Even if you don’t think of yourself as an artistic person, chances are you’ve encountered a situation where you’ve had to select colours for something. Whether you are looking to paint the walls in your new home office, upcycle furniture or hand make a child’s toy, you’ll need to consider what colours work best. Perfect for upcycling, refresh your furniture with this Rust-Oleum Chalky Furniture Paint and give your old pieces a new lease of life Some makers have wide ranges, others don’t. If you’re going for that clean Scandi look, you’ll find white across all ranges, as well as a range of pale, muted tones. And if you want to mix your own unique colours? Make sure you buy enough paint, and mix more than you think you need – once that shade has gone, you’ll never be able to make the same one again. The most popular paint finishes are gloss, satin or matt. Gloss reflects light the best and will work well in smaller spaces to give them the impression of greater size - however, too much gloss can be a little overbearing, so it may be best to use this type of paint for a feature wall in a modern home and contrast it against less reflective surfaces.

It’s a phrase that’s a few years past the height of fashion, but lots of home decorators are still going for that artfully distressed look. The way to achieve this aesthetic with furniture is to apply two layers of paint of different colours, then to gently set to work with fine-grain sandpaper. With this in mind, you might want to look for paint with a faster drying time. What about colours? Try to make sure that there is a basic colour scheme running through your home that complements its style and furnishings. Aim for no more than three main colours throughout if you want a truly cohesive look. If rooms are semi-open plan, be sure that there are no clashes between the colours in each space as one will often be visible from the other. 5. Are you planning to keep any existing features, fittings or furniture?For a distressed finish; The surface should be thoroughly cleaned, dry and free from contamination such as grease, waxes or polish. Wash with mild detergent solution, rinse thoroughly with clean water and allow to dry. Most of the time you'll simply be changing the colour of the walls and ceilings in any room, however if you're doing away with existing furniture and starting from scratch, then it's worth thinking about the colour of your new sofa, what kind of picture frames will be hung up and the tone and texture of your freshly laid carpet or flooring. Chalk paint is all the rage – and for good reason too. It’s easy to apply, leaves a stunning finish and can be applied to your walls, furniture, tiles and children’s toys. At Frenchic Paint, we have a wide selection of paint colours that we continue to add to on a regular basis. Whether you’re looking for that spicy red to complement a sage green, or a muted purple for a bright yellow feature, we have the paint you need. The dictionary definition is “a pale greenish-blue colour”; which does nothing to help the ongoing discussions surrounding which colour it actually is. On a colour wheel, it appears perfectly on the line between green and blue; so it is probably time to accept that it is officially a combination of the two colours. The colour wheel consists of six basic colours in a pie-chart formation. Red, orange, yellow, blue, green and violet make up the wheel. Red, blue and yellow are primary colours. With a combination of these colours, you get the rest. Orange, green and violet are what’s known as secondary colours. There are also tertiary colours, such as red-violet and blue-violet which are created by mixing a primary colour with a secondary colour. Warm and cool colours

Introduce these romantic and feminine colours into your house. Pale green paint with a hint of grey adds an earthy and tranquil feel, while the bold and bright pink adds vibrancy and energy into the space. Easy to use with no priming or sanding required on most surfaces, revamp desks, wardrobes or an old chest of drawers effortlessly with a smooth, chalky matt finish Pure jewel tones within a living space is truly daring. But done right, it is pure glamour. Mix in cherry red furnishings against emerald green tile or walls. For vintage luxury, this colour combo can’t be missed. Complementary colours create a high contrast, allowing both colours to boldly stand out and work well together. When you want a key feature to stand out, use complementary colours of your choosing. Alternatively, you can play with tints and shades. For example, use a lighter tint of blue (think pastel blue) contrasted with a darker orange (such as burnt amber). Split complementsA muted purple, such as lavender, along with a gentle yellow-orange with grey undertones make for a subtle colour scheme that is perfectly balanced. Paint a table lavender and the chairs amber for a dining room with a bit of interest. For reasons of hygiene and safety, personal grooming products, cosmetics or items of intimate clothing cannot be returned. For a vintage look, distress your furniture with a dual tone effect using two similar colours, add a layer of Rust-Oleum Furniture Finishing Wax or Rust-Oleum Furniture Lacquer for the finishing touch

Neutrals aren’t for everyone, so if you want to add a splash of colour to your upcycling, look no further than Annie Sloan’s Chalk Paint. Invented by the lady herself more than 30 years ago, it can be used on walls as well as furniture. There’s minimal prep, too – depending on the surface you’re painting, you might not need to sand or prime at all. Most property owners wish to make the most of the space they have - so it’s usually best to paint smaller rooms in lighter colours where possible. You can afford to be braver and go darker in large rooms, however. 2. What style of décor are you considering? One of the most noticeable things about Farrow and Ball Green Blue is that the colour changes dramatically depending on the light. In fact, there are many people that will debate it is one colour whilst others insist it is another. Essentially though, it’s the perfect blend of green and blue. When it comes to the style of your home, the typical guidelines state that for traditional cottage or farmhouse type properties, natural and neutral colours often work best. Off-whites and creams look great on rustic walls and against natural wood, and soft greens, rust-colours and subtle browns and caramels work beautifully for highlights and touches of colour.The soft and gentle orangey-pink hue of the peach pairs well with a striking turquoise blue. The mixture of cool and warm tones adds major contrast, while complementing each other nicely. For a distressed finish; Apply 2 coats of the same or contrasting coloured or metallic paint, allow 4 hours between coats. Lightly sand to distress edges and reveal layers. Another key to choosing paint colour is to use split complements. This is where you use one colour, say blue, and instead of using its direct complement colour (orange), you use the next colour along. This would mean you use blue and yellow-orange. This creates a good visual balance, but also adds a bit more interest. Stunning complementary paint colour schemes Satin paint is a great choice for those who wish to achieve a deep, dynamic colour in either a traditional style home or a modern property. It has a slight sheen that creates interest without being distracting or too bold.

With warm colours, we tend to think of warm elements, such as sunlight and heat. These colours remind us of the sun, energy, joy and happiness. On the flipside, blue, green and violet tones calm and soothe. They remind us of nature, the sky, water, and even ice and snow. A lot of manufacturers like to extoll the wonders of their paints needing no prior prep work, claiming the surfaces of the furniture you’re painting won’t need any sanding or priming with an undercoat. This is something you ought to treat with a pinch of salt – at the very least, you need to use a cloth to remove any excess dirt or dust, otherwise the paint won’t properly adhere to the surface. At the other end of the process, you might need to finish your painted surface with wax, lacquer or sealant. Shabby chic? Although it sounds basic in theory, there are many colours in the spectrum that can tip the scales. Green and purple can be considered transition colours. This is because they can both be warm or cool, depending on their balance.If the purple has more red in it than blue, then it can be considered a warm colour. If there’s more blue, it can be a cool colour. Similarly, if there’s more blue in a green colour, it could be considered cold. On the other hand, more yellow can make it a warm green. Simple, right? Complementary colours Pure whites, soft greys, neutral colours and metallics work very well for minimalist homes, as the focal points will be the craftsmanship of the property and the layout of the furnishings rather than any luxurious décor - bright colours are likely to prove distracting if you opt for minimalism. 3. What else will be on the surfaces you’re planning to paint? If you’re looking for a colour with a traditional history then Celestial Blue is a great choice. Little Greene chose the name for the shade from a colour card they found from the early 1800s – so it’s a shade that has been used for a large number of years.
