HALF PAINTED WALLS - I NEED TO TRY THIS

The half painted wall. I must do this. Now. It is sick.

Visually it creates interest and breaks up a room. It can actually make a room seem higher because it takes the eye upwards. If you have a low ceiling (below 2.5m) try 1/2 neutral darker on the bottom and go lighter on the top otherwise it will feel too heavy and won't work. Don't make the split over 50% of the way up the wall if your home is on the lil' side.

If you have the luxury of high ceilings knock yourself out in terms of proportion. I'm thinking a grey, something like The Little Greene Lead colour (117)  on 75% of the way up and then a bright but warm white on top. Take this girl to Homebase.
