Choosing the Right Colour

Magazines and TV programmes revel in completely transforming rooms with colour, which can be both inspiring and daunting when it comes to choosing paint schemes for your own home.

When choosing your colour, there are some basic considerations to take into account, such as the shape and size of the room, the effect of natural light, and features you want to draw attention to or hide. Even subtle variations of shade can have a significant impact on the overall look. There are simple ways to test colours and, even if you get it horribly wrong, it doesn't take long or cost too much to repaint a room.
