Have Fun With Colour

Colour is one of the most powerful tools in interior design. It can set the mood, create a focal point, and transform the entire feel of a space. I believe that adding the right hues to your home can bring personality and joy into everyday life. Here are some tips to help you design with colour and make your space truly your own.

Find Your Colour Palette

Start by selecting a colour palette that speaks to YOU. This doesn’t mean everything has to match perfectly; trust your own taste when it comes to finding the colours you like. Clashing colours or unusual colour combinations can be really fun!  

You can find colour inspiration anywhere; here is some street art in Brighton

 

Choose a Focal Point

Whether it’s a statement piece of furniture, a feature wall, or a vibrant rug, use colour to draw the eye to a particular area of the room. A bold armchair, for instance, can become a striking focal point, especially when paired with muted surroundings. This trick creates visual interest without overwhelming the space and allows each piece to shine.

Don’t Be Afraid of Contrast

While coordinating colours can be beautiful, a bit of contrast adds depth. Try pairing dark and light colours, like a vibrant blue sofa against white walls or a bright accent table in an otherwise neutral room. Contrast brings dynamism to the room and highlights each element's unique character.

In our house in London, we went for a dark kitchen but added splashes of colour with art and furniture

 

Use Accessories and Art

If you’re not ready to commit to brightly coloured furniture, consider adding colour with accessories. Cushions, throws, art, and decorative pieces are easy ways to experiment with colour without overwhelming the space. Swapping these items seasonally can also keep your interiors feeling fresh and exciting. Art is easy to move around if you use adhesive strips that can be removed without leaving a mark on your walls. 

I love moving furniture and art around and trying new "constellations"

 

Reflect Your Personality with Bold Choices

Above all, use colour to express your personality. Don’t be afraid to go bold if that’s what you love! Embrace the hues that resonate with you, and create a space that brings happiness and comfort every time you walk in.

Using colour thoughtfully can transform any room, making it feel more welcoming, vibrant, and uniquely yours. Ready to bring a splash of life into your space? Explore our collection or follow us on Instagram for more colourful inspiration.
