I would brighten it up by painting the walls a more neutral color. Adding new bedding and fun pillows, artwork, etc. will add punches of color that will work nicely with the neutral backdrop. As a student I know designing in a budget friendly way is important. If you have an Ikea, HomeGoods, Gordmans or At Home to shop at, these are all great places to pick up interesting and fun pieces without breaking the bank. As far as space planning, from the picture it looks like a fairly long/narrow space- I would keep the bed at the back, back a sofa up to that and add a couple of comfy chairs and maybe an area rug. Dont forget the artwork too, this adds a very important layer to your space. Hope this makes sense and helps!

Hi Rahul Satija To answer your question, regarding which material to use for the outsides of your home Terracotta Brick - unless you have used bricks that are meant to be left exposed, ordinary bricks will take in a lot of water and leave the walls damp, and hence not a great idea. You could ofcourse cover it with a veneer of brick cladding but that is something we would not propose. Between wooden cladding and paint, it frankly depends completely on your budget. Wooden cladding looks extremely good but is quite pricey. Our suggestion would be to paint the majority of the home, with highlights in parts in wooden cladding.

Put a modern name plate with your dreams house name along with address. Just put one of my clients home. Point no.2: Use vibrant colour on exterior wall which maintain decency. Rest communicate us will provide some options.

Okay, Green and yellow together are popping too much , even if its a personal choice go for one of these colours (yellow or green) and preferably lighter shades. The red colour on the left also looks too off and can be avoided. Too much mustard in base makes it look dull. What you can do is go for more grey/white as base colour,mustard as filler and brown/dark grey as a bold colour and a yellow/green as popping colour as highligter. Some observations that you might try for the elevation. 1.Do not go for more than 4 colours 2.Try keeping your boundary wall to not merge too much with the house.(Especially the center part base and boundary wall) 3.Lighter colours on horizontally prominent areas(for example the base) and bold colors on vertical elements(for example the element on your right side that is in white color). 4. The central brown element with window can be made better with grooves in different color like brown with gold strip and giving the base a single color (that abrupt green is looking weird). For example, imagine that element in grey on white base or vice verca. You can also explore cladding materials in market for that center and get some good antique/stone or modern jaali finish as per your personal choice. 5.The Jaali on left is white and the base visible behind is also a light colour.Try to go for dark and light combination(either base dark or jaali, suggesting to keep base light and jaali dark so that sun shadows created patterns are visible).
