We know many of us are worried about the Coronavirus and prioritizing health and safety of family and friends is essential.
We would like to assure you that we have the same concerns, we also have family which are precious to us. That’s why we have decided to continue our suspension of services for a further two to three weeks, we will continue to monitor government advice and make any necessary changes as soon as we are able to do so and when our suppliers begin to reopen.

We take extra care when visiting our customers. We are still available for quotations (Currently external only ), but exercising social distancing practices. Works will not commence until all restrictions have been lifted.

All current bookings will commence in order of original booking dates, we will email you directly with new dates when we are able to do so.

All guarantees which are due to expire from March 2020 to June 2020 will be extended by three months.

Being a small business at this time is difficult but with the help of our customers we shall be returning to work soon as possible and hopefully bring a wee smile to many of you with our transformation.

Keep safe

COLOURED WALLS AND WHITE WOODWORK

A traditional style is to apply one colour to the walls and a white gloss or eggshell (low sheen) on the woodwork.

Visually this is a very clean look, but it can sometimes appear harsh depending on the contrast between colours. To soften the contrast choose an empathetic companion colour for the ceiling. This will make the contrast more gradual, and as a result the room will look surprisingly spacious.

LIGHT WALLS AND DARKER WOODWORK

A marvellous way to create light and space is to use the lightest colour on the largest surface area, such as the walls, and a darker tone on woodwork.

This works well if you are using a neutral scheme, and gives a more ‘decorated’ feel.

The use of a dark colour on skirting boards, not only makes the walls appear lighter in contrast, but it also creates a strong contemporary aesthetic, making everything above feel elongated and lighter in contrast.

A few tips, how to make the right choice with colours:
1. Before you start painting the walls, apply two coats to a small piece of lining paper. Hang the paper on different walls throughout the day to see how the colour changes in sunlight and under artificial light. You’ll find that the effects of light particularly influence whites.
2. Which direction does your room face? It’s important to keep in mind that most colours will look slightly darker and colder in north-facing rooms because the light is cooler and flatter.
3.Wet paint looks vastly different to dry paint. Try not to make any decisions until the paint is completely dry.
4.Most importantly, trust your instincts. If you love it, it’s right.
