I'm not against colorful homes. There's bright, and then there's too bright. I wouldn't go with persimmon for the whole house. The photo you provided has lots of white trim which offsets the orange, but your house doesn't have that much trim (unless you were planning on adding some, which I think would look good no matter what color you ultimately choose, but even so, I wouldn't go with persimmon for the whole house, as it's still too bright). To repeat what @nwduck said, the other homes in the neighborhood don't appear to all be done in the bright colors, and so yours would stand out too too much. I like @deco's idea of the bright door, if you really love a bright color. For the rest of the house, any more subdued color would be fine, along with additional trim around the windows, and assuming that your siding color coordinates with your roofing color.

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.

Hi Esha, One option is of course to highlight it, as rightly pointed out by Hyphen Designs. The other is to add more beams to the ceiling and turn it into a design element for your space. Attaching some pictures for your reference. depending on the look of the space - you could choose how rustic you want to go with the kind of wood you use. you could clad the existing beam in wood and add maybe 2-3 more to introduce a pattern through repitition. if you find solid wooden beams a little too heavy, you could let them be finished in POP and paint and add some wood only at the base - just to create that highlight. and if you're ok with the wood - you could also probably add more beams than just 2-3 and give the ceiling a distinct look - like in this picture depending on the furniture layout you could highlight the singular beam in your room by painting it another colour or better still - i would stick to wood and maybe hang some lights or a nice installation that would add character to the space. if you dont like the wood.. you could probably add split levels to the ceiling coming out of the beam and highlight them by introducing some indirect tray lighting that would accentuate the levels. hope this helps!

Hi, Don't you think your query is very open ended. There are thousands of color options available. Ideally you should look at few pics that suits your choice and then get a feedback on those for final color palette selection. Thanks, Nitin Cornerstone Designs, Bangalore
