There are some people who have those incredible dream jobs, like a wine taster or a travel writer. And for design nerds, a colour expert is right up there.

In this episode of At Home with Lauren Keenan we talk to Wendy Rennie, Colour and Concept Manager at Australian-owned Haymes Paint. Wendy tells us all about colour trends and forecasting and the power of colour in your home. She’s is about as expert as a colour expert can be!

We learn how embracing colour is not as scary as you think. It’s about choosing something you love, rather than being a slave to the trends. And paint is actually relatively easy to change if you don’t like it or are ready to try something new.

It’s part of our series talking to incredible people doing amazing things in property, homewares and interior design. They are all experts – whether it’s homewares, design, building and carpentry, landscape design and much more.

Let us know what you think of the new name, the new look and the new sound for the show. And get in touch if you’ve got ideas for topics you want us to tackle on the next season of the podcast.

No matter where you live, if you need my advice on how to use colour to create your perfect home just email me. And you can also follow along on Instagram or check out my work here on the website.
