Tips & Colors

Choosing paint isn’t just about picking a colour off a swatch — it’s about creating a space that feels right. Here are a few quick tips to help guide your decision.

Warm vs Cool Tones

Warm tones (like reds, oranges, and yellows) bring energy and comfort. Cool tones (like blues, greens, and greys) feel calming and spacious. Think about the mood you want to create in the room before choosing a palette.

Feature Walls

A single bold colour on one wall can define a space and add personality without overwhelming the room. Keep the rest of the walls neutral to balance the effect.

Trims & Doors

Gloss white trims and doors are a classic combo for a reason — they help frame your wall colours and make the space look fresh and finished.

Light Matters

Natural light will change how colours look in a space. Test a few swatches on your wall and check them throughout the day before deciding.

Finishes

Matte finishes hide imperfections and give a soft, modern look. Gloss is easier to clean and reflects more light, great for trims or bathrooms.
