Choosing Colour for your Room
In recent tips for a room makeover we looked at storage, space planning, keeping favourite things, furniture - now we want to look at Choosing Colour and Paint Effects
Do you want background colour, do you want something warm and vibrant? Do you want to make a statement? Or do you want a mixture? What do you really feel comfortable with?
Painted Stripes - My Favourite Way to Use Colour
For me colour effects is one of the most cost-effective tools I have at my disposal to transform a room.
We can use paint to add interest. We can use paint to create broad stripes, usually vertically, this adds texture, interest, warmth and depth. This works especially well in a hall, stairs and landing area.
Colour Stripes - Creating Luxury and Fun in Bedrooms
Without the use of expensive wallpaper we can create a very luxurious look and style in any room, particularly in the bedroom. In a child's room it add bursts of colour and fun.
I usually use a neutral tone with a slightly deeper shade to create a chique modern tailor-made colour scheme for your rooms.

Large Horizontal Stripes Unite A Room
Using large horizontal stripes right away around a room pulls the room together in a very blended and peaceful way.
Run large horizontal stripes behind a display unit. Maybe using the same colour to create a feature wall behind the fire place.
This can really pull the colour theme together.
Dining Room - Bringing the Room Together
Large painted colour stripes can work very well in a dining area of a room to bring the areas together - similarly with a recess alcove.
It also allows you to bring a modern twist to traditional furniture and room.
Barcode Colour - Great Modern Funky Twist
Barcode colour is also a great way to add life and a modern look to any child's room. It also works great in TV rooms, family areas and play rooms.
