Any experience? Using it virtually for ground floor rooms.....not sure what to expect.

Had it ten years ago with Joa Studholme. It was fab and I subsequently recommended it to others.

@MrsWonderland what was so great? Did it give you new ideas?

We did it a few years ago. It gave us confidence to go ahead and be a little more adventurous with colours.

So my problem with the F&B Colour consultation is that they have a prerogative to sell you paint, a feature wall here, a slightly less off-white white in this room which needs another £80 tin of paint.

Dulux offer a training course for colour design, I'm sure if you called up Dulux Select they would be happy to tell you a local dec that has gone on this course, and i'm fairly sure they will offer it cheaper, or even free.

Do try to be adventurous, paint can make such a huge diffrence to a room.

Sorry for the delay in replying. It gave us ideas for some interesting complimentary colours within rooms (of course you could do it yourself but I wouldn't have thought of it), there was advice about skirting boards - some the same colours as walls others different - and awkward areas which we weren't sure whether to treat as wall or as ceiling. External colour (front door) was also all sympathetic to the age of house and the area. And yes, I ended up being much braver in some colours which are ultimately my favourite parts of the house and now I'd go even darker. Hope that helps.

That’s brilliant thank you. I can’t wait to get started .
