Impact of colour

Are you looking for a new wall colour that can add real character to your home? We have put together in our guide everything you need to know about the impact of colour!

Choosing the right wall colour affects the impact of a room, our well-being and also our mental state. For instance did you know that the colour blue can help to reduce stress? Or that orange can help to boost your productivity?

We have also recommended coordinating colours for each colour and explain the wallcovering textures that work well with these colours.
