Here's how to paint your own colourful focal point at home.

Channel 4's Changing Rooms reboot, in partnership with Dulux, saw celebrity designer Whinnie Williams create a colour drench corner for homeowners in West Yorkshire (series two, episode four).

A great way to experiment with using colour in the home, the colour drenching technique helps to make smaller rooms feel bigger by phasing the walls and ceilings into one. It can also modernise older, more traditional spaces, plus sectioning off corners of a room in this way helps to zone areas, from a cosy reading nook to a children's play space.

'I loved the colour drench corner Whinnie designed this week – there’s no better way to honour your favourite colour more than by creating simple yet stylish focal points like this,' said Stephanie King, Content Lead at Dulux. 'These look all the more effective when you have decorative accents in the same room in matching hues – think cushions, throws, photo frames – to create a cohesive living space to make any interiors nerd drool.'

To help inspire homeowners to be brave with colour, here's a step-by-step guide on how to create a colour drench corner yourself.

First and foremost, make sure you have the following equipment at the ready:

1. Use a pencil and spirit level to mark the outline of your corner, from top to bottom.

2. Next, connect the top of the lines on each wall with a diagonal line across the ceiling.

3. Set the lines with a low-tac masking tape for delicate surfaces.

4. 'Seal the tape in place with the paint you're using. We recommend Dulux Simply Refresh One Coat, as this extra-thick formula guarantees to leave you with a fully opaque finish from the first swipe – perfect for achieving that colour-block effect in next to no time,' says Stephanie. For this project, Stephanie used Everglade Forest – a bold yet cosy forest green.

5. Starting with a small brush, connect the two lines marked with the tape on the ceiling with a curved line.

6. Then with a bigger brush, fill in the rest of the ceiling section and then work your way down the edge where the two walls connect.

7. 'Once the tape is all sealed, fill in the middle sections with a roller and leave to dry for 4-6 hours,' Stephanie recommends.

8. Once the paint is nearly dry, gently peel off the duct tape to ensure a nice, crisp line.

9. Finally, decorate the room with furniture and décor to match for a well-rounded and sophisticated living space.
