A SHADE OF DIFFERENCE

1 FULL EMBRACE

Looking to embrace blue in a big way? Colour-drenching is the trending paint technique on everyone’s lips. Carried up the walls, across woodwork and onto the ceiling, this full-on approach is high impact and utterly breathtaking. ‘To create subtle definition, try contrasting paint finishes in the same shade, for example high gloss with flat matt,’ advises Ruth Mottershead, creative director, Little Greene.

Etruria intelligent matt emulsion, £64 for 2.5ltr; Etruria intelligent gloss, £38 for 1ltr; Etruria intelligent eggshell, £80 for Bronze Red intelligent floor paint, £41.50 for 2.5ltr, all Little Greene.
