personal 54colour combinations 5 + 1 styles to choose from The idea of a selection of a few basic styles comes from the customer feedback we have received. It becomes easier to select colours when it is done one step at a time based on reasoning. When you begin by selecting a style that is closest to your ideas and tastes, the colour options for your decoration are easily found. In addition to the five basic styles, we also designed one set of Feelings trend colours. The trend colours are renewed regularly based on the spirit of the time. The newest Feelings trend colour combinations are found at www.tikkurila.com. Every style set contains nine interior design colour combinations designed by professionals. There is a total of 54 new colour chips. For the first time we have also included pearl and metal shimmering Taika colours. What kind of decorator are you? Read the style classifications in this guide and think about which best describes your personality. You can also complete an easy, indicative style test on Tikkurila's web page www.tikkurila.com. We are not claiming that everyone will find their exact style among these options. People are not that simple, thank goodness. We all have many different personality characteristics and our tastes vary depending on the situation. You may find ideas and thoughts that describe you in several styles. The main point in our five basic styles is that they create a framework for designing your style that makes it easier to fit details into the big picture. Use Feelings colour chips like this: 4
