Don't make this mistake when choosing paint colours..
Don't just go for a colour you love. Hear me out 👇
Orientation of the room, how much natural light the room gets (at different times of the day!), when are you most likely going to use the space and most importantly, how do you want the space to make you feel, are all crucial questions you need to ask yourself when choosing paint colour.
I wanted our lounge to go from stark, disconnected and airy, to cosy, cacooning and inviting. Its a south west facing room, gets lovely afternoon light, but can feel "flat" with cool light in the morning. We use this room mostly in the evening to snuggle on the sofa and watch tele.
Answering these questions and knowing I wanted to lean into a green, lead me to this sensational deep sage from With its perfect balance of warm/cool undertones, its hits the spot from morning till night. I can't wait to get it finished.
