T ips for Choosing Colour

Tip:
Be sure to bring your swatches when choosing your paint colours.

Tip:
Rooms that are oriented with a southern or western exposure, cool it down with colour. Rooms with a northern or eastern exposure are better in a warmer hue.

Tip:
Traditional, Modern or eclectic? To determine your style, collect pictures from magazines that appeal to you. Pictures represent different periods, styles and colour schemes, which can influence your colour selection.

Tip:
To make a room appear larger, choose a light monochromatic colour and a white ceiling. For a cozier feeling, go for bold tones with a darker ceiling.

Tip:
Use design elements to create a unified look by repeating shapes, patterns, textures and colour.

Tip:
Choose a focal point like a fireplace, window, or a large piece of furniture to emphasize with colour and create a finished look.
