STEP 6 SELECTING YOUR FINISHES

• Choose each finish

• to enhance the best features of your space and play down the worst

• with maintenance in mind

• to create character and/or insulate and hide imperfections

• to suit the activity and to set the tone and mood of the scheme eg flooring

• Use colour scheming guidelines for advancing and receding effects

• Use pattern and layout to create dynamics and texture
