Sometimes all it takes to liven up your living space is a lick of colour. Of course, with millions of hues to choose from, picking the right one can prove a difficult task. Thankfully Lick Colour & Design provides a specialist service to help colour your world.

Lick’s Terry Hogg works closely with homeowners, taking time to understand their lifestyles, personal tastes and home-space objectives before deciding upon the perfect colour scheme. His bold signature style balances rich colours with earthy neutrals and creates a wonderful interplay of light, form and function.

Terry believes it’s important to work with what you’ve got and develop a colour scheme in keeping with your home’s style and architectural features. Something which looks spectacular in an ultra-modern apartment can be a spectacular failure if translated to a traditional Victorian terrace. By first examining a space closely, he develops colour solutions that create atmosphere, accent design features and support the intent of any living or work environment.

Unless you want to be repainting every three months Terry believes it’s no use trying to follow “what’s hot” this season. Instead when you’re ready to update your home’s look, he advises to take cues from your existing artworks and furniture. By doing this you can develop a successful colour palette that won’t clash with what you’ve already own. Different paint tones can then be used to give rooms a unique feel, while creating a colour flow of that unites the home.
