Painting the interior of the house can be fun for some and a disaster for others.

When choosing paint colours, it's important to spend some time deciding the right colour scheme.  If you are unsure what to choose we recommend you get professional advice. 

When you choose a good colour scheme for your home it will improve the value of your property & increase the happiness of everyone living there. 

At the other extreme, choosing the wrong colours for your home can reduce the perceived value of your property and be disappointing and stressful for the entire family.

Choosing colours that suit your lifestyle

• What is the size of your room? Larger rooms can afford to have bolder colours than smaller rooms. Bigger rooms have more light and can be made feel more warm & inviting when painted with darker colours.  Smaller rooms are normally better with light colours, as they increase the perceived size of the room
• Are there windows in the room? Larger windows will add to the lightness and brightness of the colour, so rooms with no windows tend to look better with softer tones.
• What works with your furniture and furnishings?  If you have existing items that you want to keep and showcase in your newly painted home then it's important the colours you select are designed to compliment any artwork, furnitures, curtains and accessories etc that you will be displaying in each room. 

• Colour tips

  As a general rule floor colours are darker than walls and ceilings are lighter than walls, as this formula tends to make rooms look larger.  Naturally you can choose anything including bold colours and textured paints, however, you need to be very clear about the effect you want to create when you pick feature colours & get professional advice to ensure the colours you are choosing for the areas you want to paint, will all work together to give you the home environment you're after.
