Create Your Interior Colour Scheme
After you finalise on the style you desire, you need to select a paint colour scheme for your interior walls. Picking colour is the tricky part, as the colour palette you choose needs not only to look eye-catching, it also needs to feel personal and create the right tone for your home. The choice of colour has no fixed rule; you can choose the paint colours that are in trend or opt to choose what you find appealing. However, a trick to create an impressive interior home décor is to create a paint colour palette that has at least three colours or shades. One base colour that dominates the walls; An accent colour for the cushions, upholstery and focal wall and a third contrast for the trims, window panes and mouldings. Although all classic white homes are elegant and appealing, a pop of accent colours to accentuate and uplift the ambience can be a welcoming change. Remember, although more is merrier, using too many accents can be a bit overpowering, and adds to confusion in the décor theme.

A Touch of Texture
Textures are a welcome change to dull and flat walls. Linen drapes, a plush armchair, silk cushions, rattan furnishings, leather sofa and faux fur blanket, are elements that add different textures to the room and create a diversified setting. You can also choose to use texture paints to create patterns using one or more colours over the walls, can bring sophistication and style to the décor. There are plenty of texture paints and application techniques to choose amongst from fabrics/textiles, stucco, sand, popcorn and more, to add interest to your home décor effortlessly.
Declutter The Space
Too many attractive yet different pieces of furnishing and décor within one single room can clutter the space and confuse the onlooker. Too many chairs, stools, vases, and furnishing make a place feel disorganised and haphazard. Most designers recommend one large statement piece of furniture for even the smallest room, such as a cabinet or couch, which can be supplemented with a few well-chosen accessories that fit the room just right.
Accessorise
A glance at the work of the best interior designers will ensure you notice, the use of decorative tableware, bowls and wicker baskets, in an almost artistic way to add accessories to a room. Accessories in the accent colours can add a hint of glamour, for instance, a gold tray or candle holder, with a scented candle in the accent colour of choice. Although many times such accessories may seem frivolous, they are essential for a layered and ornate interior design scheme.
Accessorise
A Dash of Nature
Almost every designer décor scheme has flowers or plants in each room, including the restrooms. Merely adding a floral arrangement or indoor plant or even artificial plants in your home, can add a homely touch to your interior. If you cannot hire an interior designer yet desire a home that looks like it has been pulled from a magazine, these are the design ideas used by the most seasoned decorators.

FAQs
Which paint is best for interior walls in India?
+
Water-based acrylic emulsions are the most common choice for Indian interiors because they are durable, low odour and quick drying. Premium emulsions offer better washability, stain resistance and smoother finishes, while economy emulsions suit rarely used rooms. For humid areas, choose anti-fungal properties. Nerolac interior emulsions are available across these performance ranges.
How do I paint my home interior?
+
Move and cover furniture, then clean walls and repair cracks with filler. Sand rough areas and apply a suitable primer. Paint the ceiling first, followed by walls, using a brush for edges and a roller for large areas. Apply two coats with adequate drying time between them, and finish with doors and trims.
What is interior design and how does painting fit in?
+
Interior design is the planning of indoor spaces to be functional, comfortable and visually pleasing, covering layout, furniture, lighting, materials and colour. Painting is one of its most powerful tools because wall colour sets mood and ties elements together. Designers use paint to highlight features, zone open spaces and make rooms appear larger or cosier.
What factors decide the cost of interior painting?
+
Costs depend on total wall area, number of coats, the condition of walls, and how much repair and putty work is needed. Paint quality and finish also matter, as do special effects like textures or stencils. Labour rates vary by city. Asking for an itemised estimate helps you compare quotes fairly and avoid surprises.
What do interior designers consider when choosing wall colours?
+
Designers look at natural light, room orientation, furniture and flooring, the room's purpose, and the desired mood. They consider undertones so colours harmonise across rooms. They also use contrast to highlight architecture, and lighter or darker shades to adjust perceived size. Practical factors like washability and maintenance guide finish selection.
What mistakes should I avoid in interior painting?
+
Avoid painting over damp or flaking walls, since the new coat will fail quickly. Don't skip primer on new plaster or patched areas. Choosing very glossy finishes for large walls highlights imperfections. Buying too little paint in one batch can cause slight colour differences. Always check coverage and plan enough quantity for two coats.
