Ways of Decorating

Ideas and techniques for decorating your interior with colour.

Colour Drenching

The art of wrapping a whole room in a single colour — walls, woodwork and ceiling.

Colour Capping

Colour capping: one colour family, from the palest value on the walls to the deepest on the ceiling, by way of the cornice. Why it works, how to get it right - and six ready-to-paint Mylands gradients.

Cloud Capping

Cloud capping: a soft, warm white ceiling chosen from the wall colour's own related whites rather than a stark trade white. Why it works, how to choose your white - and six ready-to-paint Mylands pairings.

Colour Blocking

Colour blocking: crisp, considered blocks of colour on the walls, and finishes that answer each other - the step after drenching. Why it works, how to set out your blocks - and six ready-to-paint Mylands palettes.

The Sixth Wall

The sixth wall: colour carried onto the floor - solid, checkerboard or a painted zone - to anchor a room or divide its space. Why it works, how to paint a floor that lasts - and six ready-to-paint Mylands palettes.

Freeform & Furniture Framing

Freeform painting and furniture framing: an arch, a loose shape painted straight onto the wall, or a block of colour that frames a piece of furniture. Why it works, how to draw your shape - and six ready-to-paint Mylands palettes.
