uk homes ‘unadventurous’ as 75% admit to obsessing over impressing their neighbours
I’ve been working closely with the team at ColourMatch to analyse the results from a nationwide survey on what people really think about their homes.
The study was released today and shows that three quarters of people admit their home ‘lacks personality’ and, when it comes to our homes, we are a nation obsessed with impressing others.
I had quite a busy day discussing the findings on no less than 12 radio interviews. Following is an extract of the press release with some stats I think you’ll find are an interesting insight into how the UK view their homes.

Fiat Launches ‘You Wear’ – A World-First Facebook Fashion App That Reveals What Colour You Wear Most Often
There is a famous quote from Henry Ford “Any customer can have a car painted any colour that he wants so long as it is black.” Well FIAT are changing all that.
I’ve been working with FIAT on a fun Facebook App and now I can finally share it with you. It’s a fun and playful way to find out what colour you wear most and what that says about you. And it matches you to your car colour too. You can share your results with your friends and invited them to play too.
colour makes people happy and it would seem a bit dizzy too
Back in February on my first visit to the Colour Makes People Happy store and meeting the very happy Simon March, I knew I’d be back.
So what better reason than to treat my good friend Janet (and colour lover) for her birthday, to a mini splatter painting party. No matter what the age, I think we all love to get out the paints, play and create.

bbc radio wales interview…wearing yellow gets you noticed Pippa Middleton style
The thing I love about radio, they are really tuned into the news of the day, as it’s happening. As a colour expert, I never know when I’m going to be called to comment on the colour stories of the day.
So it was no different last Friday morning when I received a call from Jason’s researcher, the lovely Angela asking if I could be on air in an hour to give my insights on some news stories relating to colour…

Does colour change the way we feel and behave? What Radio 4 DIDN’T tell you
Back in November I was interviewed by BBC Radio 4 as part of their week long Technicolour programme which was aired last week. Each day there were three colour experts speaking about their area of colour expertise from how our bodies create colour, colour language and perception, our reaction to colour, how colour is made and colour forecasting and trends.

dulux let’s colour – Virginia Primary School
Source - Dulux Let's Colour
I’d read about the let’s colour initiative from dulux and how they transform grey spaces worldwide with colourful paint. In essence, their mission is to spread colour all over the world.
As my passion is colour I knew I wanted to be part of this, so when they came to London to paint Virginia Primary School I was very fortunate to be part of the team.
