You cant ask if you dont know what you are asking for, I need ideas.

Its so hard because its all down to personal taste..there are no 'rights an wrongs' really with colour...its all about what you like.

Lots of people see us dekkies as experts in colour, we aint...all I do is reassure a customer that a colour scheme will look 'ok'..I never pass an opinion unless im really pushed.

Theres no point in saying 'oh you could go for an ochre and green with off white woodwork..because you may not like those type of colours..give us a start a canvas...and maybe we can chip in with some ideas (watch out for the arguements!! lol)

I can advise on shades and the layout of colours etc...but not what the colour should be itself...its a dodgy area, if you suggest a colour scheme to someone and they dont like it....whos going to pay to put it right??

And I hate leaving a job knowing the customer isnt 100% satisfied.

Elaborate a bit RED in what way do you need advice?

What works a treat is to have flat walls & cielings, and apply a coving, Then apply an B&Q dado rail at an picture rail hieght (i.e leading into "top" of facing around doors). Then apply a coat of English Light Oak Wood dye over dado rail, then varnish over. Then apply an light shade (any colour) on cieling, coving & above dado rail. Then apply an deeper shade from the above colour but same tone. Then apply oil based satinwood on all wood and do it the same shade as above dado rail or vice versa. Honestly it is brilliant when done.
