Hi everyone,

I want to repaint my house & bedroom (originally all walls are white colour).

I wish can try some new colours combinations for my living room & bedroom. Any colour can recommend? What colours matching for bedroom can make it looks romantic & spacious?

Thank you for your opinion.

Can beige match with apple green? Any interior design provide consultation regarding the colour combination only? How it charge?

Light colour will make the room 'look' more spacious.
Romantic colour very subjective ler. But most of the people think pink and purple look romantic.

Good question...this is depend on individual with what he / she prefer colour, that the reason you better DIY using those tool, also it is free hence the consultant only give advised base on what your prefer else he/ she will choice from you.
Example: I ask my Kids what the prefer, than I informed the consultant, the he do the matching including the code, but at that end I select more light colour from the list.

ALternative your could got for ID too, which will be charging you each design.


From how you respond, I guess you already have idea what your preference rights?

Actual Nippon is similar like ICI, that you need to send in your room / exterior, etc photo to them, and they do matching and send back to you, but you need to pay and return with some discount vourche...

On the link I provide early, you could try the Jotun COlour Advisor
http://colouradvisor.jotun.com/countrys/eng/
or
http://icivis.uslxprod.iciwce.com/colourto...nter/loader.htm

Once you get prefer colour, could dropby those shop to get colour scheme to simulate it..

Feature wall is the first wall u see once u enter the hall/room - it's either right or left (depending on which side your door opens first). Do not use the end of the hall eg at the sliding door/balcony area. If for bedroom, the feature wall will be at the head of your bed. Only use your favourite colour at the feature wall, the rest of the walls should be neutral (either warm or cool) . Warm neutral is advisable for living/dining and cool neutral suitable for bedroom.

You can match dark warm colours with neutral warm colours or dark cool colours with neutral cool colours. Don't mix warm and cool, u won't get the effects that u want. Regarding what are the colours of warm and cool neutral, you can refer to the paint catalogue available freely at any paint shop smile.gif
