Pinks, greens, yellows and splashes of lime all sit happily against a background of soft powder blue in this homage to everything fifties. For an authentic finishing touch, paint furnishings using the latest acrylic based glosses to provide a tough, durable and fast drying finish.
Mix florals with bold swirls, then jazz up plain walls by adding thin mdf shapes such as circles and lozenges, painted to match your walls. Remember these are meant to draw the eye so ensure you get a perfect finish by preparing surfaces well and using a quality paint.
Baby blue is back and ideal for updating tired kitchen units. Team with retro inspired accessories and colourful stylised floral fabrics. When decorating the kitchen use specialist paints that repel moisture and opt for hard wearing acrylic based gloss that allows wood to breath.
