"# A fresh coat of paint is the obvious

solution when you’re looking for a
quick and affordable transformation.
For maximum impact, think beyond
a simple all-over splash of paint – consider using several
different shades in tandem to zone or define specific
areas within an open-plan space, or think about using
a bold secondary colour when painting skirtings, doors
and window frames. In this hallway, two contrasting
shades are used to create the illusion of a dado rail.
The idea has been taken a step further by extending
the colours across the door frame and panels to create
an elegant look akin to dip-dyeing.
