I have just been reminded of some of my favourite colour mixing tips and thought I'd share them with you today.

When mixing colours on your Fermob furniture there are so many to choose from it can be quite daunting and there are many ways to put colours together. Here are a couple of simple steps that will result in a stunning combination every time:

1. Limit your colour palette to a maximum of three different colours

2. Use one of the following two recipes to pick your colours

  • 1 Base + 1 Pastel + 1 Bright
  • 1 Base + 1 Intense + 1 Bright

3. Now that you have your colour palette you can apply it to a collection of furniture. And again there is a recipe to follow:

  • Pick your dominant colour and use this on the table
  • Repeat the table colour on some of the chairs
  • Use the remaining colours across the rest of the chairs

An example of the 1 Base + 1 Intense + 1 Bright recipe - just one of many possibilities.
