Episode 157: Colour Scheming

Sophie and Kate are back with the fourth part of their Back to Basics series… and this one’s all about colour. Some people are all for bold Crayola vibes - others prefer a calming neutral. Either way, this episode has you covered.

Sophie shares her go-to method for starting a scheme (hint: it usually begins with a cushion) and explains how to layer colour in a way that feels personal and pulled together. Kate flies the flag for powerful neutrals… even if it did take her five repaints to land on the right greige!

Laughs, colour mishaps, and loads of brilliant advice on undertones, contrast, and how not to choose your wall colour from a tiny swatch. Oh, and Sophie’s hatred for beige carpets is very real.
