Here at Lick we are aware that not everyone is loving the heatwave, especially when it comes to restless nights and sticky interiors...

Did you know that your choice of colour can actually make you FEEL cooler at home?


Tash Bradley, Lick’s Director of Interior Design & Colour Psychologist shares her top colour palette picks to turn down the temperature, and turn up the cool factor:


“When it comes to creating a relaxed and cooling atmosphere at home, look to the cool side of the colour wheel. Lick Blue 05 is a universally appealing mid blue with lilac undertones, which evokes the feeling of tranquillity, without feeling too chilly. This colour has vivid associations with the sky and water, making it a natural choice for creating a serene environment and a fresh feel.”

“It’s important to keep things light when choosing a colour that will make your surroundings feel on the cool side, even on a scorching summer’s day. Lick White 01 has a crispness that will help keep things fresh, conjuring up images of whitewashed greek villages and calming scandi interiors. Dark colours have the opposite effect, as the darker the colour, the more it absorbs the light and makes your room warmer and more cosy, having the same effect on the people within it.”

“Keep your green hues fresh and zesty if you want to feel cooler within your home, as these colours will deepen your connection with nature and the great outdoors, without having to fling open the windows and let in the warm air. Lick Green 13 is an uplifting colour which will remind you of cool pistachio gelato, whereas Lick Green 14 with its grey undertones has more restful qualities which make it a perfect choice for a bedroom on balmy summer nights”

We would love to know if this is a fit for one of your upcoming features?


We can offer hi-res product images, expert trends commentary from Tash and even product recommendations for features you have coming down the pipe.


We are a close-knit team at Lick and always love to offer a personal approach in everything we do. 


Either way it would be SO lovely to hear from you.
