I often look at my home and wonder what color to repaint...but I think we have selected the most complimentary color and don't want to change for change sake. Consider that as well - I love the starkness of the white for the style of your home and if you feel you need an update, maybe there are other things you could do, ie: landscape, stone, etc. Not much help in the color department - lol.

We are designing our apartment in the tropics that has a contemporary "safari" look with dark brown teak furniture and a beautiful open balcony loaded with tropical plants.. We have a cream marble floor provided by the landlord... And have selected a beige "stone finish" ceramic tile for the bedrooms... And an Oak dark wood floor for the master bedroom. What would be the best selection of wall paints you can recommend? We were contemplating a shade of grey as egg white and ivory are rather common here. Any thoughts...? Thanks!

What a beautiful house, Shahbaaz! I live in a similar house - a 150-year-old colonial bungalow in Kumaon. You have already received lots of excellent advice from better-qualified people, so all I would say is, keep its age and heritage character the central theme. The white tiles do clash, I am afraid ... flooring with terracotta tiles would echo the roof and look lovely. The columns and the arches over the doors and windows are amazing. But I'd say, leave it all chuna-painted - there's a beauty and softness to it. Don't let the painters add too much neel (indigo) in the limewash -- in the hills where I live, they put far too much if I don't watch out and the result is a harsh white. Natural lime has a softer, creamy look.

The headboard is definitely bright and lovely. but the window arch also gives nice rustic look to the room and makes it different
