Whether your rooms are large or small, choosing the right paint trends when it comes to painting a room can be daunting. After all, once the paint's been applied, even though it can be painted over, it's not always the simplest of tasks, involving time, effort and potentially more cost – especially if you've paid a decorator to do the work for you.

That said, there's nothing like a fresh coat of paint to revitalise your interior. Turning boring walls into jewellery box like delights, the power of paint to transform your home is unquestionable.
