It’s tempting to play it safe when it comes to injecting color into your home, but interiors that experiment with bold tones are often the most striking. The key is to do your research, make use of the color wheel, and test contrasting palettes out before decorating.

‘Vibrant shades will create an uplifting, positive mood whereas cool hues and soft blushes will create a calming ambience. Always add a surprise, whether it's a feature wall, a large rug or a bright couch; it’s a great way to create a focal point.

'If you're mixing colorful patterns, use large with medium, or medium with small. Choose prints and patterns with one color in common for a scheme that feels coordinated.’
