To make sure we select a Colour of the Year that feels relevant and timely, we undertake rigorous global research. Every year, we host a Trend Forecast and ask a panel of international design experts to share their insights about what will be influencing the way we live over the next few years.

You may makeover your living area and create a warm and inviting atmosphere for your family and friends with some wall paint ideas and advice. Any painting project around the house must start with surface preparation. In order to do this, the walls must be cleaned and any holes or cracks must be sealed.
