If you know which colours you want to use in a room, but want to check how they look together, why not have a look at them on your PC screen before you get out a paintbrush?

How To Colour Co-ordinate Successfully

Method Three: Play With Colours Online

Dulux’s MousePainter allows you to play with Dulux’s colours in a room. Choose from a gallery of images the room that’s closest to the style of your own. You can then pick a colour, and click and drag it to fill an area of the room.

Repeat until you’ve filled all the available areas of the room, and until your colours are a harmonious set, not a clashing nightmare.

US site Design My Room also allows you to drag paint colours into a virtual room – as well as flooring, furniture and accessories – so you can check your colour scheming will co-ordinate.

  2. In some of your pictures displayed. Would you have dark furniture with a dark flooring? or would it be better with lighter furniture if you had dark laminated flooring?
