Paint your Room Online to See What it Looks Like

So you decide the living room needs a make over. The first task? A lick of paint. So it’s off down to the DIY store to fetch yourself some tins of lovely paint. Having spent $40 on paint and brushes, drank 9 cups of tea, kicked over two cans and fell off your ladder you stand back to admire the new paintjob.

Dang! Not looking to great is it?

This is a mistake made my all of us at some point. And yet it could have so easily been avoided if we have of known about ColorJive before now. Basically, you upload a picture of the room you would like to paint (it’s best if there’s good lighting and its of a high resolution). Then, simply select which colour you would like by using their custom colour selecting tools.

I think this is a really great app that saves a lot of time and effort. It also works really well. One would expect it to be buggy or require a lot of manual input, but no; within a few minutes I had great pictures of of painted rooms without any of the effort of actually painting!

Now you have a good idea of what you living room/ bedroom, bathroom or kitchen will look like before you waste your whole Saturday painting only to do it over on Sunday.

Ask Us About Skins

Ask announced today that there skins options on the home page has been upgraded. When they launched Ask3D last year they saw great success by allowing its users to select from a list of skins for the home page. In the new upgrade a user can now actually completely personalise their ask search page by uploading their own skin. This is not a huge feature, but quite a fun one. How come I cant do something like this on Google?
