HOW CAN I USE COLOURS?

  
1. Light colours make spaces and objects look larger.
2. Dark colours on the ceiling seem to lower the height of the room. Light colours do the opposite.
3. Long rooms look shorter if the end wall is of a different colour.
4. Keep it simple. Avoid too many colours in one room.
5. Wall colours should be understated and remain in the background.
6. Colours must be checked out first in both artificial and natural light. There will be a difference.
