Hello and once again welcome to my page,   many thanks for the terrific feedback after my initial article.  

I have always enjoyed the wonderful world of colours and know that just as the brightness and warmth of spring sunshine brings joy after a bleak winter, so it is that different colours can bring many and varied qualities, to your life when they surround you in your home.

How many times have you been in a room, and just dont feel comfortable or relaxed, or at other times and places notice that you feel very much 'at home' Chances are that these feelings have much to do with the atmosphere that has been created by the decor and the colours that have been used.  By thinking about what look and feel you wish for your home is always a great place to start, simply think about what makes you feel 'in sync' with your surroundings.  We are all different so it stands to reason that these feelings vary from person to person.

Is your home to be casual, bright and fun? Calm, warm and relaxing? Or do you prefer a more cool and formal style?

For colours that add vibrancy, lift the spirits and add zing try: Bud Zinnia, Energise, Parrot or Lemon Twist.

Then there are the cool, neutral tones that tone to soothe and relax such as: Dapple Moss, Green Tea, Silver Haze, Icelandic Blue or Pearl Silver.

For deep,warm tones try: Cinnamon Crumble, Stipple Cocoa, Antelope or Mocha.

If you like tones that give drama and add pizzazz, how about: Carraway, Fossil, Graphite or Espresso, these are all especially vibrant when used as a contrast with crisp whites.

All reputable paint companies, have sample pots available so you can try before you purchase large quantities, and this is always a really good idea especially if you are trying a 'new look'.............have fun!!...til next time....
