Shades of green

There’s some new thinking around combining different shades of the same colour in one space. ‘Using the darker shade on woodwork is a great way to introduce stronger colour without it being too scary or overwhelming,’ says Dominic Myland, CEO of Mylands. This highlights the detail of a space, enhancing its character, and is ideal for a period property. ‘It is a technique that inverts the more traditional method of stronger walls and lighter woodwork, but the great thing about paint is that there are no rules, so you can have lots of fun making the space right for you.’
