Welcome

A free creative resource for designers, decorators & interior painters.

If you are new to this Paint Some Colour blog then welcome. We have readers from around globe; from Australia to India, Japan and the U.S.A, as well as here at home in the U.K.

I've worked in the design industry for well over 25 years & my approach to colour selection is practical, creative and systematic.
My personal way of choosing colour is based on an analytical engagement with the subject and the creation of a visual story, supported by a unique library of images and materials collected over the years.

The last place I look to find the colour of my dreams is on a paint chart. It's not that I never go there, I do. It's just that the manufacturers paint chart is the final tool in the decision making process. I use them only to qualify my choices.

I'm also deeply interested in the historical evolution and the manufacturing of paint; its application and range of finish, from dead matt through to ultra gloss. The way light plays on a decorated surface, is as important as the very colour itself.

I work my craft professionally with PLAIN ENGLISH & BRITISH STANDARD CUPBOARD MAKERS
Showrooms in Hoxton Square, Marylebone London and Suffolk. England.

I also offer a COLOUR CONSULTANCY sevice

Please feel free to ask me about colour, paint, materials or decorating.

Other than that, please enjoy.

Paint.

My very well used paint cabinet.
This Blog is about paint, furniture, colour, materials.......it's also about sharing knowledge, advice and the joy of creating.

So, as you can see a well stocked paint cupboard is a good place to start. I save as much paint from past projects to use again; storing it properly keeps it from spoiling.
