  • Colour wheels are amazing things to use to match colours, the colour immediately opposite is the one that most goes with the colour you want to choose, so in your case green/turquoise

    You can please some of the people some of the time, all of the people some of the time, some of the people all of the time but you can never please all of the people all of the time

    Yes that small highlight of blue in the original photo really adds to show off the orange.
    Takes me back.
    But using the best from the past is a great idea. I love it. It's happy and sunny.
    So great to see originality and fun. I thought the whole world had turn grey.

    I can rise and shine - just not at the same time!

    Treasure the moments that you have. Savour them for as long as you can for they will never come back again.

    Ohhh yes!  But in a small room like a bathroom, might be a tad overwhelming.  I'd stick with the orange/black combo but add teal highlights in small areas, such as glassware, lining of a towel etc etc.

    Thank you. That makes sense.
    What colour of shower wall would you suggest? That's the main issue I'm struggling with now. Dark, graphity?
    Like the idea for highlights :smile:  I have some nice whisky bottles which I could fill with teal-coloured dye...
