What we'll cover: This workshop is perfect for those of you who have completed our Colour Confidence workshop.

From there, you’ll pick out paint colours, wallpaper, and fabric samples to create your own mood board. We’ll chat about the colour wheel and how to mix and match colours and patterns in a way that really works. You’ll also learn how the direction your room faces can change how colours look, and we’ll touch on colour psychology to help you choose shades that suit the vibe you're after. It’s all about having fun with colour and designing a space that feels just right.
