ANNOUNCES THE KEY COLOURS FOR 2015
The colours we will want to use in our homes over the next year reflect a desire to create spaces that offer

prevent a light line around the bottom of the
room, which can look hard. For a smudge effect,
use Dead Salmon on other woodwork and Joa's
White on ceilings. Muted Oval Room Blue looks
