Creating impactful spaces

Exclusively at B&Q

Adding character to a home and creating impact can help you to elevate your customers space to a new level! But how do you achieve this and what are the right colours to choose?

Whether it’s a quick refresh or a longer-term interior project, colour can help to create impact and truly bring a room to life. However, it’s important that your customer’s individual personality is not lost along the way, keeping a home their home.

Here’s some ideas you could suggest to create impactful spaces:

Make a standout feature out of the staircase. Painting the spindles and risers in an unexpected colour, like blue, can help to create an element of surprise. Playing around with clever colour blocking here can really turn a room into an exciting space.

For your customers that prefer neutral walls, why not suggest making a statement with a confident colour on the ceiling. This is particularly ideal for period homes that have higher ceilings.

Front doors are a great place to start in delivering a wow-factor look, using a trendy colour – like pinks, yellows, greens and blues. The possibilities really are endless for a statement front door!

If you’re working in a kitchen with lots of white or grey, why not add a pop of colour by painting a bold contrast colour underneath the kitchen island. Alternatively, small furniture flips can create the same colour focus, turning vintage or second-hand furniture into a statement piece in a room.
