A Dutch retail formula, specialized in interior decoration for DIY, asked me to give some tips for the readers of their monthly magazine. The January edition is about colouring, paints and wallpapers and this theme will the subject for the next 8 blog posts.

Before you are planning to (re-) paint or wallpaper a room it is wise to consider a few things:

1. Who will attend this room and for what motive?
2. How is the flooring? (wooden floorboards, a carpet, tiles)?
3. In what part of the day the room will be used most frequently?
4. If the room will be frequented during the day, how will the daylight reach the room?
5. Is the house situated nearby the equator or a pole?
6. How is the view? Is it blocked by trees or other buildings or does the room have a magnificent vista?
7. What’s on the walls; are they bare or have they been paneled/ plastered?

Next post will focus on the first question.
