Top Tip of the Day
Colour
Colour - Make it warm & cosy.
Hot colours associated with fire and warmth are Red, Orange and Brown.
AVOID using Red in a child's bedroom or living room, as it can be too stimulating.
AVOID using Orange in small dark rooms.
AVOID using too much Brown without an accent colour - it will feel flat and depressing.
Color - Make it fresh & airy.
Energising colours are Yellow, Sky Blue and Green.
AVOID using Yellow in the bedroom, as they don't encourage a restful mood. Too much can be over stimulating.
AVOID using Blue in the dining room as it can feel a bit chilly and unwelcoming.
Green is an easy going shade, it can be used antwhere.
Colour - Make it calm & relaxing.
Lilac, Pink, Pale Blue and Stone which are soft and subtle and create harmony and relaxation.
AVOID using Lilac as it reflects a lot of light and can appear insipid or even sickly if used in sunny rooms or over large areas.
AVOID using Pink as it can appear sickly in a warm light.
AVOID using Plae Blue as it might appear too cold and unwelcomimg.
AVOID using Stone in busy active areas such as kitchen diners or hallways as it can leave you feeling lethargic.
Colour - Make it mysterious and dramatic.
Purple, Chocolate, Teal and Black evoke a strong sense of drama and emotion.
AVOID using Purple as too much may become overpowering.
AVOID using Chocolate and very small rooms with a lot of natural light.
AVOID using Teal in large areas - it's best used in small amounts.
AVOID using Black as too much will be overpowering.

The Games
A lot of praise and credit has gone to the thousands of volunteers and rightly so, but are there any thanks for the TORCHBEARERS! The BBC in it's final tribute has forgotten them.

NEXT HOME
I must congratulate NEXT HOME stores.
On visiting one of their stores last week, I was so impressed with the quality and style of display.
Colours were muted on the display stands in sympathy with the items they were selling.
Their furniture is young, bright and bold, designed and displayed and tested at their design HQ in Leicestershire first.
Not surprising that their group results are £600m profits.
Other retailers take note, that design is everything.
Comments please.
