What type of room would you like? Well, whatever it’s like, colour will be a very important part of it. The colour of your room can be as important as its size and the furniture you put in it. Some colours make a room seem warm and cosy, others make a room feel bright and large.

Using more than one colour is often a good idea, but you need to make sure that you choose colours that go well together. Bright yellow and pink may sound good, but you might just regret it when you realise that you have to wear sunglasses all the time!

So before you paint a room, it’s very important to experiment with some colours. By working out which colours you think go well together, you can make sure you buy the right paint to get your room looking great.
