— -- Antonio Sabato Jr., the host of “Fix It and Finish It,” appeared on “Good Morning America” on Monday to share his home decorating tips.

The actor and former “Dancing With the Stars” contestant also put his expertise to the test when he competed in a home decorating face-off with “GMA”’s Lara Spencer, Amy Robach and Ginger Zee.

Below is some extra home decor advice from the actor.

Antonio’s Top 3 Tips for Adding Color and Style
Tip 1: Choose the right shade. Red stimulates the appetite, so it works well in kitchens or dining rooms. Blue is tranquil, so it works well in bedrooms. Yellow is bright and cheery, and green works well in living rooms.

Tip 2: Choose the right tool. Rollers work best for large flat surfaces, while brushes are excellent for corners, small spaces and molding.

Tip 3: Add pops of color. White is crisp and clean and works well in kitchens, but to add sparkle try replacing your cabinet hardware with a colorful alternative. You can also add cheery artwork to plain walls for a burst of brightness.
