interior decoration through paint beautiful homes Let’s colour Decorating a house, inside or out, makes life better. It’s an act of renewal, driven by fresh ideas and aspiration. Decorating with colour in particular can do miracles for a house. Colour has the power to turn a former playroom into a cool space where your teenagers love to hang out. Or a blank canvas, like the one on the left, into an inviting dining room. It offers bathrooms, kitchens and bedrooms a complete new lease of life, merely by refreshing the mood. And the house that previously went unsold? A few brushstrokes will give it plenty of curb appeal. If you’re looking to be inspired, just turn over a new leaf and enjoy. welcome Appreciating colour is one of life’s greatest joys 01 00 White page 06 - 23 Yellow page 24 - 37 Orange page 38 - 51 Red page 52 - 67 Purple page 68 - 83 Blue page 84 - 99 Green page 100 - 117 Warm neutral page 118 - 133 Cool neutral page 134 - 151 02 03 Choosing colour with confidence How to pick the right colour There are many ways to distinguish different types of colours, and yet it isn’t always easy to define them. To convey the right image, it’s essential to describe colour in a universal way. After all, it would be hard enough to put the perfect yellow or blue into words for your own benefit, let alone if you need to describe it to a painter or decorator who is going out to buy it for you. To lend a hand, The Language of Colour specifies four colour moods according to grayscale and intensity: Rich, Fresh, Warm and Calm. • Rich colours are striking and strong and can be used to add drama. • Fresh colours are clean and pure and bring a sense of light and energy. • Warm colours are mellow and make a room feel welcoming. • Calm colours are subtle and muted, often with a misty note. Which kind of colour works best in the room you’ve intended it for, depends on a few more details, like the size of the space, the amount and quality of sunlight and the general purpose of the room. Not sure if a colour will work? Paint an A4 sized square of colour on the wall and let it dry well before you decide, or use a colour-a-room program on the internet for a virtual impression, like Dulux MousePainter. How to combine the colours of your choice While planning a redecorating project, you’ll probably look for inspiration by leafing through magazines, books and websites on interior design. It’s a great and fun way to find out what you like, but there’s more to it. Analysing the pictures will help you establish a functional palette. This is because every well-decorated room has a limited colour scheme at its base, usually consisting of two or three main colours. Dimensions and proportions are next. If you take note of the amounts of colour used, you’ll notice the hues on the wall, floor and curtains usually take up a larger surface area than the ones used for pillows, lampshades and picture frames. This means a taupe, sand and white colour scheme will probably not be equally proportioned. Deciding early on which colours you’d like to appoint to larger surfaces and which are the accent colours, will give you a clear mental picture of where the project is heading. If you need some extra theory to back up your choices, the Language of Colour comes in handy once again. It describes three approaches to combining colour – Toning, Contrasting and Harmozing. • Toning is choosing different hues of the same colour to create an overall mood, like combining poppy red with powder pink and burgundy, which are essentially all some form of ‘red’. • Contrasting is choosing colours from the opposite ends of the colour wheel, such as the one shown here. Blue and orange, for example. In a grown-up setting, that would translate into something like sea blue combined with a rusty tone. • Harmonizing means combining colours adjacent on the colour wheel. A strutting peacock with its blue, green and purple gleaming feathers has mastered this technique, but in a project slightly less extravagant like decorating a living room, this could mean matching beige, taupe and dark wood. How to pick the best quality When it comes to decorating with paint, stand-out quality is its own reward. After all, paint is not a seasonal item, not even for those who like to redecorate often. You’d rightly expect it to last several years and still look as good as it did on the first day. That is why we proudly recommend our paints.
