Start your spring makeover

Spring begins at home

Find your pigment-rich colours and shop high-quality paint for your new season refresh.

Brighter days are here

Spring is the season of reset: lighter layers, more natural light, and colour choices often inspired by nature for an uplifting, airier feel. From calm, restful bedrooms to kitchens ready for hosting, we’ll help you find timeless colours so you can enjoy them in spring and beyond. To start, determine your rooms direction by pointing a compass at the window, whichever way it falls is your room direction.

North facing

These rooms receive limited natural light throughout the day, and the light that does filter in carries a cooler, more subdued tone. To balance this, choose colours with warm yellow and pink undertones.

East facing

These rooms capture the gentle warmth of the morning sun before settling into cooler, subtler tones later in the day, offering a dynamic play of light and atmosphere. Choose balancing colours that adapt throughout the day and warmer tones for spaces most used in the evening.

South facing

These rooms are more often flooded with more consistent warm light throughout the day, making them one of the best rooms to explore colour with. If you want to balance the warmth, opt for colours with a cool grey or blue undertone.

West facing

West-facing rooms are bathed in warm, golden afternoon light, making nature-inspired colours, like greens, earthy taupes and uplifting blues the ideal choices to complement and enhance the space.

Pick your project

Inspired by our community's recent transformations, here are 4 projects you can start depending on how much time you have.

Three days

Painting larger rooms like kitchens, open plan spaces or hallways is a great long weekend project. For higher-traffic areas like hallways and those prone to moisture, like kitchens and bathrooms we recommend Lick Supreme, which has been expertly formulated with a Class 1 Scrub Rating and moisture-resistant technology to withstand steam and regular cleaning.

Two to three days

Colour drenching is a contemporary painting technique where you drench your ceiling, walls and woodwork in a single colour. You can choose a neutral like Taupe 03 in this bedroom or choose your favourite colour.

Two days

Painting your woodwork (think shelves, up-cycled furniture or DIY panelling) typically takes two days (prep included). Create a seamless look using one colour across your walls and woodwork or, let the woodwork do the talking with neutral walls and bold accents. For a slightly higher sheen on your woodwork with excellent durability, opt for our soft Lick Eggshell finish.

One day

If you're looking for a quicker project you can update a small bathroom or box room in a day. We recommend our Lick Supreme Ultra Flat Matt finish for bathrooms as it has been designed to withstand steam, splashes and regular cleaning.

Finding colour inspiration in the every day

“When choosing a colour palette for your home, I want you to step away from Pinterest for a minute, and go outside to see colour in your everyday life! Look at the sky, florals, take a walk around your local park and even your local bakery to find your next favourite colour palette.” Tash Bradley

Summer is here

Summer is the season for making the most of your home: brighter days, open windows, and spaces designed for everything from slow mornings to evenings spent entertaining. Summer light has a unique quality, gently overlaying interiors with a soft, hazy brightness that lifts shadows, mutes colour intensity, and softens edges. Understanding how this seasonal light interacts with your space can help you choose colours that feel timeless throughout summer and beyond. From cool, restful bedrooms to living rooms and kitchens made for gathering, we’ll help you find timeless colours you’ll enjoy throughout summer and beyond. To get started, determine your room’s direction by pointing a compass at the window - whichever way it falls is your room orientation.
