How to give your home the natural look

Combining natural colours

Louise Smith, Dulux's Colour and Design Manager, advises on mixing different shades in one scheme

To prevent a room looking muddled, never use more than three colours for walls, floor and woodwork.

Always have one dominant colour in your living room scheme, to take the lead.

Greens are an ideal colour for living rooms as they provide a welcome respite from our busy lives. For a modern twist, try yellow toned green with a cool grey.
