tamaltree, There are a few types of wood that don't take paint well. Heavy oily woods, like teak are the kind I mean. Most other kinds of wood will, so long as it is dry, clean and has a slightly rough surface for the paint to adhere to. If you are not a professional or an advanced amateur, don't try for the lacquer. It is toxic and highly flammable. Is that the information you were after?

Hello Sir, I do not understand- what do you mean by "changing the wall Designs." For coloring/wall papers/textured painting it is better to have finished wall. For wall cladding/tiling it is OK to have a non finished wall as well as they require a rough surface. For changing the tiles, its quite a messy, and wasteful expense. Rather, you can give the tiles of your choice to builder to install on the first go itself. Some builders don't allow such requests but others would happily do so. Some others may even offer a discount for not using their tiles. Same thing with paint as well you can give your colors to them to paint if you are not happy with white. Thanks, Nitin CORNERSTONE DESIGNS Bangalore.

go for monochrome black and white paintings. it will look stunning!

Keep things cool Cooler shades such as grey and blue help walls recede, making the room feel more spacious and light. Bring home the sunshine Light but warm colours such as terracotta or yellow can mimic sunshine and make a space feel bright and airy. Pale ceilings Keep the ceilings in a light colour to make the room appear larger and lighter. While white is your safest bet, you can opt for mint or sage green for a pop of colour.
