Painting the entire interior of a house will transform it from ordinary to stimulating, giving it more property value. Doing it right though, requires serious planning. Color selection is an integral part of the design rather than something which is applied superficially after.
The first thing we need is a vision of what we want to achieve. Set out your goals for the place. What is the desired emotional tone or ambiance of the space?

Some extra tips:
If you have clients, talk to them and have them tell you what they want out of it. Then it’s about finding the right combination and use of colors.
Look around the interior, register your thoughts and ideas. Keep in mind where will people walk around, the architecture, where the light comes in, the furnishings etc…
Finally, take photos, then edit them to explore ideas, like colors schemes, murals and possible furnishings. They are a great way to present early ideas to the client.
