DO Consider Complements & Contrasts

 

If you love a particular palette, it can often be tempting to stick to that shade, and utilise it throughout your home. Don’t! Although a one hue aesthetic is sometimes ideal for some rooms, it can often be a little boring for others. So, be creative! Complement colours with other tones, or mix-and-match your palettes. Go on, get experimental.

 

DON’T Do It Yourself If You Don’t Know How

 

If you are unsure about a job or doubt your skills, don’t be afraid to call in the professionals. After all, it’s more important that a job is done right and to a high standard, no matter the cost.
