Inspiration from 2024 trends

According to Fiona, this year embraces a palette that harmonises with nature. Warmer whites, rich greens, and the subtlety of nude, blush, and caramel tones dominate interior colour schemes. Fiona comments, "These tones create a timeless and sophisticated aesthetic, allowing homeowners to inject personality without overwhelming the space.”

Top three tips in choosing internal paint colour

Consider all elements

Creating a cohesive colour scheme involves meticulous consideration of all elements within the space, even down to the colour of window frames. Fiona advises, "Undertones play a crucial role in achieving a harmonious scheme.”

Natural light matters

Tailor your colour choices based on the room's natural light. Cooler tones complement well-lit spaces, while warmer tones thrive in areas with less light. "Understanding your space is key to selecting the right hues," says Fiona.

Navigating whites

Selecting whites can be tricky, but Fiona suggests, "Opt for whites with a neutral undertone. They act as versatile canvases that complement both cooler and warmer elements seamlessly.”

Mistakes to avoid

Fiona emphasises that the biggest mistake when selecting paint is choosing a colour that doesn't resonate with you. "Colour is personal and emotive. Trends can guide, but your home should reflect you," she advises. Trust your instincts and choose colours that bring you joy.
