COLOURS TO USE WITH CAUTION

-

Although there are no taboo colours when it comes to decorating, Marianne advises us to think carefully when using bright yellow and red. ‘Yellow is a bit like a big bumblebee, that’s the impact that it has on a room.

It’s full of dynamic energy, but equally it can sting’. As an energising colour, a bright yellow bathroom could be just what you need to give you a spring in your step in the morning, but it might be too stimulatin­g for a child’s bedroom.

Red is another colour that can be tricky to work with. Its fiery tones remind us of passion so it can be perfect for intimate spaces. However, it’s such a strong colour that it can feel overpoweri­ng for some of us.
