The art of making changes for couples who care about colour


Take a deep breath and read Corinne's professional advice to help you attain decorating and home bliss if you and your significant other are having arguments about your colour selections.


1) Start by painting the rooms that are easiest.

Examine every room for which you will need to make judgments. Are some decisions easier to make than others? If so, begin there.



2) Make sensible decisions.

Consider the room's dimensions, the flooring type, the furniture you wish to use, and any clashing colours you must match. You will have fewer choices to make based on personal preference if you allow these elements to serve as your guide.


3) Ensure that each of you has a voice.

You might not see that you actually share more colour preferences than you initially believed if you are too preoccupied with arguing with each other.


4) Rate your colours on a scale of 1 to 10.

It can be very useful to rank your favorite colours on a scale of 1 to 10 if your opinions are very diverse. Can you compromise in that area and maybe have your say in a different room if your spouse scores a colour far higher than you do?

5) Consider the intensity of colour.

Maybe you can agree on a certain colour's qualities if you can't agree on the colour itself. If blazing orange isn't your thing, for instance, how about a more muted shade of terracotta for your walls?




6) Don't be scared to try new things.

Use the helpful Dulux Visualizer app to see how a colour will appear on your walls before making a purchase if you have trouble picturing it. This will assist you in making a decision by allowing you to see how several colors will appear at the touch of a button!


The best advice

Choose grey since it's quite adaptable and looks great in both traditional and modern designs. Do you think grey is a little boring? Use a vivid accent color, like yellow, to liven it up.
