We all have our favourite colours and colours that we prefer to have in certain areas of our homes, but how do we best create a complete colour scheme? If we are looking for harmony or some contrast, then the best tool we can use is the colour wheel. The first colour wheel was produced by Sir Isaac Newton in 1666. Since then, the basic colour wheel, which presents a sequence of pure hues arranged logically, has always been helpful.   Primary Colours A three-part colour wheel depicting the three primary colours is a good place to start. In traditional colour theory the primary colours of red, yellow, and blue can’t be formed by any combination of other colours. All other colours are derived from these three.   Secondary Colours By adding the secondary colours of green, orange and purple, we now have a six-part wheel. The three additional colours are produced by

"How Should I paint my ceiling? What colour should I use? What paint should I use?" Confused? Here are some tips from the painters and decorators in North London! Ceilings get stained by things like leaks, light bulbs, and smoke from real wood fires and cigarettes. Scrubbing and repainting doesn’t always work. Using an oil-based stain-block or damp-seal paint first can prevent the stain coming through. Decorating ceilings should be done first! When using oil-based paint on a ceiling, be sure to wear safety goggles in case the paint gets in your eyes. Your painters and decorators in North London prefer to use a roller with an extension pole rather than a ladder to paint the bulk of the ceiling as it is safer, but we do getup there for the finishing touches!

There comes a certain point where your home starts to feel bland, and a change is needed. You might think that a complete renovation is needed, but all you need is to repaint! Here's a guide from your favourite Painters and Decorators in North London for interior painting.   It may be tempting to buy cheaper brands of paint, but it can work out being more expensive in time, money and effort than buying a quality brand, and making sure the surfaces are sealed. Poor quality paints won't  cover as well so you'll need more - that's why they are often in such large cans - and you may have to paint an extra coat or two to get a sufficient finish. Make sure you're stocked up on paint in the same colour and finish to complete the job. Paints are made in batches and there may be  slight

Feng Shui is basically an environmental science and its origins are simple. It is based on an interpretation of the natural world which enabled the Chinese to create efficient agricultural systems, and also the study of the movement of heavenly bodies in order to determine the passage of time. Over the centuries, the interpretation grew more complex and became removed from its original purpose. Present day North London and Enfield residence fail to even mention Feng Shui to us Painters and Decorators. Has it been lost? As its exponents spread out from China across the world, their beliefs altered to fit into local beliefs and customs and, inevitably, folklore and superstition grew up around them. Fortunately, the ancient Chinese preserved the information in written form. In essence, all societies retain the knowledge contained in Feng Shui, but it has become absorbed into different disciplines. In China

Summer is coming and for a lot of people, that means holidays are, too. If you’ve decided to use your Summer holiday to get things in order in your home, you might be contemplating painting. Exterior painting can be tricky but not impossible during the summer. Since you can’t control the weather, here are some tips for planning your summer paint job: 1. Paint in the early mornings or late evenings when the temperatures are cooler. 2.Don’t paint when it’s windy because dust and debris can stick to wet paint. 3. Don’t paint in direct sunlight. The quality of the paint job depends on surface temperature, not just the air. 4. Surface preparation is the most important in summer months. Somers painters recommend that surface prep should take as long as the paint job. 5. Avoid the hottest days. The heat can cause the paint to dry too quickly, ruining the

The decorating rules that apply to other rooms go out the window when space is tight, and it takes major creativity to fit everything in. Here are some Painting and Decorating Tips to make the most of your Small Space. Steer clear of these common mistakes; Think horizontally, not vertically. Choose a vertical wardrobe instead of the typical horizontal dresser for your clothes, and take advantage of wall space with floating shelves. Since when are side tables just side tables?
