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!

Rebecca ThompsonSenior Colour and Design Manager, DuluxTM

Elizabeth Hunt Hi, what are the best colours

the world a brighter place through the power of paint.

In 2013, more than 120 projects across the UK were

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.

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.

Inspir ation: l i v ing room

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.

Left wall: Crushed Aloe™ Matt Main wall: Fresh Stem™ Matt Skirting: Almond White™ Quick Dry Satinwood



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.”

Wall: Stonewashed Blue™ Kitchen+Cupboards: Mineral Mist™ Quick Dry Satinwood

Inspir ation: k i tchen

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!


“Dulux™ Quick Drying Satinwood is a great choice

for painting surfaces as it dries quickly, doesn’t smell

during the painting process, and is super tough.

The finish will be a subtle sheen that’s easy to clean –

perfect for a busy kitchen.”



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.”

Rebecca Thompson

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.

Inspir ation: bedroom

When you’re expecting a baby, one of the

most exciting (and daunting) projects you’ll

encounter is decorating the nursery –

especially if you’re not sure whether

your new arrival will be a boy or girl.

To create a space that suits both genders

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!

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!


“Paint the walls happy in a child’s bedroom and get creative with

clever finishing touches which help to bring the room to life. This

enclosed ladder looks like the tree trunk of the wall mural and its

perfect for displaying works of art by the little people you love.”

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.

Trend


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”

Louise Smith Senior Global Colour Designer, DuluxTM


Inspir ation: bedroom

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

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+™
