color of the desert. It is serene, calm and gives your home a cozy, warm, luxurious feel.

5. Peach: Is a hue of orange but serene, when used properly, it gives a luxurious feel to your home.

 6. Lilac and lavender: Is a soft hue of violet or purple, and connotes royalty. Lilac like light blue, can be relaxing and calming, and it can also be enchanting.
