Colour and design are big themes at this year's Home & Interiors Show with a number of seminars covering aspects of colour and design to consider when renovating, building or refreshing your home. But how do you know which colour to choose and is there a bigger picture to consider than just slapping a few sample paintpots on the wall? Are there some guidelines and latest trends to draw into the process?
Colour is a vital aspect of any home transformation and the aesthetic and psychological impacts are enormous. There are so many things to consider and a slight tint can make the world of difference when you take your unique setting - lighting, personality, furniture... into account.
Colour Trends
Our seminar programme includes presentations with Carolyn Atkinson of Resene talking about the new trends in the colour world. She also gives insights into professional secrets that will help you make decisions to get the best results whether it be a big or small job.
Colour Harmony
Beth Strickland of Colour Harmony is part of the new wave of Democratic Design. The philosophy is based on the work of French designer Philipple Starck and looks at how understanding how colour and design influence behaviour and making it work for you and anyone who interacts in your space through intelligent use of colour.
Sustainable Interior Design
Rennie Williamson of Tonic Interiors takes you into the world of Sustainable Interior Design. The approach is all about looking after yourself and the environment. Your home should be good for your wellbeing, making you feel energised and minimising environmental impacts.
