The art of choosing the perfect paint palette

When you are looking to refresh your home, picking colours and wallpaper style can feel daunting. However, when you make your choices based on the purpose of the space, the lighting, feel and your taste, you are more likely to curate a masterpiece. 


Understanding your painting vision


Selecting colours isn't just about paint; it's about understanding your vision for the space. Once you outline the purpose of each room, your lifestyle and preferences, whether it’s a sanctuary for relaxation, an energising workspace or a luxurious space to host parties, you are one step closer to building a palette which will reflect well in your space.

Tranquil bedrooms

  • Serene blues: Bedrooms, spaces dedicated to rest and rejuvenation, thrive on serene blues. This calming colour family promotes a tranquil atmosphere, encouraging peaceful sleep and relaxation.

  • Soothing greens: For those seeking a connection with nature, soothing greens bring an organic touch to bedrooms. Green promotes harmony, making it an ideal choice for creating a peaceful retreat.


Warm and comfortable living rooms

  • Earthy neutrals: Living rooms, central hubs of activity, benefit from earthy neutrals. Warm browns and beige tones create a comfortable and inviting space, fostering a sense of connection and warmth.

  • Bold accent hues: Injecting bold accent hues into the living room adds personality. Whether it's a vibrant red statement wall or energetic yellow accents, these pops of colour elevate the room's vibrancy.


Energising kitchens

  • Invigorating yellows: Kitchens, bustling with activity, come alive with invigorating yellows. Yellow is known to stimulate energy and creativity, making it an ideal choice for spaces where culinary magic happens.

  • Fresh greens: Incorporating fresh greens into kitchens brings a touch of nature. Green is associated with freshness and vitality, creating a lively atmosphere in the heart of the home.

Calming bathrooms

  • Cool blues: Bathrooms, spaces for self-care and relaxation, find serenity in cool blues. Blue tones evoke a sense of cleanliness and tranquillity, creating a spa-like atmosphere.

  • Calming greens: Incorporating calming greens into bathrooms enhances the connection with nature. Green promotes a sense of rejuvenation, making it a perfect choice for creating a peaceful escape.


Creative children's rooms

  • Playful pinks: Children's rooms, places for imagination and play, can be brought to life with playful pinks. Pink is associated with creativity and warmth, stimulating the young mind.

Creating a diverse, harmonious space


While each room has its unique purpose, when you select a palette that flows seamlessly from room to room, you can create harmony across your home. Using neutral colours as a canvas for other design elements and personal touches, then injecting pops of colour into your home allows for self-expression and personality. Strategically incorporating vibrant accents, from furniture to decor adds visual interest and creates focal points within a space.
