Colour Tips when painting

Layering Colour

Layer more than one colour in a room to create added interest. For example, if you use Matchstick  on the walls, String could be used on the woodwork and a stronger colour such as Cat’s Paw or Mouse's Back  could be introduced on furniture, fireplaces or in the backs of bookcases.
