There's a Kangaroo Room, an Eagle Room, and even an Ant Room. I'm staying in the Tiger Room. It's called the Tiger Room because there's a big tiger on the wall.

The colours you paint the rooms in your house can make you more comfortable. The following colours can help you to eat, sleep, study and relax in your own home.
The dining room
The colour orange can make you feel hungrier at mealtime. It also encourages more interesting talk between family members.
The bedroom
The perfect colour for your bedroom is blue. It is a very relaxing colour, and can make you feel happier and more positive when you wake up in the morning.
The study
Yellow is a good colour for this room: it makes you feel happier and helps you to think. It also makes dark spaces a little brighter.

The perfect colour for your living room is pink. Don’t use such colours as red, purple, and black because they don’t help you to relax.
