Home Economics
This year go all out for experimentation and use
pastel palates to get the most from ‘neutral
nouveau’. Flippant consumerism is out,
refreshing cherished items and making them
feel new and current, is in. Creativity is key, and
ostentatious luxury is a thing of the past.
It’s becoming more fashionable to be frugal
nowadays, so take the time to give your home
a personal touch. As a youngster we all took
on arts and crafts, so it’s time to put those
sewing classes and potato printing lessons
to good use.
The big theme driving colour trends for décor
is as always the fashion industry and this
year is no different. Many of the reliable
creams and pastels that have gained favour
in colour schemes in recent years will still
feature strongly but here is a few colours and
tones to watch for this spring: Violet, Aurora,
Turquoise, Tuscany, Amparo Blue, Pink
Champagne and Eucalyptus
Take off those tired cushion covers, pick up
some inexpensive fabric, or reuse what you
have lying around the house and spruce it
up with fabric paint. You can also use this
premise on your walls – there are stencils
and wall stickers available in Albany so
why not give your walls the once over with
a splash of colour.

Top Tips
Renovating can be a costly affair, so pop down to your local Albany where our staff can offer simple
tips and advice on how to achieve a fresh new look for your home without breaking the bank.
Transform your space by using some of our simple tricks:
•Wallpaper can dramatically change
the character of a room whilst hiding a
multitude of sins.
•Using lighting and colour can brighten up
a dark space.
•Contrasting paint schemes can alter your
perception of room size.
•If you’re afraid of using bold colours,
pick one wall as an accent and use
complementary colours elsewhere.
•Colour instantly adds interest and vitality.
It’s the easiest part of the room to change
and also the least expensive.
•Adding window treatments can make a
vast improvement, and using rich fabrics
will add a luxurious feel to your room.
•Don’t forget the details! Use cushions to
soften a room and make it more inviting,
transforming it into a space where you will
want to linger.
•Lighting is a key feature that is often
overlooked, so avoid harsh fluorescent lighting.
•Properly planned and fitted, lighting does
much more for décor than just add light.
It is one of the most important means of
creating mood and atmosphere in any room.
•Create a focal point of, perhaps, your
favourite artwork. This can help bring the
colour scheme together, making the room
look complete and professionally finished.
Whatever your budget, Albany can help you
change your house into a home.

Colour is the quickest and easiest way to make a big
difference in a room. Colours can make a room warmer
or colder, bigger or smaller, and affects our mood.
Give colour a chance to make a dramatic change in your
home. Albany have a massive selection of coordinated
pattern and colour matching samples and with a
dedicated advice service you’re bound to find that
perfect look for any room.
Using Textiles in Your Home

textures to your rooms.
