Complementary colours are very appealing to the eye and bright bold colour palettes can look stunning. Use turquoise with soft shades of pastel pinks for a soft feminine look or add some punch with hot pinks and cranberry.
This post is part of my Ask The Designer series. Hi, I’d love to brighten up our kitchen as i find it quite dark.Its a kitchen/dining/living area combined. Its 25 ft by 14ft with terracotta floor tiles, solid ash kitchen units, black granite worktop,timber ceiling,timber blinds,cream walls with a feature colour on the chimney. I’m only changing blinds and wall colour at the moment(on a budget!)Any colour suggestions would be extremely helpful and my big question is should I paint the timber ceiling or is that risky???? Really grateful for any ideas.
If you’re reading this blog, chances are you enjoy decorating and renovating your home. However there are times when you can’t paint the walls or make any permanent adjustments, if for example you rent your property. But that doesn’t mean you can’t make your home interesting and personal. So read on and I will show you how to bring that zing of colour into your home with soft furnishings, furniture and artwork.
Between the weather and the economy we have more than our fair share of grey in this country! But grey doesn’t have to be the colour of doom and gloom. In fact soft tones of grey teamed with strong vibrant colours is one of my favourite colour combinations at the moment.
