As one of the top home painting companies in the Toronto area, we absolutely love reading interior design blogs, and figuring out the best color combinations to create an awesome interior.

One of the most underrated colors out there is blue.   Blue when used right can bring a feeling of calmness to your home and help induce relaxation.   Lighter blues especially can bring a relaxed but alive feeling to the house which is perfect for a work room.  If you live a busy life, you know the importance of getting some calm rest in.  Blue used on the exterior of a home can result in an eye catching result that will get a lot of positive attention.

A common thread among the following examples is that nobody skimped on the quality of paint.  Using cheap paint has many downfalls, and it’s something we don’t recommend at all.
