CREATE A MINIATURE FEATURE WALL
A fabulous way
COLOUR
BLOCKING
Visit an art supply store and
pick up some inexpensive
canvases then grab a few
tester pots of your favourite colours. Paint each canvas a different colour then
hang them in a row as an
easy way to introduce colour
blocking. You can go big
if you like by buying larger
canvases or keep it small by
stacking a row of canvases
at the end of a hallway.
to incorporate a
splash of colour
without overwhelming
a room is by painting
behind an item.
Tape off the wall behind
an open-backed
bookcase and paint the
space with one of the
year's hottest colours.
When your bookcase is
put back against the wall,
shots of colour will sizzle
behind each open square
or shelf. ■
