Changing the colour of your interior can immediately transform your space. Selecting the right palette of colours is one of the most important decisions you’ll make.Colour needs to be layered to create a scheme that is balanced and cohesive. Ideally there should be a few core colours that continue throughout the entire house to ensure a sense of continuity. These are the foundation colours and are often neutral, although that does not always mean they have to be a lighter shade; foundation colours can be chosen from a darker palette. They should however, all have the same depth of colour and tone sympathetically.

When assessing each room, take note of the natural light levels throughout the day. The colour of the walls will change as the sun moves, affecting the overall mood. The purpose and size of the room and the use of artificial light must also be considered as all of these factors will have an impact on the atmosphere you are trying to create. A room that is used for essential tasks during the day will need to feel quite different from a space that transforms into a haven of comfort and relaxation in the evening. Finally, each room needs to have its own personality. Accent colours are a great way of introducing seasonal interest and atmospheric overtones.
