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.

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.
