Colours of the Year 2022
There is no easier way to update your home than with a fresh coat of paint.
In the design world, the new year means new colours from the paint companies – colours that capture the mood of the moment and, in turn, help create mood and atmosphere in our homes. For 2022, the direction is clear. We’re head over heels for soft shades of green, as well as warm colours that feel like a welcoming embrace.

Which will bring a fresh new look to your rooms in 2022?
A WORLD OF GREEN
It’s easy being green, at least it is in 2022, because at all the paint companies, shades of green dominate. We closely associate green with nature, so it’s considered calming and tranquil, and able to give us a feeling of hopeful renewal – just what we need.
