Dark isn't always a bad thing.
Direct Cladding has a number of colours you may never have thought of for home decor.
Ash and Slate are used to match floor tiles in bathrooms, shower rooms, kitchens and hallways - maybe changing halfway up the wall to allow a bright aspect above.
But the same colours could be used to clad an entire Gaming or Cinema Room. Darker Blues and Greens can be very calming, if subtly lit, ideal while soaking in the tub.
Rich colours amongst our Greens and Reds can change how everything else in a room feels, creating a completely different vibe.
When thinking about your colour choice, try starting from what the space is going to be used for and what atmosphere you want set when using it.
