How to choose a colour scheme for your home

Want to try something a little different but not feeling brave enough to go too bold? This blue and sage green shade is not only super calming and relaxing, but it's a great colour for bright rooms that are in need of a touch of colour.

We love how neutral and serene this colour is, and it matches most furnishings and decor beautifully. It's especially stylish against natural furnishings like wicker baskets and warming brown shades.

There's nothing like a calming shade of sage to add some colour to your living room while keeping it relaxing. Even if you only choose to add it to one wall as a feature, it'll totally transform your space.

It's understandable why you might simply want to upgrade your trusty neutral walls to a fresher lick of paint. This cosy shade of beige is ideal for all living spaces and furniture.

Grey tones have become increasingly popular in recent years, but it's easy to go too dark when it comes to greys. This very pale grey will still feel very light in your room while still feeling warm.

We know what you're thinking - black living room walls seems like a crazy idea, but an increasing number of us are opting for black as a contrast to our bright and colourful furniture. And as long as your floors and ceilings are light in colour, and you get plenty of natural light in your living room, there's no reason why you can't give black paint a try too.

Transform your living space with this bold teal shade. It'll look fabulous with different coloured furnishings, such as pinks, yellows and greys, and would make a brilliant colour for a feature wall.

Navy is one of the best colours you can pick for a living room. It goes with so many different colours and it brings a real cosy feel to any room. Deep hues like navy create a snug and inviting feel to any living room space.

For a warm sunny space, that always feels bright and inviting, opt for a cosy shade of yellow. The deeper you go, the warmer the room will feel, and it looks lovely matched up against deep plump shades greys and blacks.

Although it may feel a little too feminine for some, pink is a gorgeous shade for a living room, especially when you opt for one that's on the duskier side. It goes lovely with greys and especially with greens if you're a fan of houseplants.

Keep things super cool and neutral with a beige kitchen that'll feel classic and warm. It goes perfectly with neutral or black details and also we love the touch of gold handles for an extra luxurious feel.

Add a splash of playful pink to your kitchen for a super eye-catching and pretty feel. If you're not brave enough to paint the whole kitchen pink, try adding some pink accessories first to see how it feels.

Perfect for a country kitchen, green is a classing and calming colour for any kitchen space. For brighter kitchens, you could even try painting the cupboards a darker green for a more snug feel.

Be super on trend with a navy kitchen, and add copper accessories for an even more stylish feel. Navy is a really versatile colour, and will work well in both modern and traditional kitchen spaces.

Have a small kitchen with not much light? Opt for a light grey shade that'll still feel modern but will always feel classic. We love the contrast of wooden worktops and a classic tiled floor.

This rustic black kitchen feels very Scandinavian and modern. It goes perfectly with white tiles, wooden floors and worktops and also looks brilliant next to your favourite houseplants and open brick if you're lucky enough to have any.

We'd recommend keeping any darker colours limited to one wall if you're wanting to go for something different in the bedroom to avoid it becoming too dark and not welcoming.

Neutral earthy tones work really well in the bedroom as they're super calming. This neutral brown tone will help your room feel super relaxing and calm, and looks great with crisp white bedding.

There are so many pretty pink colours that aren't the type of pink that's in your face. Calmer, more dusky pinks are great for bedrooms, and you can mix pinks with neutral tones, and darker grey shades.

If you're looking for something that will go with everything, grey's a great. They can help the room feel much cosier and will go with most bedroom furniture you already have.

There's something so calming about green, especially if you're someone who finds the outdoors relaxing. Pair your green wall with white or cream furnishings to keep the room bright and airy.

As this is another dark colour, it might be best to start with just the one wall. Especially if you have a room that's on the smaller side. It's best to put the feature wall on the wall where your bed is.

Similar to the navy, this feature wall has a more natural feel. Pair with rattan accessories, like rugs and baskets as well as plants to help the room feel more calming and relaxing.

If you've got bold tiles or eye catching accessories in your bathroom, you might prefer to go for a more neutral colour in the walls with a beige kind of colour.

We love this bold teal shade on the walls of this bathroom, and contrasted with the white tiles and the gold lights, it gives a real luxury effect.

If you get plenty of light in your bathroom and you have a lot of white porcelain or tiles, you might want to try something darker. And if you can't settle on a colour, try a charcoal grey shade.

Blue has always been a popular bathroom colour thanks to its nautical links. It's also a really calming colour that looks amazing with white and other shades of blue.

Looking for the perfect shade to compliment your light tiles and darker units? This green shade is classic, elegant and also very calming for when you're having some you time.

A subtle pink shade can really make your bathroom space feel like your little boudoir, and it'll look lovely with your bathroom plants, black accents and white tiles to bring the whole room together while looking stylish and modern.
