REVIEW RV RV FEATURE SEAT COLOURS Once you’ve moved past the fabric choice, you can start considering colours. It’s easiest to think about your favourite colours. Without labouring the choice, go with your first selection and browse through the options. Once you’ve narrowed the selection, have a look through the Laminex folder that the RV dealer will no-doubt have, as you may find a base colour with a fleck of your favourite colour through it for bench and tabletops. For benchtops, pick a patterned finish rather than a flat colour, as it won’t show dirt or dust as much. And contrary to popular belief, dark colours show the dirt more than lighter colours. Do the test yourself and see what you think! The action of choosing a colour gets the brain in motion more than fixating on the problem itself — you’ll find yourself navigating towards the right colours sooner than you think. Try to keep your base colour scheme neutral rather than ‘loud’. For pops of colour, add a bright cushion or doona cover. Neutral colour schemes always look classy and will pay for themselves at resale time, thanks to their broader appeal. It’s amazing how colours come together. One of our customers picked apple green for the seating, complemented with a lovely grey/ green print on a white doona cover, and a few green throw cushions. The van looked fresh and inviting. gorv.com.au 29
