Paint colour is one of the quickest and easiest ways to transform a space, and the most common question we get asked in our job is “what paint colour should we choose?”. But did you know that choosing the wrong paint colour is the most common mistake made by home renovators. We once visited a client whose beautiful newly built home had been professionally painted throughout and she couldn’t understand why she wasn’t getting a good feeling inside her new home. We knew instantly that the paint colour was wrong for the space. Although it was a light neutral colour, it had a cool undertone which was fighting with the warmer undertones of her kitchen cabinetry, and just wasn’t giving her that warm, welcoming feeling she wanted in her home. To repaint the entire house was a huge undertaking and would take a lot of extra time and money. The right paint colour isn’t any more expensive, but the wrong paint colour can cost you dearly. That’s why it really pays to get it right the first time.

We know how daunting it can be to walk into a paint shop to be confronted by thousands of tiny paint chips. Where do you begin? That’s why we developed this colour course, to help you narrow down that selection and choose the perfect paint colour for your home. For roughly the cost of a 10L tin of paint we will teach you some basic colour knowledge and walk you through the process of putting a colour scheme together.

The course comprises of two downloadable booklets

Part 1 covers:

• colour basics;

• examples of colour schemes;

• the importance of undertones;

• choosing the right white;

• and tips for painting your trims and ceilings.

In part 2 we walk you through:

• putting your colour scheme together;

• where to start;

• how to narrow your choices down;

• a list of our 15 favourite tried and tested colours;

• tips from a professional painter;

• as well as lots of little tips and tricks throughout both booklets.

Our years of experience will help fast-track your colour knowledge and give you the confidence to choose your own paint colours.
