Summer Home Makeover: Paint Ideas for Bedrooms and Living Rooms
With summer in full swing, Indian homes seek not just cooler air, but cooler spaces. A fresh coat of paint using the right shades can transform the look and feel of interiors, especially in bedrooms and living rooms. When chosen wisely, soft, light tones reflect heat, calm the senses, and visually open up rooms. This year, the most popular summer home makeover ideas focus on colours that are refreshing, elegant, and ideal for high temperatures.
Astral Paints presents a curated palette of light, breezy shades that help beat the summer heat. These hues are not only beautiful but also functional, offering a cooler ambience, reduced visual heaviness, and a sense of relaxed comfort. With over 1400+ refreshing shades available through Colourtrip by Astral Paints, homeowners have access to the perfect blend of style and seasonal comfort.
Here are some handpicked bedroom paint ideas and living room colours that bring subtle charm, summer-ready brightness, and calm to your interiors.
Slush (Grey-Neutral Range)
The soft, low-sheen grey of Slush brightens up a space without creating glare. It’s especially suitable for sunlit bedrooms, as its gentle tone reflects natural light effectively. When combined with white linen and natural wood, Slush produces a fresh and airy interior. Applying Esteema Premium Interior Emulsion ensures the surface remains fade-free and heat-resistant throughout the summer.
This shade is perfect for those looking to refresh their interiors with a calm, simple, and inviting summer vibe.
Apollo Blue (Grey-Neutral Range)
The blue-grey tone of Apollo Blue delivers a cooling effect ideal for homes in hotter regions. It’s particularly well-suited to living rooms with large windows, where lighter colours help manage indoor warmth by reflecting sunlight instead of absorbing it. When paired with Elita Luxury Emulsion, the colour achieves a luxurious sheen and long-lasting silky finish.
This summer, Apollo Blue stands out as a top paint choice for creating stylish, heat-smart living spaces.
Jade Cream (Grey-Neutral Range)
Jade Cream blends soft grey with green to bring a touch of nature indoors without making the space feel heavy or dark.

With Esteema Premium Sheen Emulsion, Jade Cream retains its gentle elegance even in well-lit spaces.
Its cooling and space-enhancing qualities make it a smart choice for bedrooms in warm climates.
Banana Cream (Yellow Range)
Banana Cream’s soft yellow hue makes it an excellent pick for Indian summers. It doesn’t emit harsh warmth and is great for spaces like bedrooms and reading nooks.

It adds cheerful energy to summer renovations while remaining subtle and functional.
Lemon Balm (Yellow Range)
Lemon Balm is a mellow, pale yellow that brightens up spaces while maintaining a calm, relaxed feel. It’s particularly effective in top-floor flats or rooms with direct sunlight, thanks to its heat-reflective properties. When paired with Styla Smart Sheen Emulsion, it delivers a vibrant finish that requires minimal upkeep.
Among summer colours designed for hot climates, Lemon Balm stands out for its elegance and practicality.
Starlight (Yellow Range)
Starlight is a creamy base with subtle yellow undertones that filters sunlight gently, creating a soft, airy mood in bedrooms.
