A Colour Experts Guide to… Creating the Perfect Paint Scheme in Your Home

Tash Bradley is a colour expert and Director of Interior Design at Lick. As the author of the bestselling book ‘Master The Art of Colour’, she has built a reputation for helping people understand not just how colour works, but how it makes us feel.

In this episode, host and interior designer Athina Bluff sits down with Tash to explore the transformative power of colour and paint and the often-overlooked relationship between light, space, and mood. Tash explains why understanding a room's orientation is the foundation of every successful colour scheme, and how the changing quality of natural light throughout the day can dramatically alter the way a paint is experienced.

The two talk about the rituals of choosing paint colours, from testing samples on different walls to living with them over time, and why patience is often the secret ingredient in creating a home that feels truly considered. Tash also shares her approach to creating flow between rooms and discusses the rise of colour drenching - a technique that can bring warmth, character, and a surprising sense of calm when used thoughtfully.

The conversation moves beyond decoration into the psychology of colour itself. They discuss how different shades can shape the atmosphere of a room, influence our emotions, and support the way we live, work, rest, and connect with one another. Drawing on examples from her own projects, Tash reveals how colour can be used not just to transform a space, but to transform the experience of being in it.

The two also answer listener questions on choosing the right white paint, balancing bold colours with neutrals, and overcoming the fear that so often accompanies decorating decisions.

This debut episode is about confidence, intuition, and learning to trust your eye. It's about creating homes that reflect who we are, and understanding how colour can quietly shape the way we feel every day.
