Office decorated in various shades of blue

Define a space with colour

 
Choose toning shades to define a space

More homes are now open plan, with rooms flowing into each other. The easy option is to paint them all cream, but this means that different zones can lose their identity. Try using varying tones of a similar colour in each area. They'll then feel like individual rooms when you want them to, but visually will work side by side.


Good for: Open-plan living and dining rooms, dual-function home offices.
