The theme of the Sikkens stand (No. 20) was colour psychology and the effect of colour on mood and emotion. At this years show, Sikkens inspired visitors with design ideas that span a variety of wallscapes and room functions. The influence of different finishes, from high gloss to dead matt and textures was also demonstrated.

Visitors were provided with details of the full range of colour services now offered to specifiers, including colour workshops, samples, and reference literature.
