Choosing colour is fraught with difficulty, even if you have a strong sense of your own style. So many factors are at play: the orientation of the room, the colours you already have on flooring and furniture, how to combine colours successfully so that the finished look is cohesive instead of conflicting.
The stakes can be high because who has the time or money to paint a room twice over? Get it wrong – or even a little bit off – and you’re going to have to live with it every day. No wonder, then, that the majority of us err on the cautious side with white, grey and beige instead of being braver with colour combinations.
