<\/h1>\nOf course you can choose your favourite colours when decorating but there are other things to conisider. Establish the following things;<\/p>\n
It may all seem a lot to think about but the above checks do work, lets look at a few of these points in more detaill and break things down.<\/p>\n
Most schemes work well if based around 3 colours.<\/p>\n
Use a colour wheel.\u00a0A color wheel, which can be found easily through an Internet search, is a tool that arranges colors according to the wavelength of light needed to produce them. This tool is used frequently by designers to determine how to introduce unity or contrast into a decorating scheme.<\/p>\n

Of course when you are looking at paint charts from Paint suppliers such as Farrow and Ball and Dulux there are many shades falling into each category. However, the websites of most good paint provide details of which colours they suggest you pair together. So its perhaps not as daunting as it may seem !<\/p>\n
As a rule, a pure white ceilings and woodwork provide a crisp finish to all interiors. Its a tried and tested selection. Through the course of our blogs we will show you many interiors, some where people have chosen much bolder colours. However, for most residential properties its better to start off relatively safe !<\/p>\n
The quality of the light, the time of day, and even the time of year can change how we perceive colour under natural light. This means it can be difficult to know\u00a0 every element that might play tricks with your paint colour, but there is a top tip for outwitting unfavourable light conditions. It all comes down to considering the aspect of the room you\u2019re painting \u2013 whether it faces east, west, north, or south.<\/p>\n
North Facing Rooms – bring out cooler colours, use lighter shade and avoid anything with a green or grey base. Lighter shades will bounce light back into the room. Other trick are to used a wallpaper with a touch of iridescence or reflection in it, or indeed a mirror.<\/p>\n
South Facing Rooms – probably the easiest rooms to decorate as they will pretty much always be filled with warm tone of light.<\/p>\n
East and West facing rooms -it\u2019s useful to consider when you\u2019ll be using it most. Light in west facing spaces is cooler in the morning and brighter in the afternoon, while the opposite is true for east facing rooms.<\/p>\n
Just like natural light, artificial lighting can affect how colours appear. Halogen and incandescent bulbs emit yellow light, which makes wall colours appear warmer, while cool white bulbs tend to give off a bluer light, giving paint a cooler cast. For the truest representation of your chosen wall colour, you may want to try a neutral white bulb, which most accurately replicates daylight.<\/p>\n

The first and most traditional style of decorating as said before is to use rich colour on your walls and white on the woodwork, creating a crisp contrast and feeling of freshness.\u00a0For a sophisticated twist, try painting a darker shade on your trim \u2013 paired with paler walls, it allows the larger surface above to seem instantly lighter and airier. Or choose one single colour for your whole room to add a sense of calm and simplicity, making your space feel bigger as walls flow seamlessly across woodwork and onto the ceiling.<\/p>\n
