Fairytale Nursery
Colour repetition helps pull the look of a room together, giving it that “finished” look. Try to repeat a colour in a room 2 or 3 times for a cohesive look. For the nursery, think, accessories like toys or wall prints, window and floor coverings, bedding, accent walls, bookcases, desk sets and more to repeat colours. Using Swipe by Premier Colour Match Tool makes it easy to colour match paint and other room elements for a look you’ll love.
