5 ways with paint
LIVING ROOM In an open-plan space, use two tonal shades on adjoining walls. This lets the eye travel towards the furthest wall, making the room feel bigger.
BEDROOM Soft, languid tones like Statue bounce light gently off the walls and flatter the complexion - great for creating a romantic mood.
BATHROOM Don't be afraid to step away from traditional bathroom colours, Strong colours like Wire make white sanitaryware stand out and look pristine. (Make sure you use eggshell paint in bathrooms.)
KITCHEN-DINER Use a warm white like Absolutely in a sunny kitchen, as blue-toned shades of white can create a cold, dazzling effect.
HALLWAY Deep, bold colours like Siren and Chai work well in hallways and passages. Just offset with woodwork or panelling in a white like plimsoll.
Be inspired by our style ideas for using Livingetc paint in your home.
