Sharma KingHi, I’m going to be decorating my
hall, stairs and landing and want
a nice inviting/relaxing green
but I don’t want it too dark.
Have you got any suggestions?
Whether you’re looking to spark inspiration, score a design find or unleash your inner craft queen, look no further than the Dulux™ team’s must-visit online sites… Hi Sharma,
thanks for your question.
Greens are perfect for
hallways because they
encourage an atmosphere
of tranquillity in a busy part
of the home. Subtle muted shades work really
well because they act like neutrals and go with
everything but add a lot more interest.
Try combining greens and neutrals with a little
more depth like Jurassic Stone and Overtly Olive in the hallway and landing areas. By using
different tones of similar colours you create a soft
layered effect with colour that flows beautifully
through one open space into another.
Marianne Shillingford Creative Director, DuluxTM
Hi Elizabeth, A frequent dilemma, thanks for your question.
For north-facing rooms, colours
with a little heat are ideal such
as reds, pinks or violets as they
add the warmth that light doesn’t provide. To balance
the intensity of these shades, select a coordinating
neutral with similar undertones to prevent the room
from feeling too cold.
Try teaming Natural Hessian, a modern shade
that acts as a perfect backdrop to any room with
Redcurrant Glory for your accent wall to add
interest. As light is incredibly important when it
comes to how colour is perceived, it’s advisable
to try out a tester before you paint the whole room
to ensure the colour looks perfect. Let us know
how you get on!

Elizabeth Hunt Hi, what are the best colours

the world a brighter place through the power of paint.

The appeal of teal
Fascinated by the hows and whys of colour?
Make a date in your diary to visit ‘Colour’ at the
National Gallery, the first British exhibition
to delve into the history of colour through the
ages, from the dreamy impressionists to the
romantic renaissance era. 18 June –
7 September, nationalgallery.org.uk.
Spring has sprung and there’s no better way to welcome
warmer weather than with a clutter-free home. Here are
our tips for a stress-free spring clean:
1. Start small. Give yourself a goal and start with a
manageable area – the bathroom, the linen cabinet or
even just your kitchen pantry.
2. Arm yourself. You’ll need three boxes or rubbish bags:
one for charity, one for things that need to be returned
to their proper place and one for rubbish.
3. Be ruthless. Only keep the things that you currently use,
despite who gave them to you or how much they cost.
4. Add colour. Take advantage of your clutter-free space
and give your walls their own spring clean with a fresh
coat of paint.

If your heart sings at the thought of being surrounded
by soothing shades of blue and green, Teal, the Dulux™ 2014 Colour of the Year, may just be the hue your home
has been waiting for. For a pop of excitement, team teal
with orange, coral
pinks or ochre yellow.
Or if subtle colour is
more your thing, pair
teal accessories like
a statement rug or
vibrant cushions with
crisp neutral colours,
like pure white, pale
grey or the natural
hues of timber.
Celebrating colourFrom fashion designers and jewellery makers to
bloggers and creative visionaries, we’re constantly
surrounded by inventive and imaginative use of
colour. To recognise these fabulous people that
make the world a brighter place, we decided to
create the Dulux Let’s Colour™ Awards. The
winners are announced each year in March – head
to dulux.co.uk/colour-awards to be inspired by our
colour heroes of 2013!
A vase filled with heady spring blooms is one of
the loveliest ways to add a burst of brightness
to your home – and buying seasonally is a good
way to make your flowers last the distance.
In February and March, be on the lookout for
Hyacinths, Marigold, Arum lilies and Lisianthus.
These hardy blooms are all excellent at
withstanding the cold weather. In April, May and
June, when it starts to get warmer, take your
basket to the markets and stock up on Tulips, Ranunculus, Lilac and Lily of the Valley.
Mix-and-match different flowers for a rustic
country garden look or pop single stems into
recycled jam jars for a whimsical feel.

8 D u l u x L e t ’ s C o l o u r ™
1. Painting furniture“When I moved into my first student house I painted
my flat-pack bedside table grey with a contrasting
yellow drawer. More recently I updated a console
unit in my hallway after being inspired by a laptop
bag I bought in Paris. Using the Dulux™ colour
matching service in my local store, I replicated the
mint and coral colours of the bag’s front pockets.”
2. Farmers’ markets“I was often dragged around farmers’ markets
when I was little. Back then I didn’t appreciate it
but now I often go to enjoy the sensory experience,
always armed with my camera!”
3. Baking“After a busy week I relax to the hum of the oven
and the knowledge that a sweet treat awaits.
It’s rewarding to create something and it makes
my apartment smell divine.”
4. Handmade ceramics“I have a vast array of mismatching handmade
china. My current favourites are pastel bowls
by Swedish ceramicist Mia Blanche; they remind
me of weekends spent in Stockholm.”
5. Photographing colourful buildings“Whenever I travel I’m inspired by colourful shop
fronts, residential homes or even a street sign.
These saturated facades I photographed in the
Balearic Islands last summer are a great
example.”
How did Bright Bazaar begin?“I studied journalism at university and then got
a job at the BBC, where I worked on Blue Peter.
It was good fun – and a childhood dream – but I felt
creatively frustrated. In 2009 I launched Bright
Bazaar from my bedroom on a whim. Fast-forward
to now and it’s my full-time job!”
How would you describe it?“It’s a blog written by a guy who loves colour. It gives
people a friendly voice to help them build their colour
confidence and demonstrates how to use decor to
reveal your personality. I often say that I’m just a
gentleman hooked on hue.”
Tell us about the colours you’vepicked for your home. “I’m very experimental. In my living room I’ve layered
zesty, primary accents over a black base. When you
use bright, multi-coloured objects – sofas, rugs and
so on – you risk it looking like a playroom but black
gives sophistication. In the bedroom I’ve gone for a
nautical theme: blue and yellow with rustic textures.
My office combines yellow and pink: it’s soothing but
the yellow gives an energising kick without being
visually tiring.”
The 26-year-old behind the colour blog Bright Bazaar chats to Dulux™
about the swinging 60s, painting furniture and why he’s hooked on hue.
Five of Will’sfavourite things
Dulux™ introduces
Will TaylorDo you follow any rules?“I start by thinking about the kind of basic scheme
I’ll use: harmonious, tonal, or contrasting. If you go
for a tonal scheme you’re picking tones of one colour.
With a harmonious scheme you choose shades next to
each other on the colour wheel. A contrasting scheme
uses opposites on the colour wheel, say blue and orange.
It’s dramatic and takes courage; there’s tension between
two colours which produces that “kapow!” effect.”
Are you inspired by any particular era?“Definitely the 60s and 70s: interiors were so bold
then. They used a lot of orange, which I adore as it’s
eye-catching and both masculine and feminine. I often
look to that era and the way they put different shades
together when I’m decorating.”
Have you ever made a horrible colour mistake?“Not yet, but I’m sure I will do one day!”
What tips would you give to someone who doesn’t know how to start?“Begin by looking at the subconscious colour decisions
you’re already making. Simple things: the clothes you
gravitate to, the colour of your car, the flowers from
your wedding day. Next pull out images that resonate
with you and then move on to paint charts: just pick
out chips that match those pictures. You should begin
to see a theme emerging. From there it’s just about
matching those chips to different rooms and thinking
about how to use any stronger colours. Maybe instead
of using it on a whole wall you’ll just paint a sideboard
or an alcove with it. It can be as simple as switching
out the cushion on a sofa.”
As told to Kassia St Clair.

down to earthDreaming of a living space
that soothes the senses?
It’s time for a shot of nature’s
own pick-me-up: refreshing
and reviving green.
Have you ever felt instantly revitalised after
running barefoot on wet grass, or felt serene in
the presence of towering trees? Research has
shown that connecting to the living world around
us, whether it’s a forest hike or a brief stroll,
creates an instant sense of well-being. If you
want to bring the outdoors into your living room,
try combining shades of green with earthy
hues like mustard yellows, rich neutrals and
robust greys. Bold, vibrant shades of green
like emerald, apple and teal will energise and
awaken the senses, while muted greens like
olive, sage and celery will soothe and calm.

Inspir ation: l i v ing room
Want to create a family-friendly living space
that both energises and soothes? Opt for a
warm neutral colour scheme, a little bit of
pattern and plenty of touchable textures.
Dress up your neutral colour scheme with rich patterns and textured
accessories. Cushions, throws, vases and lampshades are an easy way
to add colour and texture without spending a fortune. Finish the look
with a statement rug or artwork – you could even get the kids involved
in the decision making process. You never know, it might make them
think twice before stomping muddy boots on the new rug!
Forget the white couch and fussy decorating scheme. A living room
that caters to both adults and kids is all about choosing punchy yet
practical colours that can adapt over time. Keep it simple and stick with
a palette that consists of one or two warm, neutral hues paired with a
brighter accent colour. Using a slightly darker tone on the bottom of
the walls, such as Urban Obsession, will not only help camouflage the
inevitable spills, fingerprints and other mishaps that take place over
the years, it will help to create a cosy and intimate atmosphere without
overwhelming the space. Then, use your bright accent colour (we love
Moroccan Flame from the Dulux™ Feature Wall collection) to highlight
key features of the room such as the fireplace, or create your own focal
point with a feature panel or stylish border stripe.
Back to basics
Make a statement
“Painting the lower part of a room in a deeper colour
not only creates a lively focal point, it’s also brilliant
at hiding scuffs and marks in the area that gets the
most wear and tear.”

If bold colour isn’t your thing,
give your kitchen a burst of
brightness with subtle pops
of pastel-pretty shades.
Don’t feel you need to go all out when
refreshing your space – something as
simple as painting your existing cupboards
or furniture will add instant pizazz for
minimum cost. For a clean, classic look,
use a similar shade on both your cupboards
and furniture, or burst out the brights
and deck out every chair in a different hue.
If the very thought of concentrated colour
sends you into a tailspin, forget the bright hues
and concentrate on adding spark with a more
considered colour palette. Whether you feel
more comfortable surrounded by muted
shades like powder blue, rose and sage
or feel vivified in the presence of sweet
pastels like lemon, lilac and mint, the
secret to colour confidence is choosing
a palette of two or three colours and
sticking to it.
Clever cabinetry
Make sure you balance your chosen wall
and furniture colours with similarly hued
accessories. The key is to choose a few items
within your chosen palette of colours, such as
a retro blender, bright tableware or patterned
cushions (to match your freshly painted chairs,
of course). This will help to create a cohesive
colour scheme and anchor the whole look
together.
Pastel dreams
Accessorise!

from day... Inspir ation: dining room How to create the per fec t dual purpose dining room
Does your dining room pull double duty? Go from casual
to formal with a cohesive colour scheme that balances
practicality with sophistication.
Flexibility is key when designing a dining room
that works for all occasions. Deck out your
‘day’ dining room with accessories that can be
easily moved and stored at a moment’s notice,
like a brightly patterned oilcloth, free-standing
blackboard and stackable storage containers
to house all those bits and pieces that inevitably
end up in the everyday living spaces. When
evening sets in, simply pack away the family
Change it upfun and replace with more grown-up
accessories. For an instant colour hit, decorate
the table with hand-painted glassware or get
creative and paint the inside of a wooden tray
in a warm, vivid shade, like Sumptuous Plum
from the Dulux™ Made by Me range. To finish,
pop a few single flower buds in glass jars and
light some candles to add a sophisticated
ambiance. Easy!
If your dining room hosts just as many family meals as it does dinner parties,
you’ll want to make sure the colour scheme you choose works just as well for
casual settings as it does for formal. A neutral palette accented with one bright
colour, such as Purple Pout from the Dulux™ Feature Wall range, is an easy
way to create a feeling of comfort and elegance in equal measure.

White often gets a bad rap for attracting
spills and stains but when it comes to
brightening small spaces like hallways, its
power is unparalleled. The key is to use a
light-reflecting paint, like Dulux™ Ultra White
Matt. Not only is it washable and super-tough
(twenty times more than standard paints,
in fact), the light-reflecting particles will help
trick the eye into thinking the area is brighter
and airier than it actually is, as well as help
to reflect the natural light that filters in
throughout the day and enhance the artificial
light during evening hours, too.

Inspir at ion: home workspace
Colour can have a powerful effect on your mood,
emotions and focus, which is why choosing the
right colour in your workspace is so important.
It’s been said that shades of orange, like coral,
tangerine and pumpkin, can help to encourage
creativity, while green hues, like teal, emerald
and mint, are believed to help alleviate stress,
and promote concentration.
If a bright feature wall appeals to your senses,
a block of colour in a single shade will help to boost
creativity while still helping you to create a sense
of clarity. Tone down the shade with classic timber
or white furniture and ensure you have plenty of
space for storage.
Even small pops of colour could make a difference
to your productivity. If bright blocks of colour aren’t
your thing, try some darker, more sophisticated
hues like Sapphire Salute or Teal Tension.
Use these in small doses in unexpected places,
like inside bookshelves, for a striking effect.
How to create the per fec t home workspace
Want to improve productivity? Surround yourself with
stimulating shades that enhance concentration.
Does your desk face a wall? Painting that wall
a single shade that stimulates your senses will
help to define the study space from the rest of the
room. You never know; your brain may even start
to associate work with that particular colour!

“Studies inevitably end up filled with miscellaneous
items, so ensure you have plenty of storage options.
Open shelves are a great way to display your favourite
things – and an easy way to give your study space
an instant boost of personality without losing the
feeling of space.”

His & hers Inspir ation: bedroom A bedroom you can both enjoy
If differing colour views are stopping your
bedroom from becoming a place of peace
and serenity, it’s time to get back to basics.
A neutral colour scheme is a wonderful starting point for any bedroom,
especially one that needs to cater to both feminine and masculine styles.
Choose a cool neutral like Polished Pebble for a crisp, fresh feel or warm
neutrals like Soft Stone or Soft Truffle for a cosy atmosphere. Elevate the
luxe factor with a feature wall painted in a colour you both love or experiment
with graphic patterns, such
as this geometric paint effect
above the bed.
Eliminate space squabbles
with carefully defined storage
areas. You and your partner
will inevitably have different
space needs and determining
these early on in the decorating
process will make for smoother
sailing in the future. Zone
out your separate spaces
using decorative touches,
like personalised bedside
lamps or mirrors, or splash out
with individual bedside tables
that showcase your different
personalities.

Turn your bathroom into
a spa oasis with rich
tones that offer balance
and tranquillity.
shades ofInspir ation: bathroom
greyBlues may be the customary bathroom hue
but when creating a space that encourages
serious pampering, we love taking our
colour inspiration from this decade’s
hottest shade, grey. Warm shades like
slate grey, dark taupe and smoky grey are
great shades for walls as they create real
atmosphere in a room while still evoking
a soothing and serene feel.
If your room is on the small side, don’t
think that a spa retreat is out of your reach.
Softening the rich colours with white walls
or tiles will ensure that the space looks
and feels airy and light. Heighten the effect
with textured surfaces, like a sisal floor
rug that gently massages the feet, antique
mirrors to reflect light around the room
and plenty of pampering products.

and won’t outgrow your child, choose
soothing colours, like pastels or earthy
hues, and layer them softly. We love the idea
of creating a striking stripy feature wall or,
if you’d prefer to play it safe, use accessories
to bring colour into the room.
Decorating a gender-neutral nursery? The key is to use soft
muted colours and work from there, incorporating pattern
and texture through accessories, bed linen and artwork.
Excite your baby’s first sense, touch, with natural
textures, such as a soft sheepskin rug, woven
storage baskets and a snug nursing chair.
Patterned surfaces are perfect for nurseries
as they help to hide inevitable stains and scuff
marks, not to mention little handprints!

oneHow to create a fun design for children to enjoy
1. Lightly draw the outline of the tree onto the
wall using pencil or chalk. If you’re not confident
drawing freehand, trace around a large salad
bowl to create the circle shapes that make up the
curved edges of the tree. Use a small brush to paint
around the inside of the outline.
Inspir at ion: children’s bedroom
tree!Children’s rooms are the perfect place to let you –
and your little ones’ – imaginations run wild. Why not
get the creative juices flowing and create your very
own mighty bookcase tree?
2. Use a roller to paint the
interior of the outline. Don’t worry
if you go slightly outside the lines –
it doesn’t need to look perfect.
3. When the tree is dry, use a lid,
plate or bowl to mark out the
circular outlines inside the tree.
A small brush and a steady hand
is all that’s needed to complete
the job. For an additional splash
of colour, you could even add
some shiny red apples or
flowers to your towering tree!

Marilyn Monroe once said, “It’s better to
be absolutely ridiculous than absolutely
boring” and we couldn’t agree more –
especially when it comes to paint. This
trend celebrates the riotous beauty of
graffiti art, encouraging people young and
old to glean inspiration from urban street
artists like Banksy and Tilt.
Forget building things that will stand the test of time.
This trend is all about embracing throwaway materials
such as chipboard, wooden crates and breeze blocks
to create transient, semi-permanent design pieces,
and using clashing colours and provocative patterns
to create a contrast between chaos and calm.

alertFeel like letting your hair down and
throwing caution to the wind? You’re in
good company: this season’s latest trend
is all about cutting loose, celebrating
imperfections and shouting your
personal style from the rooftops.
All over the world, designers are
shunning perfection and instead
choosing to embrace beautifully
flawed, disposable design.
The colours that express this trend are
high-octane and energetic. They scream:
‘Get up and go for it!’ with a cheeky wink on
the side. Be brave and clash your colours
by pairing zesty hues like fizzy lemon
with zesty lime or perhaps the dramatic
combination of moody teal and fiery orange
is more your thing? Blues in this palette
come in all shades and sizes too, from navy
to ultramarine, sky and pale cyan – there is
truly something for everyone.

Inspir at ion: colour trend 2014 Making the trend work in your home
Love the energy and unpredictability of this
season’s hottest colour trend but not sure
how quite to create the look in your own
home? We’ve got good news – this is one of
the easiest looks to emulate, purely because
of the unrestrained nature of the colour
palette. For a dynamic and playful look, try a
contrasting colour scheme that uses colours
that sit directly opposite one another on the
colour wheel, such as zesty lemon with violet,
or teal with fiery orange.
If clashing contrasts aren’t your thing,
there’s still plenty of choice in the palette to
create a more harmonious look by combining
colours that are closer to each other on
the colour wheel. Look to the blue tones
within this trend’s colour palette, such as
navy, ultramarine, sky blue and cyan, and
add a small dollop of bright colour through
accessories and artwork.
This trend is all about unrestrained design, so feel free to get
creative with the paint brush and colour outside the lines.
The feathered edge effect on this feature wall painted in a
revitalising shade of Holiday Blues 3 provides a dramatic focal
point while adding a serious punch of glorious colour.

How to make the “Do It Now”
look work on your own terms
“This trend is fuelled by individuality. Put your own stamp on high
street finds by giving a stool a new lick of paint or turning an old
wooden pallet into a stylish coffee table. An easy way to add the
trend at home is to experiment with colours on a canvas. All you
need is DuluxTM paint, and a little imagination”

Recreate the chic atmosphere of a boutique-style hotel
with rich, sumptuous colours and textured accessories.
bliss
Bedrooms in boutique-style hotels can be calm and collected or bold and dramatic but at the heart of every
room is balance and careful coordination. To create a sophisticated, elegant space, choose a palette of two
or three colours for the basis of your scheme. Cool neutrals with rich, luxurious tones like Warm Pewter
and Urban Obsession offer a striking background whereas a softer lilac grey like Potters Clay 2 or a softer
grey such as Polished Pebble will enhance the sense of space while evoking a five-star feel.
Up the luxe factor for less with a stylish headboard design painted directly onto the wall in your favourite
colour, like ours here painted in Twilight Cinders 1 from Dulux™ colour mixing to add a bit of boutique
charm to your space.

Inspir ation: bathroom Be bold in a small bathroom
Your bathroom doesn’t need to feel as small as it looks.
Create a spacious haven with aquatic shades and cool neutrals.
Bathing
Contrary to popular belief, small spaces love
bright colours. The secret is to choose crisp
shades that reflect light rather than absorb
it, like aquamarine, teal and sea green.
These shades will not only help to reflect
the bathroom’s natural light, they’ll also
help to bounce artificial light around the
room and soften shadows. Make a splash
with a dramatic feature wall (we love the
serene feel of Forest Falls) or paint your
cabinets or shelving in bright hues to draw
the eye away from cramped areas and
create striking focal points.
Offset the bright colours with a palette of
cool neutrals, like pure white, slate and dove
grey, to further intensify the clean lines of
your bathroom. Make your small space work
harder by reducing as much clutter from the
floor and surfaces as you can. If you don’t
have built-in cabinets, stackable storage
containers with lids, wicker baskets and
ladders with plenty of hanging space are all
inexpensive ways to keep clutter at bay.

“Try extending the colour up from the walls onto the
ceiling to create a fluid look in the bathroom and your
eye will be fooled into thinking that the room is bigger
than it actually is. Choose a shade of the wall colour
but a couple of tones lighter for the ceiling to create a
clever seamless appearance.”

Inspir ation: ex ter ior
You don’t need to paint the entire exterior of your
home to make a statement. In fact, few features
have the potential to make an instant impact like
your front door. The best colour for your door
depends a lot on the style of your house, so before
you start dreaming of a glossy new entranceway,
take note of the style of the door, along with the
woodwork that frames it.
If you have a Victorian-era home with an old,
solid door, classic colours painted in a high gloss
finish like navy blue, rich red or claret will help
you create a polished period style. Traditional
homes generally suit nature-inspired hues
like warm muted olive greens or blue greys
while modern façades, like the home pictured,
look fabulous dressed in more contemporary
shades such as deep greys, warm teals or rich
aubergine tones. Complete the look with freshly
painted masonry in a crisp, classic colour, like
Jasmine White or Sandstone from the Dulux
Weathershield™ Exterior Masonry range.
Tired façade? Give your front
door an instant makeover
with smart, inviting colours.

Purchased by a couple for their two adult daughters
as a starter home, this two-storey flat was dingy and
in desperate need of a makeover. The priority was
to brighten up the darker areas of the flat and to inject
some life and personality into the living areas, fit for
hosting friends and family in the future.
This family wanted an exotic theme that reflected
their family heritage – but without making that
the main focus and without being too kitsch. They
were also divided about colour; one daughter worked
in fashion and was pretty colour-savvy, the other
wanted something more muted so it was up to interior
designer Simon Gibbs from the Dulux Design
Service™ to try and find a happy medium for both girls.

First, the corridor leading into the dining room was
brightened using Dulux Light + Space™, a light-
reflecting paint that helps trick the eye into thinking
the area is brighter and airier than it actually is.
The carpet floor in the dining room was stripped
and replaced with wooden floorboards with an
acoustic underlay to help contain the noise.
To evoke an exotic feel without overpowering the
room, ethnic style fabrics were paired with a simple
colour scheme. Soft Stone was used as the base
colour, with the feature wall created with a splash
of Mulberry Burst from the Dulux™ Feature Wall
range. The striking plum and chartreuse soft
furnishings and textured textiles bring warmth
into the previously dull space, while statement
accessories, like the art deco chandelier, create a
dramatic focal point. Soft furnishings are a great
way to experiment with colour and pattern as
they’re easy to replace and play around with,
giving the family ultimate control over the space.

Whether you’re a novice with a paint brush or a regular Picasso,
these easy projects are a great way to inject colour into your home
– no DIY skills needed!
Give a modern twist to whimsical candlesticks with
a fresh coat of paint in coordinating colours. To get
started, you’ll need a small painter’s brush, a dust
sheet or newspaper to protect your surface and paint
in the colours of your choice (the Dulux™ Made by Me
range is perfect for small crafty jobs like this). Before
you begin, make sure your candlesticks are free from
loose paint, wax, rust and grease – a simple wash
with soapy water should do the trick. Paint in small,
overlapping strokes, applying two light coats for the
best finish. Leave the candlesticks to dry overnight
and marvel in the glow of your handiwork!

Let colour cascade down your staircase with a
striking banister painted in ocean-inspired hues.
You’ll need some Dulux™ Gloss or Satinwood and
a 25mm brush with fine bristles. First, cover the
surfaces surrounding the bannister in newspaper
or dust sheets and secure with masking tape if
needed. Lightly sand the banister and wipe down
with a slightly damp cloth, and then a dry one.
Start at the top end of the stairs, making sure to
work your brush into any designs in the wood.
Wait 6-8 hours before applying a second coat.
Be adventurous – each spindle can be painted
a different colour or create a smooth colour
transition from light to dark, running up or down
your stairway.
Make a sophisticated statement with sleek stripes of colour in harmonious hues. The key is to choose colours
that sit directly next to each other on the colour wheel, like pale coral, magenta and juicy berry tones.
Begin by painting your base coat – this ideally should be the lightest colour. Once you’ve painted two coats and
the paint is completely dry, measure where you’d like your first set of stripes to be and use masking tape to
create your first layer – start with the lightest colour first and finish with the darkest. Just remember to leave
plenty of drying time between each stripe of colour so you end up with nice crisp edges.
For a soft, delicate look, apply the colour in identically sized stripes.
If you want to make more of a statement, try painting stripes in different
widths or layer small stripes of colour on top of larger stripes. You can
even use stripes to trick the eye – vertical stripes will make your ceiling
appear higher while horizontal stripes will make a room look wider. Handrail and Newel posts: Chic Shadow™ Quick Dry Gloss. Spindles: Jasmine White™, Luscious Lime™, Proud Peacock™ and Chic Shadow™ Gloss Background wall: Jasmine White™ Endurance+™
