PAINT OF INTEREST


I'm all about colour. Even the "boring" ones like grey, beige, even good ol' greige! If I am going for a classic, no-surprises kinda colour palette, I love the idea of throwing in a few surprises and pops of colour in places that are not traditionally meant to stand out or be accentuated. 


DOORS & TRIMS



Sticking with the same colour as your walls for your doors, frames and skirting boards creates a calm and seamless look but adding a bold colour to these features makes the space more interesting and can highlight beautiful panelling of a door or decorative moulding on a frame.


ARCHWAYS & ENTRANCEWAYS 


Add a pop of colour to archways or interior entranceways can make these subtle features really stand out especially if painted a darker or bolder shade. 

WINDOW FRAMES & LEDGES


Painting the frame, ledge and recess of a window a contrasting colour can really add to a space as well as draw your eye to the view outside. Don't be afraid to go for something unique (bright primary colours if they'll work with the rest of your space) but even black can do the same job just in a more sophisticated way.
