It's amazing what a little paint can do...

Here are some before and after pics from a happy client.  During the colour consultation, she said she wanted a dramatic difference, and warm rich colours.  Looks like she got what she was looking for.

Trend Alert:  Colour of the year for 2015

The colour, or colours, of 2015 have been released by the top paint companies.  This year the colours are very different, and this isn't a coincidence.  Taste is a very personal thing.  One is a deep warm rich tone, one a vibrant bright energizing hue and the last is a muted soft neutral.  One for every taste and place.  

If you are nervous to use a bold or bright colour in fear that it will be too strong or you will tire of it quickly, try a different approach rather than painting the entire room.  Let the colour stand by itself on a single accent wall or on your front door for a pop of colour.  Paint a piece of furniture as a great accent piece. Relax the bold colour by pairing it with warm neutrals. 

Paint is easy, quick and a fairly inexpensive way to change your space.  Have fun with it.  Experiment.
