To apply painter’s tape correctly, make sure the surface is clean and dry, then apply the tape smoothly in one continuous motion. To remove the tape, start by peeling it back slowly from one corner, then use a putty knife or similar tool to remove any remaining adhesive.
Tape
Before applying tape, clean the surface you want to protect, like molding or walls. This will help the tape stick better and provide a clean surface for paint to adhere to. Apply a strip of tape that is 18-24 inches long to the ceiling, as close to the edge of the wall as possible. Roll the tape on in long strips. The fewer seams, the less paint will bleed behind the tape. Smooth the tape down so that it seals to the ceiling. This will avoid bubbles and wrinkles.
Tape
Remove the paint about an hour after the paint is applied, when it’s dry to the touch. If the paint is pulling up with the tape, feel the paint. If it’s still gummy, wait until it’s hard and dry before you peel off the tape. If the paint does feel completely dry, use a putty knife or razor blade to score the edge of the tape and break the seal. Pull off the tape at a 45 degree angle to the wall; this helps keep the line smooth and even.

White Colour
White serves as a balancing color. It can draw bridges from different elements, giving balance to space.

If you want to sell your property or want to to give your property a new ‘retouch’ paint is one of the most cost-effective ways to maximise the value of your property. However, deciding on the colours to use can be a confusing process.
A couple of things to keep in mind before you start choosing.
Use Minimum Colour Scheme
Pink and white brush
There is a recent trend for very minimalist-or classic- colour schemes which are not only modern and ‘cool’, but are also colours that protect the integrity and structure of your home.
When we talk about “cool” colours, this is not about popularity, but more about a modern colour scheme that helps you to protect your home.
No Darker Exterior Painting Colour
Lighter Exterior Painting Colour
Dark exterior painting colours can actually increase the internal heat of your home by at least 6%. They can draw so much heat to the outside that weatherboard timber can buckle and render can crack within no time at all. In saying this, a good quality exterior paint can reflect the sun’s rays to avoid this.
Consider Surrounding Environment
Environment
When we consider modern schemes from architects and designers, the home needs to suit the environment. A good way of checking this is by looking at your house from the other side of the street. The following five colours can be used in combination or individually to refresh the look of your home and ultimately enhance its curb appeal.

How does colour therapy work?
Colour therapy determines the energies of different colours to provide the best colour strategies for your home
Before we move on to the different spaces of your home and how to instil positive energy in them using wall colours, you need to know a bit about how colour therapy functions. Colour therapy provides extra attention to not just the shade of colour that you will use on your walls but also the sort of energies associated with them. For instance, the colour of the sky represents freedom while red signifies passion. Taking all the energies and the auras surrounding the space being coloured also into account, a colour therapy expert will determine which colour will be optimum for a particular home space.

Living Room
The bedroom is mainly a place for relaxation, healing and sleep. It is also a space for passion and sexual discovery. This idea is crucial to the decision taken by several couples when they paint their master bedroom a shade of red. Do not make this mistake! According to colour therapy experts from around the globe, you should not use overtly bright colours, especially red, in your bedroom. Colours such as red and orange prevent you from having a comfortable sleep, cause arguments and also physically harm those who already have an abundance of the fire element in their auras. It is therefore advised that you go for earthy shades such as beige, pink, clay, peach, brown, sky blue and so on that would calm you down and lull you to sleep.
A vibrant living room space for both fun and calm
The living space has to be the most attractive part of your home. You receive your guests here. So, it definitely demands a lot of attention. The living space should be able to provide your guests with a vibe of your home as well as reflect what kind of a person you are. So, go for something hybrid — shades of yellow, blue, or green because you might need some vibrant colours to make the space pop a little, mixed with a white backdrop, perfect for intimate discussions and some me-time. On one of the walls, go for wallpaper, wall murals, wall graffiti or maybe even wall doodles that portray what kind of a personality you possess as an individual. This will add a new dimension and incredible charm to your home decor.
Kitchen
A kitschy kitchen to add the fire, the warmth and the love to your home
As colour therapy experts, we usually tend to advise people to paint their kitchen walls with myriad shades of yellow, red and orange. This provides protection from the soot and oil as well as maintains a fiery element which is the major energy that must be a part of every kitchen. But, too many vibrant colours might not only be irritating for the eyes, but also cause fire hazards if overdone. If you have an open kitchen, it might even look too garish. So, mediate the shades with a mix of a pop of red or orange with some silver, peach, lemon yellow or other whitish tones. Remember that the key in maintaining vibrant energy lies in balance!
Bath Room
Soaking in the tub or taking a shower can wash away not only the grime from our bodies but also provide the rejuvenating energy we need. As a result, experts on colour theory suggest painting bathroom walls with soft shades like white or light blue or sea-green. All these colour suggestions feel soothing to the eyes and will make sure you exit your bathroom a brand new person. You might also consider having some minimalistic floral wallpaper or light-coloured tiles to add some extra oomph to your decor.
Last but not the least, remember a few key colour therapy tips that might come in handy if you plan on looking at a colour catalogue now to make up your mind when it comes to painting the walls of your own home.
